    love the piled up hair on the first model and the blonde bob with shades on. Oh they are all fabulous from their hot hairstyles, nude and shimmery sheaths, to sexy wrap around heals. FYI tried several times to send you and email via your couturecarrie address and it kept getting returned .

    Thanks for all your amazing comments, darlings!

    And Belle de Ville ~ big thank you for the 15% discount at Beladora.com!

    Lily: I think one way to wear nude without looking washed out is to put the focus on your accessories ~ gorgeous gold chains and/or a big belt and some statement shoes. Also, bronzer!

    I love nudes for spring but I thought it was completely done to death on the catwalks and I always like to go against trends so i'll probably rebel in brights!

    Darling im a bit in love with your blog - do you want to exchange links?

    Thanks for your lovely comment

    Hope you had an immense weekend

    Stay safe and chic
