If you haven’t noticed yet, this has been one of the strangest winters in recent memory. Mother Nature has never been quite this fickle and it’s been difficult to plan what to wear around these parts. We never packed away our shorts, flip-flops and sweatshirts. In California, we’ve had very little rain – and our front lawn is very dry. It’s not unusual to see sprinklers turned on during the weekend on our street; chats with neighbors leave us all shaking our heads and shrugging our shoulders.

Fashion Week in New York may be over but the remaining buzz from a thunderous week is still resounding. Evidence of that is LIFE Magazine’s cover on the September 10 special edition, which features stunning 19 year old model Karlie Kloss photographed by Gabrielle Revere.

The Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is gearing up in New York City so we’re going to give the topic of IMAGE: Style and Fashion a jump start.
