Honored by the fabulous FashionJazz, the divine Petra of Voyages en Rose, and the darling Nina of Ballerina's Closet Obsession ~ thank you, my dears!
And now, for 7 Interesting Things about CC:
1) I am a rabid overdresser.
2) I looove the cold, especially when it snows! This photo courtesy Fellow Fashionista Monica of Ciao, Chessa!
3) At the tender age of 10, I learned Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. It is traditionally done with square paper but I couldn’t resist posting this dollar bill shirt!
4) It is nearly impossible for me to find shoes, as I am a size (gulp!) 41. Just got these amazing zipper detail boots on sale at shopbop.com ~ thank goodness Paul & Joe Sister make an 11!
5) I speak fluent Spanish. I was a Spanish and Art History major at Emory University and taught high school Spanish in New York City for 5 years.
6) I am addicted to the song “Fireflies” by Owl City. Addicted.
7) I flew DG’s plane (for about 5 seconds, but that counts, right?).
Also received this gorgeous award from The Society of Style. Thank you, doll!

A Piece of Passion – for her amazing imagery.

congrats on all the awards, I always find your blog really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI really liked reading some different tidbits about you Carrie! I used to speak fluent Spanish also and immersed myself in it for 4 years. When I was in high school I desperately wanted to attend Emory as a communications major, but I stayed in my hometown area. I hate the cold though so we differ in that area. I have pretty big feet, but not as big as yours (39-39.5)=) So happy you found some cute shoes at Shopbop! This was one of my favorite posts of yours! xoxo

I really do hope for the sake of some fortunate kids that you go back to teaching some day. Little people should have terrfic teacher-crushes, and you would be a topper.

If it makes you feel better about having big feet, they usually have more selection when it comes to the clearance room.

So funny to hear thiose things. But I already knew about your shoesize (same to me)! :)
ReplyDeleteX Suusje Q.
Yay for speaking flunt Spanish and for doing origami! Origami always seemed really difficult to me, plus you need to be patient to do it, so I guess that's why I could never remember even the bits I ever learnt of it. And it's hard for me to imagine how one can love the cold and snow... I'm the opposite :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT POST!!!!
ReplyDeletelovely pictures! congradulations on the awards!
ReplyDeletehttp://pinkchampagnefashion.blogspot.com/
The zipper boots are AWESOME! As are huge feet, haha. I'm a size 41 (some brands, 42, yikes), so I feel ya. Why some brands stop their sizes at 40 is BEYOND ME. Lauren
