These pieces are white hot CC! The only thing I hate about white is that you have to watch where you sit, who you hug and where you stand as to not get any stains. The Alice & Olivia full-skirted tank dress is super adorable. I love the snowstorm jeans, as well. The Marchesa dress is stunning as is Pucci look.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Clare!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so in love with that Reem Acra dress (or is that a pantsuit?) it flows so beautifully.
Really love those back zips on those amazing white jeans!
Lovely post, CC!
xx Ela
Ohh, I love white so much! I think half my wardrobe is just white! Nothing makes you feel more beautiful than an all-white ensemble. xx Leia
ReplyDeletegive me that reem acra resort dress and i'll be happy :)
ReplyDeletegreat finds, lady!
I love the way that white looks against tanned skin. Or really any skin tone! It's such a perfect summery color :)
ReplyDeleteI love that Alice & Olive tank dress, and the Seven straight leg jeans - too cute for words (and of course a pair of J Brand white skinnies would be amazing too ;)
Enjoy your day, dear!

White is the best colour in the summer especially when you have a tan and a pop of colour :)
ReplyDeleteI saw the most gorgeous white floaty dress at Topshop recently should have snagged it but it wasn't on sale and I'm 'trying' to stick to the whole recessionista thing ;).

omg...gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! I love white in summer and wear it every day. which reminds me...I have to take my new white jeans to be hemmed since they make them for amazon women and not 5'5" girls like me...
ReplyDeleteThe white ripped jeans are just gorgeous!! I love them!
ReplyDeleteGucci Resort, Alice + Olivia Tank Dress, Tibi A-line Pinafore Dress, Roberto Cavalli Resort...darling, I think I'm in love. All of this is white hot - especially for the summer! :)
ReplyDeleteWe both had white on the mind today...
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so very much, CC!! I feel absolutely wonderful now!
ReplyDeleteBut let's talk about this divine post! I love white, esp in the summer! Ahh it is so crispy and eye catching. White also has such a romantic and pure quality, too!
Another beautiful post!
Cheers!
The white shade is perfect for summer. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI wore white jeans last weekend and I forgot to bring my Tide pen with me. I came home with white paints with spots, stains and spills. I never spill on regular jeans.
ReplyDeletexo
I just bought a pair of white jeans and need to get them hemmed cuz I'm dying to wear them!
ReplyDeletenothing is better than wearing all white in the summer especially now that I am tan!
I love all white because it looks so clean crisp. I relay like the mini in the fifth picture. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteLike them so much! White is always fashionable.
ReplyDeleteyou are correct darling, white is HOT but your white post is SEXY!!!
ReplyDeletei loved those bags!

ReplyDeleteYay! I love, love, love white sun dresses!! And those white bikinis are beautiful. Now I wish I had worn white today...sigh. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhite IS hot.
ReplyDeleteI had a pair of white jeans from Scullers of all places till 2 months back. Then, I spilled something on them. Can we say klutz?
Items from this white hot list I'm coveting:
Matt and Nat Warhol bag
Liz Riz hobo
Victoria's Secret retro top and skirted bottom (could have something to do with my affinity with Adrianna Lima. It's plausible)
Ooh, and the Victoria's Secret bandeau bikini.
Versace,Herve Leger,Marchesa and Gucci Resort collection pieces.
OOh and the BCBG MaxAzria one!
Plus, the Bagley Mischka Resort dress.
Huh. Got in 98% of them in, didn't I?
I should've been rich -.-

