The sight of new fall collections in stores rights now has me giddy for all things autumn.  However, I am trying to relish every last drop of summer because all too soon it will be gone and I will be dreaming of these hot balmy times complete with long sunshine-filled days, impromptu outdoor adventures, and last minute trips to the sandy shore (like yesterday’s trip to Malibu!)  I styled a shoot with Denise Crew recently that captured this feeling precisely– breezy, lightweight fabrics coupled with lively colors and fabrics made for an effortless summer look.  Perhaps this is what you will be sporting in August?
