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.
