We know that it is hard to imagine cool nights, fire places, and hot beverages in the middle of the day given our steady triple-digit weather. As one of our friends put it the other day, “40 days until the first official day of Fall! In Arizona, there are approximately 80 days.” The upside is that another couple months of flip flops, sun dresses, and perhaps a few dips in the pool aren’t really all that bad–an extended summer vacation much of the country doesn’t get to enjoy.

And yet, for us fashion lovers who are pining to wear layers and cashmere sweaters it is less like vacation and more like torture. So, is there a solution, a happy medium? Well, unless you can change the weather or take a trip up north, the only solution we have is to go Fall shopping anyway!
Our reasoning:
1. Shopping makes us happy.
2. There are likely items we love now that we won’t be able to purchase later.
3. Fall wardrobe shopping is the best shopping.
To get you started here are some Fall fashion trends you’ll need to look out for.
