Shhhhh........Listen.........Pre Fall Buzz

Just received an e-mail from Neiman's with their launch for pre-fall fashion. I loved it all, but my four favorite trends were as follows: Violet Femmes, Black and White, Leather, and Animal Prints. To purchase any of the clothing below visit www.neimanmarcus.com.

This stunning sheath by Jason Wu exemplifies the trend they refer to as Violet Femmes. A variety of shades of violet and plum play a prominent role in the pre-fall collections.

Our answer for the perfect accessory for this gorgeous dress in vibrant violet is our 48 inch Dwayne necklace. Fabricated of gunmetal, amethyst, garnet, gray pearls and chocolate brown shells, it is coming soon to Oak Hall, Memphis, Tennessee. Visit www.oakhall.com.

 Donna Karan can definitely pull off the ultimate in black and white! Her cocoon blouse with signature drapey black pencil skirt is a great example of unpretentious luxury.

We think that our Areli necklace with handwoven medallion will definitely rock this ensemble! Love the feminine loopy feel to complement the sophisticated, yet girlie vibe by Donna Karan. Now available at City Woods, Highland Park, Illinois, www.citywoods.com

The next pre-fall prediction from Neiman's is leather, still a stronghold in wardrobe building. Who better to exemplify this trend than the Italian master, Brunello Cucinelli! Love the subtlety in the color combination of navy, brown and taupe.

The only accessories you would need with Cucinelli's leather outfit above is an armful of our killer leather bracelets embellished with handwoven beading. Our Murphy bracelets are available in 8 different color combos at Frances Heffernan, Winnetka, Illinois, www.francesheffernan.com

Always a classic, animal prints are back, or maybe they never left. Lanvin's answer to this trend is this not so classic, drop dead gorgeous silk number. Meow!

Fight fire with fire, as the old adage goes. And these necklaces are quite literally from our collection named Fire! Either of our Katherine pendants with suede fringe would add an extra jolt of drama to this Lanvin silk stunner. Both color combos are coming soon to Kittie Kyle, Memphis, Tennessee,
