Let me be your Diane von Furstenberg personal shopper!: La Movida: Part II

More arrivals from the gorgeous and elegant La Movida collection!

La Movida (or as I call it, the Barcelona collection) Part II

I was just in Barcelona this past March and it was such a wonderful, vibrant and stylish city, full of great architecture, food, design and art. Diane seems to have been similarly inspired, because this fall's La Movida collection is as fabulous as the city that inspired it. She has several new prints, both classic and modern, as well as many new silhouettes in solid colors.

This entry showcases some of the original pieces, as well as a few more arrivals from the La Movida Collection; I've kept most items from my earlier post in this one, if they have not gone on sale. Check the original post, below, to see which items are on sale.

DvF has several new prints, both classic and modern, as well as many new silhouettes in solid colors. These are just some of my top picks from the new collection:

*Personal Style Note: I never realized how much the two layers in front on a regular wrap are a godsend -- they help to camouflage tiny imperfections! While the backwards wrap is stunning, the downside is that there is only one layer in the front so every little bump and seam is visible, even with a thong or Spanx. Just keep that in mind when ordering...*
