Designer Inspired Look: Christian Dior

Dior CDÂ’s recent resort collection was a sight for sore eyes this year. John Galliano whipped up a bright, happy palette, sending his gals down the runway in corals, sunny yellows, pinks, and lime greens.

IÂ’m a sucker for everything retro and this collection is what I like to think of as a Palm Springs dream in the swinginÂ’ 60Â’s.

I found tons of cute stuff on Topshop.com that reminded me of the gloriously bold Dior looks, but everything is in pounds, so itÂ’s a little pricierÂ…definitely a well-kept secret though.

Thanks for this.
I love that jumsuit and Shiap (the best vibrant pink ever!) polish. I adore the lipstick too.
