softie

we all know that i have a soft spot for cynthia rowley,

especially when it comes to dresses,

so it is so surprise that i have quite a few favorites in her spring 2010 collection.

british vogue says that

"bleeding neckline dresses, slashed pants, shattered sequin sweaters,

purposely threadbare tanks and shredded canvas belts and mules

made it feel like we’d just stumbled into a Tim Burton movie,"

but i must add that it is a very glamorous
and feminine tim burton movie,

and one in which i would gladly play a starring role.

i love the shorter but full skirts,
the asymmetry of the dresses,
the layering and broaches,
the bleeding of colors into white ,
and the ruffles and tiers of fabric.

A Little Something Pretty No. 87: DVF

Although today was the first official day of fall, the temperatures in Athens topped out at 86 degrees. The heat and humidity of the south is seriously hampering my fall wardrobe, so I've turned to NY Fashion Week to supply me with a final round of summery loveliness. 

Another of my favorite designers is Diane Von Furstenberg as I can always rely on her to give me something exciting and inspiring. I love the feminine silhouettes and mix of patterns in her Spring 2009 RTW collection. Also, the hair pieces are really great; I would actually sport one of these if my hair were still long. The top two looks are probably my favorite, although it is so very hard to chose. Enjoy!
