Sure, the summer solstice may be months behind us, and as I was alarmingly reminded the other day there is only 20 weeks until Christmas -- but that doesn't mean summer is over yet! Before we pack up our Havaianas and sangria pitchers for the season, why not step up our summer décor game, and end things with a bang? Or better yet a bargain?
Like in fashion, retail buyers are a pretty savvy group across the board and are always looking towards forecasting the next big trends in design and décor when selecting merchandise for their stores. Some things are welcomed with open arms by consumers and scooped up quickly, but it is the pieces left behind at the end of the season that are the real treasures to be found. It is these items, that were likely too trend forward for the masses that will be all the rage next year. Not only will you be able to capitalize on the clearance prices, but when next year comes around you'll be able to boast to all your friends as to how much of a style-savvy tastemaker you truly are.
Here are our picks for late season buys worthy of scooping up now!
