Summer Fashion Forecast

June 1, 2010

Freshproduce1 sp10 Summer Fashion ForecastCOTTON SUMMER-WEIGHT JACKETS:  Perfect for those over air conditioned places like restaurants and theaters.  Check out the new stylish silhouettes with fun prints and embellishments.  Try one of our reversible styles – a cool tapestry on one side and a silky dressier second side.  Make this your summer fashion staple with our White Jeans and White Capris – and you’re set for anything.

EASY BREEZY COTTON COORDINATES:  Everything’s just beachy! We love mixing the hand-dyed batiks in pretty turquoise, blue and white from El Huarache with the fun patterns and solids from Fresh Produce and Organic Beach.  With just a few key pieces you have an entire wardrobe!  Tops, skirts, capris and sundresses.  Sizes for everyone from small to 3x.

BRIGHT COLORS AND COOL FABRICATIONS: Summer’s Best Handbags! Our summer bags go from small and compact for a day at the festival or an evening of dancing to larger meshes perfect for toting to the beach or park.  Great colors and metallics announce summer is here!

SCARVES: The must-have accessory for summer! You heard right;  scarves are your best little investment for summer.  Add them to a tee or tank for a fresh look.  We have so many summer weight scarves in hot colors.  One of our favorites – a beautiful yellow scarf featuring scenes from Paris.

SUNGLASS READERS: These come in handy when you’re dining al fresco and can’t read the menu. Great for the pool too. Bamboo Sunglass Readers are lightweight and highly stylish.  All readers available in 1.25-3.0 times magnification.