White is always a nice and basic, yet classy color to wear. My only concern is when the monthly starts - I'm always scared to wear white because of it! Love the skinny jeans though. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Alice and Olivia tank dress is so perfect! I love white. And that Japanese Vogue...I need to find it!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
These jeans are to die for! They are perfect for summer nights!
ReplyDeleteyour blog is adorable. I love that you give multiple images for your posts. Truly a fan<3 BTW those J Brand jeans are so adorable...;-)
ReplyDeleteWhite is definitely a staple in my wardrobe. That Marc Jacobs hobo is calling my name!
ReplyDeleteI need more white pieces that don't just comprise of a white T-shirt. In fact, I need to go summer shopping. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm normally not a big fan of white (I feel like I can't keep it from going dingy) but I just got a little white dress. My first, I think! You'll see photos soon if the weather cooperates.
ReplyDeletewhite white white
ReplyDeletelove it!
the ripped jeans are brilliant,
xx
White is purely intense. Or is it intensely pure? Gorgeous, darling! White always makes me think of summer...in the Hamptons, in Greece, in South of Spain...
ReplyDeletei like the white ripped jeans and the bikini with the turquoise details x
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with the white alice and olivia tank dress you posted... but I would LOVE to win these jeans!
ReplyDeleteWhite is a perennial classic for the summer, especially little white sun dresses!
ReplyDeleteWhite is hot! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't owned a pair of white jeans since I was in middle school. Yikes..long time ago. Anyway, these jeans are really cute.
White jeans are my FAVORITE. They're so versatile and always look fresh! J Brand has the best fit, so white J Brands sound like a little bit of heaven!
ReplyDeleteWow.. amazing choices, my dear. I want to cover myself in all white today! Fab bikinis!
ReplyDeletexo,
Christina

ReplyDeleteliliesandgrapes.blogspot.com
I crave WHITE!! I just love it so much. You torture me with these posts! I feel like I need to revamp my closet everyday after you post! LOVE IT! thank you.
ReplyDelete<3,
Iva
White is always fab! Some people are scared to wear it because of the "OMG, it so going to get dirty" running through their minds. I own a white dress and it is never dirty.
ReplyDeleteloooove white it's my fav color ever, so pure clean and looks so good in summer!!
ReplyDeleteall white.. never goes out of style in my book
ReplyDeletecheck out elie saab's fall couture line.. it was all white and just fabulous <3 loved ur picks x
ReplyDeleteI adore white clothes...but I'm not very good at wearing them. I always end up with a stain.:(
ReplyDeleteIn this 104 degree heat, I particularly appreciate eyeing these crisp summer whites!
ReplyDeleteThat BCBG mini with the interesting texturing is so glam. And that Marchesa is just so, well, Marchesa - love the assymetrical shoulder and almost Celtic detail around the waist.
I'm not usually one for something that is super trendy, and I'm also usually not careful enough to wear white. But, I would love to win the J Brand skinny jeans, they look awesome!
ReplyDeletefab stuff!
ReplyDeletewish i could wear more white, but it's hard to keep whites fresh-looking in a hot tropical environment- which is just the kind of place one wants to be when wearing whites! oh, the irony! ;)
anyway, i love the white jeans, swimsuits and several of those amazing dresses.
Love this post! So perfect for summer. Just bought a white maxi dress and am loving it!
ReplyDeleteI have worn an alarming low amount of white this summer for some reason. The Pucci resort dress looks absolutely stunning! And I really do like that BCBG dress. Ooh the B&B look is fantastic, I love the pairing with the colourful jacket. And yum to the Marc Jacobs bag :)
ReplyDeleteeveryone looks beautiful in white too! thanks for sharing those lovely photos, and must have summer items :)
ReplyDeletei stumbled across your lovely blog via Haute World, and I love it. I will definitely be visiting often!

ReplyDeletewow.. white IS hot. love the photoooos
ReplyDeleteWhat could be hotter than summer tan in white? These are all pretty fabulous, but I have to say I'm most in love with the white bikinis- you have to be a pretty brazen bathing beauty to dare to bare it all in white! These suits are all gorgeous. -e
ReplyDeleteLove Balenciaga jacket, so cute.
ReplyDeleteXOX
I am so into white right now
ReplyDeleteOh my god, I love the white -- way too hot. And it's just the season too.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Marc by Marc Jacobs Lil Riz hobo in white... too bad a white bag is so difficult to maintain.
ReplyDeleteCool contest! I adore white for summer. It makes me sad when I look through my wardrobe and see such a sea of black and navy.
ReplyDeleteI love white, it's just so light and breezy.
ReplyDeletemmm id love a pair of white leather pants ahahha

Ah white, I have such a love-hate relationship with thee. White can express so many different looks and always look intensely fresh, but it's also intensely high maintenance!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the jeans!!
ReplyDeleteThose zipper jeans are phenomenal!!
ReplyDeleteall this white is making me want to go on a white spree - it really is classic.
ReplyDeletewow... no you really hit it on the spot.
ReplyDeleteim stupid for white but unfortunately
im a dirty boy :(
i love all the white outfit. esp the one shoulder. fantastic!
ReplyDeletewhite is hot but how do you wear white without a sneak peek of the under garments. that's something i can never overcome!
ReplyDeleteI cannot even begin to tell you how in love with this post I am I honestly can say I love every image and look on this page I might even bookmark to look to it for inspiration =]
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful

