If you're growing a little bit tired of the ladylike, structured designs that have been taking over the runways as of late, then you'll love the Erin Fetherston Pre-Fall 2012 collection.
While many other design houses are sticking with the '50s-inspired look yet again, American designer Erin Fetherston is taking a more whimsical, fairytale approach to dressing, and fans could not be more pleased with her aesthetic.
Flirty cocktail dresses in lace and floral prints are ultra feminine and perfectly complement the color palette of blush, champagne, pink and cream, with hits of black and turquoise here and there.
The super girly Erin Fetherston Pre-Fall 2012 collection is given an even more whimsical feel by models sporting messy side braids and embellished headbands for a modern-day Cinderella feel.
