Fall 2010

I am sorry for the long absence! I have received some emails and a comment from a new friend who encouraged me to post again... so here I am. I thought it was a perfect time to post the new trends from Accessories magazine, a trade publication. The department stores are having their fall sale so it is the best time to share the latest for the fall!
