Summer is heating up and with it comes the idea that you might have time to try certain things you haven’t yet. For instance, maybe you’ll make a dent in that pile of books you’d like to read or finally take the road trip you’ve not made. For some, it will be as simple as sprucing up the wardrobe with a new handbag, some funky nail art or a new pair of shoes.

One idea that has been thriving with my Grace Adele clients is color blocking. I had some run the other day pulling together images that accented the color blocking idea. How much do you love that manicure from a blog I love to look at called “Try My Hand?” The gallery on that site alone makes my head spin in a good way! The shoes made me happy because of the shiny red toes–who wouldn’t love to tap those under the desk all day? The bracelet is from the newer Lyra collection. So many gorgeous colors, but there is just something about red!

And, of course, the Grace Adele Sarah in Red handbag, Jane clutch in sand and various accessories would complete the look without effort.

I can’t believe it’s almost time for the list of discontinuing items to be published. On July 1, we’ll know what Grace Adele items won’t be carried into the new catalog and my clients will enjoy 10% off the current catalog. That’s ONE good thing about seeing favorites go. The other good thing is seeing room for new items to come into the collection! Cannot wait!
