I know It's the Middle of Summer, But . . .

     When I checked the mail this morning and found my September issue of Fashion at the bottom of the pile (thankfully unbent!), it was a quick reminder of what's to come. . .  Fall 2013!  There is something about fall fashion that I have always loved.  The layers, textures, colours and new trends help me transition into cooling temperatures without totally loosing it!

     The retail sale season is coming to an end as stores are now receiving new merchandise almost everyday.  Although we just started into August and have another 5-6 weeks of summer weather to look forward to, it is still my favourite time to shop!  I love being the first to see (and sometimes purchase) the latest items for the upcoming season.

     There are lots of new trends and must-have items to discuss so let's start with something I recently came across that got me extremely excited: Mackage's new line of handbags!  This will no doubt be the best fall season yet!

The Rubie Bag from WWD

The Bookie Bag from WWD

     The Rubie and the Bookie are my top two faves but the line is complete with 12 styles.  I love the combination of the smooth leather with the texture and colour.   The arrow closure is a sleek finish which suddenly states "It's a Mackage".  As for the price? I guess we will have to wait and see!
