Erdem Spring 2012 RTW

Erdem is a wonderful young English designer.  His signature is florals.  Flowers are a symbol of spring and I love that he used blue, even though blue isn't really a spring color.  The contrast between the flowers and the blue gave this collection a very dreamy, light quality about it.  The girl of this collection is young, but loves to try on older women's clothes; she's trying to be mature.  I'm a big fan of Erdem and his dresses, they are always so feminine and elegant.  XOXO, Allie

Rachel Roy RTW Fall 2011

I know this is Rachel's collection from last year, but its one of my favorites and so is Rachel.  I love this collection because of all the layers!  As I have mentioned before, I am all about he layers.  This collection also showed Rachel evolving as a design because she stated to do more casual day wear instead of evening wear.  XOXO, Allie

Rochas Fall 2012

I really liked how this Rochas collection mixed the jewel tones with neutrals.  My favorite look is the one with the glasses.  Very geek chic.  Like a stylin' librarian (hey that rhymes!)  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
