I am not sure why they call our newest merchandise delivery "pre-fall." It is summertime, and there is nothing fall-ish about the temperatures or the styles that we are unpacking right now. (Although I did just pay an invoice for some suede and leather pants, but that is a post for another day.)

Right now, we have some great new things from our favorite summer lines, Ulla Johnson and Xirena. We have the perfect dresses for casual outside gatherings, the pool, and all the summer weddings that are happening this year. Once again, no longer can anyone say we don't have enough dresses; our racks are full of a great selection. We also have some new summer suiting from Veronica Beard and sets from Hunter Bell, and our newest addition to The Hive, Apiece Apart.

Someday soon, we should be unpacking a huge order of Golden Goose in case you need a great sneaker if you are headed on a European vacation (and I swear, it seems like all of Alexandria has headed across the pond this summer).

All these great new arrivals are just in time for you to use your coupon if you filled out your Help the Hive Thrive survey as well. Thank you for all your great responses. We are going to put all the information to use to make our stores an even better place to shop. Remember, the discount (if you were one of the folks who filled it out) is only good through the end of July, so get shopping. If there is something you see in the Lookbook that hasn't arrived yet, let me know, and we will make sure to notify you when it arrives. Happy summer, I mean pre-fall.
