Christian Dior Spring 2011 Ads

Now that spring has sprung I'm already feeling the oppressive heat of an Ohio summer on it's heels. I refuse to run around dumpy, sweaty, and wearing Old Navy flip flops this summer. These Dior ads are just what the doctor ordered: divine inspiration to keep cool while still looking chic and fabulous. This runway collection was described as Bettie Page vacationing in the South Pacific. As the temperatures rise I will be relying on color, platform sandals, fabulous hair and a little bronzer to get me through the season.

I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world...

I'm a big fan of Christian Dior, I'm not gonna lie. Recently the line has had a direct line to my fashion funny bone and I always look forward to the resort(spring) collection. Last year we were taught how to wear lavender and leopard together, this year we are treated to a collection taken from the pages of Barbie's style book. Purple leather, pink mod dresses, floaty frocks and cupcake dresses round out the Resort 2011 collection. The clothing is classic 1950's and 60's silhouettes in princess colors--the effect is a little lolita, a little rococo, and very retro. I can't wait to see this stuff in stores next year.
