Happy Birthday Betsey Johnson!

The high school girl in me will have always regretted not wearing one of your signature dresses for my prom.

2011 People’s Choice Awards

Ashley Tisdale in Farah Angsana

I haven’t rated looks in forever, but I might just start up again. I give this look a 4.7 because I am loving her resort-esque dress even during the winter time. The blend of chartreuse and pink in the dress help bring out her warm skin tone and are really quite complimentary to the entire look itself. She also gets points for doing the boho look without looking homeless hippy.

Betsey Celebrates National Pink Day

Yesterday was National Pink Day. Why weren’t we informed?!

Designer Betsey Johnson threw an extravagant celebration for the day by giving her garment district showroom a completely pinky makeover. The showroom featured only her favorite pink dresses and was covered in pink crepe paper. She couldn’t let her guests go hungry or thirsty either so Betsey served pink cookies, pink cupcakes, and best of all, pink champagne. Changing the lyrics to “Happy Birthday,” [yep, you guessed it] she replaced Birth with Pink and serenaded her guests leading friends and staff to join in as well.
