Award and Tag!

Happy Labor Day, darlings!

CC is honored to have received this lovely award from Statements in Fashion. It requires the recipient to state 7 random facts, so here goes:

1) I can whistle through my teeth. I call it "stealth whistling".

2) I was a gymnast until I got too tall. I can still do a back walkover.

3) I am addicted to Starbucks pumpkin scones. Dontcha just love autumn?

4) I lived in New York City for 6 years and didn't drive at all. I just got my license (again - had to retake the test since it had been so long since my license expired!).

5) My BF, Greg, is running to be State Representative. I'd love it if you would all become fans of his on Facebook!

6) I am a Yoga and Pilates instructor.

7) I can swim a lap and a half underwater.

CC is tagging all of her Fellow Fashionistas to do this fun survey. In addition, CC is passing along this lovely award to all of her readers. Congrats, darlings!

Picnic Chic

In preparation for the holiday weekend, CC has prepared a delectable post aimed at outfitting her Fellow Fashionistas in the most fabulous picnic finery. Enjoy, darlings!
First, you’ll need a cozy blanket or two. Why not opt for a Missoni beach towel? Available at barneys.com.
Naturally, you’ll need a picnic basket. This set is from amazon.com.
Now for the nums! In addition to a crusty baguette or two, a Granny Smith apple and some red grapes, you’ll need this delectable Redwood Hill Farm Cheese Collection from williams-sonoma.com.
A must for any picnic? A delicious wine that’s also a conversation piece: Bitch Grenache, at klwines.com.
Surely we won’t pour our robust red into a plastic cup! Perish the thought! Bring those Riedel glasses and keep them from tipping with these genius Picnic Plus wine glass holders, at digitalfotoclub.com.
Of course, you’ll need the perfect outfit, complete with a full-skirted frock. Unique Vintage dress at unique-vintage.com.
Complement that breezy dress with a pair of heels that won’t dig into the grass. Donna Karan plaid fabric cork wedge sandals, at net-a-porter.com.
Just in case it gets a tad chilly, you’ll need a proper cardi: Fiore cotton cardigan, at jcrew.com.
Along with your SPF, you’ll need some protection from those UV rays in the form of a wide-brimmed topper. Try this Eugenia Kim Honey sunhat, at shopbop.com.
To keep yourselves entertained: Some fun games! CC and Greg are hooked on Rummy 500. Playing cards at bicyclecards.com.
