Jet Set Style + TAG!


Tagged by the fabulously fashionable Nina of Femme Rationale with 6 things that make CC happy:
1) Lounging: in a café, chatting with a gal pal; at home, on the comfort of a Chaise lounge; or poolside.

2) The beach, any season, any country; photo via vanityfair.com

3) Painting (CC original at right)

4) Elegant asymmetry, as at Monique Lhuillier Bridal, via nymag.com
5) Big baubles (but they don’t have to have a big price tag – this charm bracelet is just $38 at lulus.com)

6) Jet Set Style

I am so happy to hear what makes CC happy! Great post. I love jet set lifestyles (even though mine is stationary). About my sister's wedding. She chose the maid of honor gown and I just bought it. It is cute - brown a-line strapless. I am going to have one of my friends rework it after I wear it to something more my taste. The wedding is in Vail, CO in May. It will be beautiful

I've always loved the jetset style but I think one should personalize it with something because otherwise it would be a bit boring.
