News from The Examiner

According to runways and designers such as Burberry, Mulberry and Christopher Kane, you can expect to see a lot of patterns, pants, lace, and military inspiration this Fall.

1. Lace: Lace is one trend that seems to never go out of style. That's great because I love crochet lace and that helps my designing business!
