I, Too, Love Autumn!

"I like spring, but it is too young.  I like summer, but it is too proud.  So I like best of all autumn, because its leaves are a little yellow, its tone mellower, its colors richer, and it is tinged a little with sorrow.  Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor of the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age.  It knows the limitations of life and is content."  -Lin Yutang

Ah, I, too, love autumn!  The vibrant colors, the lush textures and warm fabrics celebrate the season in grand style.  According to Brandon Holley, the Editor in Chief of Lucky magazine, the "overriding message this fall is not girly, cutesy or frilly...the look is womanly, mature and tasteful."  Metallic sheens, sensational stripes, and animal prints are once again moving to the forefront.  Tammy from FL Crooks & Co looks forward to the loose and silky effects, the high waisted pants, and the real jewel tone colors of the season.

What's new for Fall 2011 at FL Crooks & Co?  For starters, how about UGG boots for children, in 6 different styles.  After a brief hiatus, 525 America is back.  We have 525 America sweaters in 3 styles - V-neck, turtleneck, and crew neck - in a variety of colors, priced under $50.  The North Face for women and girls has been moved to the back of the women's store while the Men and Boys The North Face continue to occupy its former space.   Formerly known as Cloud Nine by Tresics, the brand is now know as Tresics Femme.  Michael Stars features some new looks including the off shoulder dolman sleeves, the funnel neck, and the poor boy ribbed long sleeve turtlenecks.  Miss Me has some fun, embellished tops.  The faux fur vests and coats by BB Dakota add to the lustre of the season.  We are offering some Margaret M leggings to go along with our assortment of this fine trouser line for women.

The men are excited about the Thomas Dean spread collar shirt in various prints and stripes.  Men continue to rave about Haupt shirts, more beautiful than ever!  We have the LEVI 527 in a new wash, 0191, Light Blue also know as Field Light.  Moreover, we are now carrying the LEVI 559, the Relaxed Straight Leg Jean in Dark Blue (Blue Frost) and the LEVI 569, the Loose Straight Leg Jean in Dark Blue (Open Rigid).

My hefty Vogue magazine arrived yesterday announcing "Something for Everyone! - 758 pages - The Fall Fashion Extravaganza."  And that's the way it is here at FL Crooks & Co.  Something for everyone - For inspiring fashion - FL Crooks & Co - where you never looked so good!
