Most people think they own too much blue. We're not sure if this is some scientific fashion fact but we know we've heard it somewhere, said it ourselves, noticed it reported by others. Blue is a color people can get down with. Whether it's navy or cobalt, most people fancy themselves in some shade of blue and even if they don't, well, they probably own a pair of jeans after all. But yellow, well, yellow is the runt of that dysfunctional family we call The Primary Colors. Yellow, that is, is sitting in his bedroom writing chain letters while Blue is downstairs getting fifty dollar checks from grandma and grandpa. To that end, our network partner, Shoe Blog, has decided to befriend the little color that could, in spirit of a season where the fashion folk have opened their cold, thin arms to its spectrum. To which we say, why the hell not. We own too much blue as it is.

Let's face it, your giant bag is weighing you down. Though it undoubtedly compliments the volume of your clothes in winter it's not exactly proportionate come silk blouse and shorts-time. In fact, the hotter it becomes (and less you wear) the more mismatched does your oversized bag feel. In our little A.P.C. mailer today, we bumped into their summer '08 purse, in that perfect variant of lemon yellow, sweeping the S/S. We think the size, though a difficult move for those accustomed to a large bag, is perfect for the weightless habits of summer. We can already picture our lip gloss, wallet, and cell phone slipping perfectly into it's round shape, our hair all tossed from the summer wind, our shoulders brown...oh, enough already. You get the idea.

Designers are banking that women's appetites for dresses remains strong for Fall 2008. Even if the economic climate isn't so sunny designers seem to believe bright day dresses will open their pocketbooks. And while we think it makes more sense to buy mix and match clothing for maximum versatility in a downturn sometimes we all need something to help get us through a sunny day. Nicole Miller, Lacoste, Erin Fetherston, Yigal Azrouel, Diesel and Marc by Marc all have their own version of the warmly colored day dress this season.
