Metallic and shine look killer in accessories; it really makes the outfit look so much more alive, if you know what I mean.

It does look cheap sometimes, but I love the Vera Wang asymetrical try... also because of Hanne-G ;D

Intrinsically Florrie said...

That Dennis Basso dress is so sweet. And the DKNY bag is rather gorgeous. Of course I love the Luella dress, and the Oscar de la Renta appeals to the elegant lady in me. :)

hi, couture carrie,
i'm actually a model, so as you might expect, i love fashion as well! i especially agree with your metallics list- liquid leggings are my favorite american trend. i actually found a rather cute "up-and-coming" fashion website- what do you think of it?
