This time of year is so enticing to our all of our senses. We feel the air become moist and the sun warms our skin. Fabulous flowers release their marvelous perfumes and we can smell the ocean's vibrancy. We hear baby doves cooing and the soft sounds of palm fronds rustling in gentle breezes. The distinctive taste of summer fruit is so refreshing and that first bite of golden corn on the cob is delightful!
But of all of our senses, the profound joy of seeing the bright and joyful colors of nature's kaleidoscope...the flowering gardens, the different blues of the ocean, the wild array of hues of the birds, flowers and sun dappled vegetables really makes us focus on color.
Which brings us, of course, to the riotous colors of SUMMER FASHION! Gone are the winter drabs, the dusky grays, the earthy browns and the black, black, black. It's time to celebrate with COLOR and let it tune us up for the wonderful summer ahead! So, this newsletter celebrates the colors of summer in all of their glory...from a fashion point of view!

Perhaps the most wonderful color of all is white...the color produced by the combination of all the colors of the visible spectrum. What defines a summer day more than fluffy white clouds, dripping vanilla ice cream cones, the froth of a breaking wave, the gardenia's blossoms, the radiant bride walking down the aisle in billowing white?
This fabulous non-color sets off a tan, complements every other color and is fresh, unfettered and has thousands of hues! (surely you know that if you have ever tried to decide which color of white to paint your house!)
We have a wide selection of white fashions to start your summer off in perfect order!
First up, a superior selection of dresses
for your summer pleasure.
The perfect white blouse is often hard to find! We are fortunate to have a bevy of beautiful tops that make the angels sing!
Next, we have a variety of handbags to complement any outfit you may wear. The beauty of white is that it will perk up any solid color and pull together any prints in various colors! How about these limited edition, highly desired bags?
And the jewelry-again, it's no mystery why pearls are such a hit with almost every outfit-that velvet white color complements everything...including your skin tone especially when it sports the summer glow of the sun!

HONORING OUR WAR DOGS
WITH THE MEDAL OF COURAGE!
|
|
| | Lois Pope With Heroes at BOTH Ends of the Leash! |
It was with great delight that I was invited to Washington DC to the House of Representatives Building by Lois Pope and American Humane to witness Lois Pope, the Founder of LIFE, the Disabled Veteran's Memorial and the Medal of Courage Awards as she honored our nation's heroic military dogs this past month. What a heartrending moment as the handlers or adopted families brought their brave, dedicated and often wounded dogs up to the stage to receive the well-deserved K-9 Medal of Courage. These marvelous animals have saved thousands of our soldier's lives and allowed them to come safely home.
|
| Sally Honors
Our Military Dogs! |
At the ceremony many congressmen and women spoke and pledged their continued support for this terrific program and vowed to continue and expand the future care of our heroes on BOTH ends of the leash! A worthy cause and one that would love your support! Please contact the LIFE Foundation if you would like to get involved or donate to this wonderful effort.
