Oh Hillcrest. I miss you. Since moving to Quapaw, I pine for you frequently. I miss deciding to take a two hour walk on a whim. I miss being able to run to Kroger mid-cupcaking because I forgot food coloring. Just because I don’t live there anymore doesn’t mean I would fathom missing the annual Hillcrest Harvestfest, that glorious gathering of all that is good and right. And because Harvestfest fell on Oct. 2nd this year, I suppose we can call this my first ode to October in 2010!
Like each year before this, Harvestfest didn’t disappoint. Taco truck? Check. Beer stands? Check. Box Turtle Fashion Show? Double check. My friend Summer was showing her collection (available for purchase at Box Turtle, btw), so I was there, camera in hand, to document her sweet, multi-hued dresses coming down the runway.

Love this blue dress with the bow.
I love the belted dresses, which were shown in both blue and pink.
Great detailing on this dress. Loved the cut outs around the neck.

All in all, I loved Summer’s collection! And not just cause she’s my friend (though it helps – LOVE YOU GIRL!), but because these dresses are feminine, flattering for anyone and totally, 100% wearable. A lot of them could be paired with opaques, boots and a turtleneck and worn straight through winter. If you’d like to purchase one, they are for sale at Box Turtle in Little Rock or by contacting Summer personally at danielsummer@ymail.com.

The cut of the shoulders on the blue dress that Katherine is wearing is to DIE. I’d be all over it. In fact, I doubt that thing is still hanging in Box Turtle. Someone must be parading up and down Kavanaugh in it already.
Oh girl there was a pink one just like it. Unfortunately, I failed at capturing a photo of Lydia modeling it.
