Circle Of Friends
A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.
It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends.
But the treasure inside for you to see,
Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.
Today I pass the friendship ball to you.
Pass it on to someone who is a friend to you...
As my friend did to me.

Hot Trends for Fall
SEPTEMBER 4, 2014

The back to school frenzy is over, and we all know that means fall fashion is just around the bend. It’s time to put away those swimsuits, cover-ups and flip flops and find your way into the sumptuous looks of fall. Fall this year is trending a few perennial favorites, allowing you to blend last year’s best with this year’s hottest fall fashion trends.
Plaid is still all the rage, but with a more edgy urban look this year. No school girl or cowgirl plaids this time, but bigger and bolder, embellished with fur, leather, fringe featured in coats, capes, dresses, suits and sweaters. Oversized knits also remain a staple for Fall 2014, but those big cozy sweaters are paired with leggings and the belted sweater dress is still on point. Add a touch of class to nubby oversized sweaters by pairing them with flirty, feminine skirts and complementary scarves.
