fast week ... IT'S FRIDAY ... it was 100 degrees plus everyday! isn't it hard to justify buying fall clothes when it's soooooo hot outside. i think the fashion industry should revamp when they roll out seasonal merchandise ... IF they want to make profits. there's no reason why stores in certain locations should have fall/winter clothes right now! by the time you're able to wear the merchandise it will be marked down 50% or more. if you're smart you will wait to make any purchases. don't get me wrong it's good for the consumer, not so good for the company. i'm simply making an observation & stating my opinion. have a safe & happy weekend ...

DESERT HIGH


j.crew macalister wedge boot $198 vs. gap suede wedge bootie $79.50. i've seen this type of boot popping up every where & it's in one of the hottest colors for fall ... CAMEL! will you be sporting a pair of these booties?
