10th Commandment: August 22

Aug 22, 2011

It may be 90 degrees outside, but it’s Fall in the fashion world.  That means that it’s Fall on CHS.  I apologize in advance for the stifling thoughts that accompany suede, camel and wool.

Velvet and suede loafers are a big hit this Fall.  They are to Fall 2011 what they oxford was to Fall 2010.  And they’re an on trend alternative to ballet flats.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind
