I’ve been tagged by the über-talented Blood Roses with listing 6 unimportant THINGS THAT MAKE CC HAPPY:
1) poolside retreats

2) really shiny lip gloss, like MAC Lipglass or Lancome (pictured at right)
3) art and artists – sketch at right by French graphic design duo Michael Amzalag and Mathias Augustyniak, aka MM Paris, via nytimes.com.
4) champagne cocktails; Rose Royale at left via Elle Décor
5) getting a glimpse into the couturier’s atelier Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci with client Reese Witherspoon, pictured via style.com.
6) fresh cut flowers





I am tagging Fellow Fashionistas Lenore, Fashion Moment, and anyone else who needs a little Black Friday diversion after a rough day of shopping!
