dallas | hometown hero.

locavore lore says you should get your sustenance from your surroundings. but what about your wardrobe? one dallas darling's out to make sure that your closet has some down home design, too. with her super cheery prints and cute-as-a-button cuts, sariah is sure to add some fire to your look.

the dallas native's earned fans in hollywood (kerry washington wore her sunflower yellow skirt) and now you can get a piece of this fashion wunderkind's collection, too. sariah carson's work is as individual as it is incredible, each print is hand-painted (just check the tag for your limited edish number) and every item is unique. she drapes and cuts her own patterns and every single piece gets her thumbs up before hitting production. and it's all made with the best of the best, natch, like silk and cashmere working together for dresses, coats and separates. her latest line's full of sheers, cinched waists and ruffles, but she's still going strong with bright colors and whimsical patterns. these pretty sariah pieces are sure to last you from spring's warm-up to the last days of an indian summer.

now that's local color. sariah. available at barney's new york. 8687 north central expressway. at northpark center. 469.221.4700. www.sariahnyc.com
