It’s a Pavlovian mystery of the fashion world, but as soon as summer clothes hit the racks, I start getting ready for fall. It doesn’t help that fashion shows and previews happen six months early, but really, fall is my favorite season for clothes, so…any excuse will do.

As you know, my love affair with Loeffler Randall is strong and deep, and will last a lifetime. But, friends, LR’s Fall 2011 collection is the equivalent of a 9-carat diamond bracelet…it’s making me fall in love all over again.  Seriously, it’s their best collection in ages, and definitely one of my all-time favorites.  The husband is going to have to freeze my credit cards in a block of ice, I fear.

And so, a little eye candy to get you dreaming of (and budgeting for) September:

Sigh. A closet filled with every one of these beauties is so my happy place right now.
