camo needed a new twist, nice
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Stilettolover91!
ReplyDeleteOoh, love camo. I went through a phase when I was 12 where I would wear nothing but camo - obviously it wasn't as chic as this, of course! :)
Congrats Stiletto! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your picks, I'm a fan of camo male uniform ...
box-of-style
I like very much those Juicy Couture ballet flats, very cute! xxx
ReplyDeleteI still can't accept this theme... I adore prussian or anachronistic uniforms, the Beatles way or so, but this is too obviously militarist for a pacifist like me ;D
ReplyDeleteI love the Tory Burch skinny camo pants, so hot! I think my hubby needs that camo messenger bag - thanks for including a guy's item.
ReplyDeleteHappy long weekend :)
xx
I need a schoolboy blazer so bad, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd my god, I got these hideous camo pants and would wear it with this black top every 2nd day. It was insane!
Now, I own this pair of high-waisted camo hot pants from Levi's.
YES, LEVI'S.
But they're awesome, I'll post soon.
Ooh, and congrats, Stilettolover91!
Brilliant... camo with a twist. I have some camo outfits in my wardrobe... I have just like that camo mini skirt, a camo hoodie and an olive cargo pants. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I liked the Diane von Furstenberg show!! So nomads!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Thanks so much for making me the winner!!! I sent u a email!!
ReplyDeleteP.S: I love this post!!! So much amaazing stuff!! gorgeous!!

Congratulations stilettolover91! :)
ReplyDeleteCamouflage isn't a trend that normally appeals to me, but I really quite like that 'Nikka camouflage print silk dress, at asos.com'.
I adore the Erdem outfit pictured.

Hon, I could sneeze and be at your back door ;) Eastern CT!
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend!
You know what's funny? I was just at Mark's Work Warehouse (of all places) and the men's section had these giant camo t-shirts and I thought to myself, I could cut up and re-sew one of those into something interesting. But I didn't.
ReplyDeleteYou've made me want to go back, pick up one of them and create something magical.

Great post!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love those blue heels! They look fantastic! Such a gorgeous color too.
Everything you posted is fabulous, as always. :) I love your answers to the questionnaire. Hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOOOO didn't you have the red THis by Malene dress on your wishlist a few days ago?? i"m so glad you got it!!! I love the shoulders, have you worn it? or what would you wear it for??

bff.. i don't like camouflage, i won't wear it, not anymore!
ReplyDeleteDon't like Camouflage... but your post is fab ;)
ReplyDeleteXX!
I love all these modernized camo pieces- it's become much more chic!
ReplyDeleteOoh that entire DvF look is perfection! And I am loving the See by Chloé camo knit dress. Wow, I didn't actually realise that BCBG dress was even in camo, those colours are stunning. Oooh and I am loving your Malene Birger dress dear. Hope you are having a beautiful weekend :)
ReplyDeleteAgh love the camouflage theme and your birthday is 5 days before me :))
ReplyDeleteThat black fur vest is really hot! I was just thinking about fur vests and how they are everywhere... thanks for sharing awesome images as usual!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to ask you this for ages, but since you mentioned that you hate sweatpants, I thought this would be the perfect time! What do you wear when you do Pilates? I just started taking lessons last week for the first time in my life and really love it (except for the fact that she makes us work out with the air conditioner on, and in hot & humid Bangladesh that's REALLY difficult!) I've been wearing leggings and breathable t-shirts, but still feel frumpy sometimes. As I've never really been a sporty person, work out wear is a challenge for me! You should do a post on chic exercise wear! :D

Camo happens to be aguilt pleasure of mine. I don't care to wear it, but I love to look at how others use it. The Tory Burch camo pants are great. I also LOVE the Chloe knit dress. I love the idea of camo not looking uniform-like or harsh.
ReplyDeletePaz
Happy (Extended) Weekend!

ReplyDeleteThanks for all your fabulous comments, darlings!
ReplyDeletePatty Ann: Yes! I did buy the red dress ~ just had to have those bold shoulders in my fall wardrobe!
Leia: I usually wear Victoria's Secret yoga pants and a tank with a built-in shelf bra to practice and teach Pilates.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend, my lovelies!

Congrats to the winner!!
ReplyDeleteI have never been a huge camo fan, just cuz i think it looks a bit silly on me. But i do love when my friends wear camo messenger hats or camo mini skirts. When camo is done correctly, it can look sooo cute!
love sequined dress!

I've never been a huge fan of camo but I love the colors at Diane Von Furstenberg. It almost felt like fall leaves falling down the runway.
ReplyDeleteCC lookat my blog to see an outfit with balmain ^.^
ReplyDeletekisses
There is something so sexy and cool about camo inspired clothing.
ReplyDeletelululetty.blogspot.com
Love those strawberry pink leopard tights and the duckies of course too - hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteI love the camo maxi dress! Such a great contrast!
ReplyDeleteI love camouflage but I have a hard time pulling it off. Thank you for your sweet comment about my brother. Means a lot to me. Hope you're having a great weekend, Carrie.
ReplyDeleteYour blog really inspires me.
Lovely tag and photos to illustrate dear CC! Our birthday's are very close you know!! Mine is on the 20th of Nov (fellow Scorpio, no wonder I love CC so!) I also very much agree with your dislikes, Crocs and sweatpants especially. I don't care how cold it might be or how comfy they claim to be.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!♥

Even though not many people I know like camo, I love it! Great post!
ReplyDeleteMy fave is Betsey Johnson!
ReplyDeletecongratsss stiletooo =)
ReplyDeleteDo you know by any chance who brought camouflage to fashion? I think it was back in the 80'ties.
ReplyDeleteI remember my younger daughter buying a camouflage shirt when she was (1992) .. and although it's been on for some time, I am not sure I like it, though you have some beautiful pictures in your post.
I love the BCBG camouflage dress! Oh and that filet mignon looks absolutely DELECTABLE.
ReplyDeletei love that camouflage maxi xooxx
ReplyDeletethat floor exercise pose is part of my daily routine! ha!

ReplyDeleteReally cool post! I don't even like camo, but I think you might just have convinced me to try it. :) Especially loving the DVF and Tory Burch pics.
ReplyDeleteI love Florence, Italy and Corfu, Greece too! I celebrated my 19th birthday on that charming little Ionian island...good times! I think my favorite Greek island is Santorini.
