30 for 30: Day 5 Friiiiday!

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that the weekend is here. People are always saying how its nice to come back to work after a 3-day weekend, because its a short week... ha! Short week, my ass! This was the longest week ever. Now, its over, and my boss is leaving to go out of town for the next week, which is great. Not because I don't like him, I just sometimes would rather him be in China than standing over my desk giving me task after task, you know what I'm saying.

Also! This weekend H leaves for Dallas for 2 whole weeks! SO, that means, get ready for the following:

1. Hold-out pics of my outfits (showing one piece at a time- two if we're lucky)

2. Self- timer pics of my outfits. (I am not the best at this- see below.)

3. Guest photographers (my coworkers)

4. Me posing with/by/on/under random objects at work.

last but not least-

5. Mention of awesome shows like the Bachelorette, Real Housewives, Lifetime movies... etc.

Even though I got off work at a decent hour tonight, I look as though I got hit by truck on my way home. Also, please excuse me wearing the same necklace 2 days in a row- I may have slept in it.

Layered tanks: BP @ Nordstrom

Mini: H&M

shoes: must have lost them somewhere ?

Necklace: F21

Hello, darlings, it’s CC! I was so excited when Vivianne asked me to do a guest post for her! This survey focuses on chic black pieces to round out your wardrobe, as our lovely Vivianne adores dressing in head to toe jet!

First photo: Japanese Vogue, August 2009. Consider a black miniskirt, either in leather or silk!


CC loves this Tibi silk mini skirt from theOutnet.com. It has a minishorts underlay beneath the crepe de chine bubble hem skirt ~ perfect for sultry summer nights!


Just pair with a sexy pair of gladiators or platform pumps. How about these Fendi chain-trimmed suede sandals from net-a-porter.com?


Or try these Rock & Republic Alayna chain pumps from shopbop.com.


A staple of CCs wardrobe, these J Brand 10” ankle skinny jeans are pure stretch denim perfection. Find them at shopbop.com.


You’ll also need some wet look leggings. CC is a big fan of these ones from blackmilkclothing.com. Perfect for layering under a tunic or minidress!


Frolic on the beach in this Red Carter eyelet bikini from shopbop.com.


Opt for an adventurous asymmetric LBD this summer like this Whistles ruched bodycon dress, at asos.com.


Looking ahead to fall: consider this Michael Kors leather-paneled crepe dress from net-a-porter.com.


Pair it with some strong and sweet accessories. CC is smitten with this chunky Nixon brushed stainless steel watch from net-a-porter.com.


CC also adores this ribbon rosette clutch from J. Crew.


Hope you’ve enjoyed this bodacious black post, darlings. Thanks again, Viv!
