Fillmore /Fall /Fashion......................

Fall is officially here and San Francisco is feeling the chill in the air ,whether we want to or not. As Debra has said I love fall and all it has to offer ..A great cup of Peet's coffee on an early
fogged in morning ,whether indoors or meeting a friend @ the Ferry Building !!

I know one must think I flew to NYC for the Runway shows...but actually I have been assisting
a manager of a resale shop in the city ,prepare for a Fall extravaganza in the familiar Fillmore
district of the city . Yes it has been a challenge ,because we are pulling outfits for various models
semi-professional , pacific heights residents ...young ,mature ,and established ..Also we are pulling a variety of outfits that reflect the shop and and the donations offered on a daily basis .
The event will take place on Saturday , Oct.3rd and there will be a 20.00 donation for wine and food tasting from the local vendors ..The streets will be blocked off for a few blocks and 2 members of The Fashion Project will be strutting their stuff ..Debra ..........Kenney and I will make you proud .!!!!!!!!!!Pictures to follow .

I have also been following the runway shows also...but I am not ready to cash in my bonds to
purchase that must have item .Those who lean towards the magazines , I thought the October
issue of Vogue was so uninteresting .After about a few run throughs ..I begin tearing out items
to add to my vision board...So, sad I haven't even got a paper cut . Oh ,yes do not subscribe to
W mag unless you have money to cast to the wind .

In the city...shopping at all the resale shops in San Francisco has been a parking lot !!!There are
throngs of shoppers of all ages .The most pleasant part of that atmosphere is to shop wisely,
because all sales are final .. Just a few tips ,begin to think out of the box..towards a purchase..
1) maybe just a change of buttons would help to update the jacket...............
2) check through the men's section for a possible down jacket that can fit /a large boy's size
3)hats are in big time...especially fedoras,bowlers..oh yeah they did have one good article on hats
in the recent vogue....a fine Hermes ...get it blocked and cleaned ,add a new band and you are in the loop !!
4) plaid shirts/black vests...I think you have the picture now .
5) Take along a list to keep focused and arise with a jewel........................

More to come ......along with an entry re; the American Designers Spring looks......................
