Here it comes...

I hope you are taking advantage of all the great summer sales that are ongoing and don't forget about Nordstrom's fall pre-sale.  Get them now!

More fall fashion is coming into the websites and the print mags, though it is difficult to look at wool and cashmere when it is over 100 degrees.

But there are beautiful pieces - lots of menswear influence.  Pants are back in all shapes and forms and therefore the pant suit.  I swore I would never wear one again... but I am tempted when I see what Armani, Max Mara and Proenza Schouler have to offer - very inspiring.  Of course, my choices will be at a lower price point but at least, I know what to look for.
