...people are all about autumn, but someone forgot to tell Phoenix that it's time to cool down. It's supposed to be 108 degrees today. Ugh.

So instead of wearing something like this

I'll still be wearing something like this

make a statement

Big, chunky statement necklaces are a staple for fall and can instantly take your ensemble from ho-hum to fabulous with just the click of a clasp. Pair them with your favorite jeans and a t-shirt or mix them into your work wardrobe for some punch to complete your look.

in the trenches

It's still more than 110 degrees here, but in my head - and in other parts of the country - we're just on the cusp of fall. And one of my favorite things about fall is the fashion.

I especially love coats and have cultivated a nice collection, especially for someone who lives in the desert. My favorite style of coat is the trench. Classic, polished, lightweight or woolen, trenches are always in style. And this season, they're perfect in camel or bright red.
