CC's "Vices"!

Darlings, CC thought she'd share with you some of her "weaknesses"... call them vices, obsessions, soft spots, what have you!  When CC wants to splurge, either calorie-wise or $-wise, these are her go-to items.  Hope you enjoy this decadent and delicious post!

You will notice that each selection is accompanied by a question: 

CC is tagging all of her Fellow Fashionistas to post about their "vices"!

Expensive shoes.

Cool coats like this one by L.A.M.B.

Which wardrobe staple are you most likely to stockpile?

Designer dresses. 

CC just snapped up this Sass & Bide One More Night dress at theOutnet.com. 

Love the metallic sheen and waist detail.

Where do you purchase the majority of your dresses?

Bikinis.

 CC has over 50 in her collection!  This one is by Have Faith Swimwear.

Do you "collect" a particular item of clothing?

Beach vacations... CC is a self-professed sun worshipper!

What is your favorite holiday escape?

Nail polish.

CC has amassed a ridiculous number of lacquers by favorite brands Essie, Butter London, and Zoya.

Are there any beauty products that you have in spades?

Each piece is lovingly handmade in the finest materials.

Designer Spotlight: Ulyana Sergeenko

Darlings, CC is so excited to introduce you to Designer Ulyana Sergeenko.
Here are some looks from her Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Collection.

Here's a bit about the Designer:

Although Ulyana Sergeenko has a degree in philology she was always

interested in fashion paying close attention to her appearance and style.

Indulging her interest in design throughout the years she has developed

a vast collection of haute couture, vintage and antique clothes admiring

quality, craftsmanship and artistic value. Initially her love for all things fashion

lead her to the photography as a perfect media for expressing her artistic

vision. From this point she started to be not only an admirer but participant

of fashion process taking an active part in the creation of fashion images as

a photographer and stylist. Though Ulyana loves and appreciates works of

many designers she always wanted to create something that would be an

essence of her personal style. Eventually all this lead to the creation of her

debut collection that she presented in Moscow in April 2011. Consisting of

34 looks this collection has all the signature elements of Ulyana's style: floor-

length chiffon gowns, astrakhan fur coats, rose-printed full skirts and hilarious

puffed shoes. Actually a lot of the clothes in which Ulyana has been captured

for the various magazines and streetstyle blogs are from her first collection.

The collection was featured in a lot of Russian magazines such as Vogue,

Harpers Bazaar, L'Officiel, Tatler, Glamour etc. As for the inspirations - it

could be anything from a film by Visconti or Fellini to a Soviet school uniform,

from old cartoons to patriotic mosaics on the walls of Moscow underground

stations or antique French wooden screens painted in flowers, etc.

Merry Christmas to all!
