Just yesterday I returned from a little (and my very first - I know, can you believe it?) trip to THE New York City, and am only too excited to impart the knowledge I gained there to you, my fellow fashion mavens.
Because the summer is coming to an end (in the fashion world, that is - the fall lines are already out!), I thought it would be appropriate to give a heads-up on the fall fashions worth taking a look at and those that really aren't worth your time.

This was always going to be the most anticipated movie of the summer. But after January of this year, we'll never get to consider anything about The Dark Knight - from the opening weekend grosses to whether it will ever live up to any of the award buzz it's already garnering - without the grim question of Heath Ledger's death front and center.
