Keeping Things Light and Fluffy

Today I am taking a little break from all of the innovative, respected, risk-taking designers, and spending my day with something lighter and fluffier. After browsing a little online I found three designers that caught my eye. As you or may not know I am a lover of all things girly, lacey, feminine, pretty, etc.- even after growing up with 4 brothers. The first of the three is Sretsis, who I have written about before. I last showcased their spring collection, but I want to share the fall/winter one, which is even as delicious as the last. Personally, I don't think the runway show does the clothes justice, and I highly suggest looking at the photographs on the website. (personally, I thought the best looks were toward the end.)








Heidi Merrick:












I am really in love with this collection. It's all things flirty and girly and the pictures are just as great. The only downside to this LA based designer? Don't the clothes look like they wouldn't be out of place in a J. Crew catalog? www.heidimerrick.com/

Fleur Wood:






Like Merrick, Fleur Wood has caught my eye with sweet silhouettes and feminine quality. Again, its nothing TOO special, but still sweet.

Designers are better when they're sisters

I first heard about the design label Sretsis (sisters spelled backwards) on The Fashionista Diaries when stylish Bridget wore an adorable dress by the label(left, I couldn't find a picture of Bridget wearing it) on the first episode. I loved the dress and mentally wrote down the designer, but forgot about it until now. While looking on Elle's best boutiques slideshow, I browsed on Milk and discovered they sold Sretsis clothing. This brought me to do some research, only to discover are plenty of more adorable clothes out there! Founded in 2002, designer Pim Sukhahuta, a Parson's graduate, created Sretsis with her two sisters. Pim became the head designer, creating girlish quirky pieces, with Kly, fashion marketer, and Martina, jewelery designer.

Looks from their s/s 08 collection, I love the quirky, vintage feel to each of the looks:
