Betsey Johnson's Spring 2011 show started off with a video clip of Betsey riding a bicycle around Lincoln Center, followed by clips of Betsey and daughter Lulu teaching grandaughter Layla how to ride a bicycle, opening up the theme of the show. Models wearing 'RIDE ME' necklaces strutted down the runway, with the first few looks including bike caps and accessories and cyclewear.
What I love about Betsey Johnson is that there are always multiple themes in her show and something for everyone - gingham, rose prints, florals and stripes.
Here are a few of my favorite, wearable pieces from the show.
This floral dress on the right looks perfect for a garden party
These party girl dresses scream FUN, and are perfect for prom
I am digging the sailor theme with these fitted, double breasted blazers

At the end of the show, Betsey emerged on the runway, riding a bicycle. Betsey's show wouldn't be complete without Betsey tumbling into her cartwheels, which everyone always anticipates!
