Lust lists sound like fun. I really wanted bangs when I was in middle school, so I got them and got bored with them after about a month. They're cute sometimes, but I am happy that mine grew out as well.
ReplyDeleteWow, it has been a while. I hope you are well. I missed your blog too:) OMG that motorcycle jack is to die for.

I just got bangs at the end of July..kept them pinned up all through August b/c it was too hot, now that i can wear them down, they need a trim..such a pain in the butt, but i still like them =)
ReplyDeleteUmmmm...forget the $495 I needed for the A+O dress....I need $4,000 for Rodarte's gorgeous moto jacket!!
I really love the dress that you wear with your friend at Fransesca, I love the pattern and the shape! ^^

ReplyDeleteHi Carrie! Wonderful blog you have! I am a huge Lulu's fan and love that you have the contest on your blog - in fact, consider this my entry :) I adore the photo of the model in the Balenciaga zebra-esque silk dress with black stockings on the bicycle in the countryside - it's so beautiful and whimsical! And the Lulu's dress by Collective Concepts was a good pick :) They have tons of great, new items to choose from!

I'm right there with you on the full length gowns!! Luckily, I live in Louisiana and occasionally get to go to a Mardi Gras ball, so I at least have that excuse to buy gowns every now and then! It's been the only way to get my fix since prom! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the CC dress - great shape, great colors! Glad I came across your blog! :)
Hi CC - hope you had a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteAlphaBetaChic.blogspot.com
Love the bongade jacket!
ReplyDeleteRodarte, of course.
See you soon hon!
Since you confessed that although you love all things couture, you only own one floor-length gown ... I think it is due time for me to also confess although I am all about bargains, I have a secret love for all things couture/designer and wish that I could afford maybe just a few pieces (like that K.J. metallic skirt and that Rodarte motorcycle jacket -- doesn't it count that I have bargain-y motorcyle boots that would look fantastic with it?) :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.bargainbex.blogspot.com
Well one can only say that I hope the fellow CC realises what a catch he has!
ReplyDeleteThe equestrian jacket is wonderful!
Oooh so cute! Loving the jacket. The jewelry is gorgeous also. Hot picks! I hand't heard of lulus.com before, I'm browsing now though and I think you've created a monster... ;)

So funny you only have one full-length gown! I don't even have one and I need to get one before next Friday... desperately searching the consignment stores right now.
ReplyDeleteLove the biker jacket, by the way. xoxox
Hi Carrie, glad I found your blog! The great thing about shopping at Lulu's is that you always look like you've spent much more than you did on your outfit! The Collective Concepts dress is a great example of that. if I'd seen only the picture I'd guess that it came from an expensive department store or boutique. You and your boyfriend look adorable together by the way.
ReplyDeleteI keep the image of the girl on the bike for my new site!!!! so lovely image <3

ReplyDeleteYou did look good with that full fringe!
Love the second picture!
ReplyDeleteAnd, by the way, would appreciate a more structured layout where picture and the text belonging to it go closer together. But I realized that the problem is partly solved by labeling the pictures accordingly, so maybe I am the only one who has to scroll all the time?
Kind regards
Polly
The earrings and apron :D
ReplyDeleteAh pearls can be so elegant yet so chic at the same time. One of those few accessories that go all around.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!!!
