July 4th is officially over.....and I'm sad.  When we were young we always went to the beach [ Pawleys Island and then when we were older Daufuskie Island ]  for a week over the 4th and I remember that when we came home I felt such a let down.... and it just became a lazy summer! Of course things are a little different now that I'm an adult.....I have plenty to do this summer with 2 showhouses and clients.  In fact I keep thinking that in November I will breath a sigh of relief when everything is over and life is back to normal! So what do I have for you today?  Well more fabrics from companies that you might not be familiar with.  I'm always here to feed that insatiable quest for the perfect fabric:) First up is a new collection from Michael S Smith and I think you are going to like it! I love everyone of these.... Thoughts? Next is from Peter Fasano .  These are all so fresh and...

Holy Smokes.....I started looking for cute summer dresses and I was amazed to find that most sizes were already sold out! It's like if you don't buy your summer clothes before July 4th.... then you are out of luck. I was specifically looking for dresses because now that we are in the high 80's-90's everyday it can just be too hot for jeans.  I gotta be honest I am not a huge dress person....but I have bought a few this season and I might be a convert:) Here is my roundup of what I found....something for every occasion! This number from H&M could be the perfect dress to wear to a summer wedding. Same with this one.... Another one from H&M This one from Forever 21 is so adorable....and priced right! A little more expensive from Nordstroms but you could add a belt and give it a little   pizazz!  I'm not sure of the quality of this from Shein but for 12.00 I'm sure you could get one or two wears out of it!
