It is never too early to start planning ahead towards the next season.  Designers are all ready on Spring-Summer'09.  So what are you waiting for?  All those great fashion threads for Fall '08 are being snapped up as you read this.  Time to plan your fall/winter wardrobe and what better way than to invest in some required basics.  A big Wedge shoe in black will take you miles.  Also, (finally) funky tights are back.  Keep the shoe a basic color and you could go mad on the tights. Corso Como makes a great black wedge called the "Dodie Wedge".  It is a steal at $169.99 on www.heels.com   Go for it before the ladies make there way back from their summer retreats!
