CC Loves...

Darlings, its' time to resurrect the (seemingly long defunct) tag! Here are some of the things that CC loves...

What shows/clothes/foods/sports/books etc. are you smitten with? CC is tagging all of her fellow fashionistas to post their loves!

Absolutely Fabulous! Other favorite shows include Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy, 30 Rock, Scandal and the original Beverly Hills, 90210!

AcroYoga, Pilates and Barre ~ that's CC on the lower left of that triple down dog!

Bikinis. CC has over 100, including this Sauvage Swimwear Allure bikini, at sauvagewear.com.

Blueberry pancakes. CC's dad used to make them from scratch when she was a little girl :)

Bold beauty, especially gorgeous glosses.

Chic cocktails, particularly vodka martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives.

Cool cupcakes. CC's faves are red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting... Yum!

Haute hats; oversized fedora from riverisland.com.

NYC, where CC lived for six years when she was a public high school Spanish teacher.

Pretty party dresses.

 Three Floor Blue Noise Dress ~ CC just snapped up on sale at asos.com.

Setting personal goals and attaining them; CC ran her first half marathon in October!

The New York Times progressive crossword puzzle, especially on Thursdays... it's challenging but not impossible.

What do you love, darlings?

Can't wait to see your posts!

CC Loves... NYC!

Darlings, as you may already know, CC lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for six years.  Having moved back to the 'burbs of Connecticut a few years ago, there are a number of things that CC truly misses about NYC.  Here are a few of CC's favorite New York City attractions, etc.  Enjoy!

Black and white cookies.

Dollar stores where things actually cost just a dollar.

Fabulous affordable fresh cut flowers at every bodega in town... CC misses her weekly tulip bouquet!

Henri Bendel and Bergdorf Goodman ~ one of a kind stores on Fifth Avenue.

CC actually worked at Bergdorf's for a short time about ten years ago!

CC's tailor, located in a tiny fluff and fold on 96th and Broadway... 

There's nothing like having affordable, custom clothes at your fingertips, darlings!

Phenomenal bars and restaurants on every corner. 

Pastis in the meatpacking district is a CC fave for steak frites and dirty martinis.

Reebok Sports Club, where there is a rooftop terrace and an outdoor track, among other luxe amenities.

Sunbathing, running, free concerts and picnicking in Central Park.

Tasti D Lite, the most delicious fro yo around~ CC was completely addicted to the peanut butter flavor ;)

The Barney's New York Warehouse Sale, which happens twice a year at the Barneys Co-op location on 17th Street...  CC once found a Balmain dress for 90% off!

The best take-out and delivery in the world, 24 hours a day. CC particularly misses Saigon Grill.

Zabar's - especially the olive bar, the amazing cheese shop and the home goods shop on the mezzanine.

CC hopes you have enjoyed CC's little love letter to NYC.

Where have been your favorite places to live, darlings?
