When fashion meets first aid
We know it may not be the most appropriate time to bring up our fall wardrobe seeing as it's the middle of July and all we can think about is air conditionning and swimming pools (neither of which we have access to). But since the majority of retailers have entered into sale mode (not that we're complaining!), we feel it's about time to start planning out our purchases for the upcoming fall season. Normally, we're not organized enough to start shopping for winter clothes in August when the fall merchandise first hits the floors. Instead we subscribe to the "Buy now, Wear now" theory, meaning we only buy when we know we can start adding it into our rotation immediately. That's why we picked the bandage dress for this week's hot pick.

The legendary Herve Leger first introduced the bandage dress in the late 1980's and for the past few seasons, we've seen the return of the bandage dress on such celebs as Victoria Beckham, Kate Bosworth and Hayden Panettiere. Under the wings of designer Max Azaria, the Leger label made a bold statement on the runways of Fall 2008 with the return of the bandage dress (average retail price $1250). We feel the bandage dress fits perfectly into our "Buy now, Wear now" philosophy. What other article of fall clothing can you wear when it's 90 degrees out and still have you feeling like you're wearing nothing at all?
