thank you dear. you should feature this Acne striped dress!
Vertical stripes = instant slimming = I need a wardrobe full.
PS did you hear that Alexander McQueen committed suicide? So sad, I loved his crazy designs. :(
I love this look!!! Such a great way to have fun with a fairly simple pattern! ;) I love the Balenciaga top!! Beautiful post CC!!
oh that Balenciaga makes me swoon-love the alternative to the ubiq nautical xo
Love the picks...Brilliant as always Carrie :)
Gorgeous! Gotta love vertical stripes, always adorable

Nuheila
thats first yellow dress....
*sighs*
So slimming! I love the Sophie Theallet runway look and the Madison Marcus Infinite dress.
love the yellows!
I love vertical stripes -- they're almost always flattering, though I'm still suspicious of stripes on pants (unless they're a narrow pin stripe) -- nothing's worse than stripes looking not-so-straight because the pants aren't cut perfectly!
Personally I'm not a fan of too many stripes, but I like a nice striped tank top and subtly striped pieces like this dress in teh first pic... But I do like those Behnaz Sarafpour booties :) I still remember them from oen of your posts a while ago! Also, you got me totally hooked on Miu Miu Forma cut out seude sandals!! I find myself daydreaming about them at work lol First spotted them in some mag here and thought they were pretty, then you posted them too and I thought they were beutiful... The they were present in your yesterday's cropped pants post too and I am sold!!!! They're 50% more expensive here in Moscow than in Europe (I checked today) but I'm going to try to find them and try them on tomorrow... Damn CC!!! :) xoxo
DKNY pre-fall and Lacoste are my absolute favorites! I love the nautical vibe of red, white, and blue stripes!! :)
Vertical stripes are great but I think the thicker they are the harder they are to wear.
Stunning post!!!! I love vertical stripes!! These are all gorgeous!!

I really do like the effect vertical stripes have on the body. It makes you look longer and leaner which is what every girl wants. Gorgeous looks!!

Hello Balenciaga!

I'm still shocked by the sudden death of A McQueen~RIP*
No stripes in my own closet, but as always, you give me pause.
I love the DKNY seersucker and RL mobster stripe suits though. Terrific how they poke a little fun at a menswear look and sex it up at the same time.

Take care and have a great weekend :)
I dont think I've ever worn vertical stripes, something to look out for, for sure.
