Cynthia Rowley Resort 2012





I love Cynthia Rowley and all of her artsy collections.  Cynthia's husband is an artist and he painted the background for in the pictures.  This little collection is so brightly colored and perfect for summer.  I love the first dress, especially with the orange shoes!  XOXO, Allie

Modesty on the Runway: Christian Dior Fall 2012











The House of Dior is under the direction of designer Bill Gaytten and ever since he replaced John Galliono, I feel the collections represent a more classic Dior.  The emphasis on the waist paying homage to the New Look and the classic houndstooth pattern made abstract to give a more modern appeal.  Gaytten called this season's collection "soft modernity."  I definitely get a ballet/feminine vibe, which you all know I love!  Below are detail pics of the shoes.  I love that the front of the shoe looks like a ballet slipper, but then transforms into a lovely heel.


 Dior is my favorite when it comes to the big mama fashion houses!  Always classy and always fabulous.  XOXO, Allie
