It’s time for falling prices (but not for long!)

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, the unofficial mark of the end of summer for me,

is in full swing, but only until Aug. 6, at which point all the sale tags will be unceremoniously yanked off the clothing items, and the bigger numbers will be here to stay.



Go ahead, buy that sweater — just don’t wear it yet!

It’s time for falling kids (oh, man, we hope not!)

Boys and girls ranging in age from 4 to 20 can get a chance to trip up and down the catwalk at the SuperMall Back to School Fashion Show, Aug. 25. 



The SuperMall will conduct a model search for the event on Aug. 15, with registration at 3 p.m., and with the search itself beginning at 4. As an added bonus, 25 lucky teens between the ages of 13 and 18 will be selected as “SuperMall Trendsetters,” giving them a place on a fashion and marketing board. Guest Services at the SuperMall has all details.
