Dreams really do come true

Remember when you were a little girl and you played with paperdolls? I don't believe any little girl really created elaborate stories from playtime with paperdolls - it was all about the clothes! I remember picking out paper doll books and looking at some of the most outstanding clothing for dolls - I was so jealous! If only, I thought, I could just send these drawings off somewhere and they would be made in my size - I'd be the happiest girl in the world. Take one look at this new clothing line, and you would think a little girl's dream came true!

Allison-Taylor, the extraordinary designer and owner of this amazing new line, has a keen eye for color and layers, and how the two work together. This season she juxtaposed a summer palatte with gunmetal grey, white, khaki and marine blue. Her 2009 collection presents a collection of wearable silks with 1930's bohemia and post-war glamour influences.

This racerback blouse below, named Megan, has wide straps and is hand-detailed with a false button and a contrast trim. We layered it over her "Bridie" dress, but you could pair with wide-leg or skinny jeans or pinstripe crop pants for some fun and different looks!

The "Bridie" dress - an empire line strappy dress with kick pleats and bows. Darling!

We wanted to save the brightest for last. Introducing "Dahlia" - our gorgeous orange silk smocked band dress/skirt with hand-detailed pink straps! It feels as great as it looks!

We can't wait for you to take one (or several!) of our dream girls home!