ReplyDeleteHi there-such a fabulous post my dear, gorgeous picks and you can't beat white for the perfect summer outfit!
ReplyDeleteWhite can be so sexy! Love those dresses. I want everyone of them!
ReplyDeletewhite is so appealing, it gives its wearer a lighter mood...
ReplyDeleteI love wearing white!
ReplyDeletethrouthehaze at gmail dot com
Eek,the white shredded jeans - delectable! Shame white tends not to love me as much as I love it, ha.
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely, I gave you an award on our blog :)
- nadia
sometimes it's hard to find a perfect pair of white pants or jeans, i own one but it doesn't fit me perfectly so i just let it lay down on the bottom of my wardrobe. Hope this one will fit (that is if i win it, of course ^o^)
ReplyDeleteLove,

Amazing post! Yuo never fail to inspire me! I always stay away from white because I am so scared it'll be dirty :/
ReplyDeleteAhh, bellisima, there is nothing more perfect than crisp white on a summer tan. Cannot wait for summer (haha, and I'll be saying the opposite once I've tired of summer I'm sure :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a fabulous week and enjoying your summer and wearing fantastic white!

After this reading this post I'm falling in love with white all over again!!! I love that bag from Basso & Brooke Resort. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteL.KaylaRN[at]gmail[dot]com
I always want to try white jeans but I'm so afraid of getting them dirty! I know myself too well to think I could stay clean every time I wear them.
ReplyDeleteWhite looks good on anybody with any complexion. It just makes people beam. I love that the models showing off those jeans have some shape too. The jeans are so cute too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spread CC!
keepitapstyle@gmail.com
I adore white always but specially during warm summer! I don't know how to survive without white sheer (not transparent!) tops and dresses or cotton tees. So many beautiful pieces and the first editorial pic is such a perfection!
ReplyDeleteThese white pieces are so stunning and inspiring. I could go for a white bikini but I'm afraid I'm too much of a schlamiel to ever wear much white otherwise.
ReplyDeleteLove white jeans for summer! The collage of white makes me want to take a week to celebrate the color and wear nothing else! Would loooove to win these J Brands!!
ReplyDeleteLovely whites dearest CC! I secretly think that this is the most flattering color for my skin tone... I also love♥ your newest giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a wonderful week. So happy tomorrow is Friday. :) xxoxo♥♥
gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous...i saw the mcqueens this morning and almost fainted...luckily i had already eaten breakfast....are you on twitter??
ReplyDeleteOh love! I used to think I was too pale to pull off white, but now I'm over it and do it all the time...these dresses, jeans and bags are all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE white, I think it looks so amazing in the summer, and I am looking for the perfect pair of white jeans...I still can't seem to find any!!
ReplyDeleteWhite hot for certain! Nothing better than crisp white denim and a flowy blouse :]
ReplyDeleteCarrie, thank you for your lovely comment. When it comes to what I think about Haute Couture Collections - my heart, once again, belongs to Dior! I thought the hats (thanks to the genius of Galliano and Stephen Jones) were absolutely spectacular and overall designes breathtaking. I am sad to learn that my beloved Christian Lacroix might be retiring - his Collections are always so unique and so beautifully designed. I barely survived Valentino Garavani retirement, now - Lacroix!
ReplyDeleteStrategic entry this time. Trying for an ending spot.....
ReplyDeleteI am so excited, thank-you so very much, can't wait to wear those great looking jeans, you are a darling!!!
ReplyDeletei mailed you my address and size

ReplyDeleteThis look like some 1800ian parisian expo! Love ' les blancs ' !!

I love white! Everything up there is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI adore white clothing. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteI love J Brand AND white jeans! Any advice on how to wear them if you are pear-shaped?
ReplyDeleteHi Karla! The best way to wear white jeans if you are pear-shaped is as a layering piece, with a tunic or top that hits at mid-thigh. Have fun! J Brand truly is the best!
ReplyDeletexoxox,
CC
Gotta love J Brand! White jeans are so chic- I'm loving these!
ReplyDeletethis post is the confirmation that the white never fails
