Tips

SALES abound!  You can still find that bathing suit, airy sundress and perfect summer sandal.  But it won't last long,.  The stores are filling up with new Fall merchandise.  Fun gift items are on sale too - beach bags, cute towels and flip flops are half off in many stores.  Put them away in your gift closet for that next gift giving opportunity.     

If you need jeans to do double duty with your flats and heels, try  Hem Gems.  You attach them to the bottom of your jeans, tuck up the cuff and snap into place.  They are $20.00 for a pack of 8.  Check them out at hemgem.com.

Please ignore the suggestion of wearing DENIM with DENIM!  You do not want to be caught in a Texas Tuxedo!  I don't know who comes up with thesse trends!

An easy way to punch up a classic look and make it fresh and modern is with a Bright Bag.  I love the Fall Collections from Chico's and J.Crew.  This cute yellow bag is from Talbot's and retails for $149.00.

Kids off to college and in need of Storage Containers?  Check out the cute storage collection at www.thecompanystore.com.  Prices range from $20.00-$50.00.
