The Princess Diaries

Riser Goodwyn Fall Collection

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful maiden. She went to work every day, watched The Hills every week, and spent far too much on clothes and restaurants. The end.

Too bad life can’t be the stuff of storybooks. Because then we’d all be as charmed as Los Angeles-based designer and fashion fairy princess Rosetta Getty.

She was discovered by a modeling agent at 15; married a handsome prince (actor Balthazar Getty); had a gaggle of pretty babies; and launched her women’s label, Riser Goodwyn. Now the fair lass’s dresses are a staple on the red carpet.

Done gagging yet? Go get your hands on Getty’s ethereal fall collection — gorgeous construction, clean lines, and subtly retro shapes.

Standouts include a creamy leather coat, corseted houndstooth dresses, and a turquoise halter frock that’s so lovely you’ll have a party just to wear it.

Ensuring you live happily ever after that night.

Available at La Ree Boutique, 11 103rd Avenue Northeast, Bellevue (425-453-7868); Nordstrom Via C, 500 Pine Street (206-628-2111). To see styles, go to risergoodwyn.com.
