Diane von Furstenberg Spring 2011

I am in love with DVF's Spring 2011 collection! Lots of bold colors put together--especially orange and purple. She has redone her infamous wrap dress which she is known for and the prices are set at for a reasonable budget. Most of her collection run between $100 to $500.

Black use to be my favorite color until this SPRING! 

I am so excited to be wearing colors like YELLOW, ORANGE, PURPLE, RED, etc. 

Here are some of my favorites (yes some since if I could I would wear every single purse man ever made!)

I am heading out to Saks or Neiman Marcus this
weekend to purchase this....it is BEAUTIFUL and so cheap too!

Chanel
I think the price is up now to $3,400 since they do price
increases every few months.
I absolutely love this...I always tell myself not to buy two-three
shoes or two purses and get this instead....but never do!

Diane von Furstenberg MUST READ Article!

One of my all time favorite designers is DVF

 Her clothes, shoes, and purses are so beautiful and affordable

(compared to high end designers) at the same time. 

As you may already know I religously read BusinessWeek and once in a while there are really good fashion articles. I actually just read one about Kate Spade and ofcourse this article on Diane von Furstenberg. 

Here is an excerpt from the article just in case you don't want to read the whole article (two paragraphs!)

"Growing up, I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I knew the kind of woman I wanted to be: someone who could decide her own destiny and pay her own bills."

"Building a company around a revamp of her signature piece—the wrap dress"
