1) I worship Vogue. I take a full day off of work when my September issue arrives. Can’t wait to see that movie, btw!

4) I hardly ever wear makeup. Photo courtesy Fellow Fashionista Fashion Pulse.

6) I loves me a dirty martini with lots of olives! That’s CC on the left and gorgeous NYC pal Jamie on the right.
7) I have been engaged twice but never married. French Vogue, April 2006.

9) I was an Art History and Spanish major as an undergraduate at Emory University. Vogue, February 2009.
10) I adore both classical architecture and bathing suits! Italian Vogue, June 2004.



III. CC is happiest when...
Tagged by the fabulous Miss Chelle to state that CC is happiest whenever...
1) the postman delivers a lovely package, like the one I just received from theOutnet.com containing this fantastic Single abstract-print dress!
2) I get to wear a fabulous new frock!
3) my family gets together for brunch. These are my niece and nephews, Benjamin, Myles, and Teagan!
4) I have time to paint! Russian Vogue editorial courtesy Fellow Fashionista Fashion Pulse.
5) I have a steamy first kiss. Italian Vogue, September 2007.
6) I’ve just finished a strenuous Yogilates session, run, or Spinning class.
7) a new magazine arrives. CC subscribes to Vogue, W, Elle, Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Nylon, Marie Claire, Glamour and Lucky! Italian Vogue supplement, March 2008.
8) I get to enjoy ripe avocados in my salad!
9) I’ve just had a refreshing swim in the ocean or in my favorite local swimming pool. Taryn Davidson, 2007 test shot via nymag.com.
10) I receive fantastic comments from my fantastic Fellow Fashionistas and Followers! Vogue, July 2000.
CC is tagging all of you, darlings! Hope these two tags make you smile!

    What wonderful facts about yourself! I love little posts like this (I actually just did the one you posted a while ago about things that make me happy!).
    We have so much in common - which of course, I already knew - from loving Vogue (especially the September issue!), to swimming, architecture, and yogilates...also, you look gorgeous in that picture (and your friend is lovely too), and your nephews and niece are just too precious for words!
    Enjoy your weekend, darling!
