Shop:
Ku De Ta is ushering in fall with lots of new clothing an accessories – not to mention their amazing denim section.  But as fall enters the scene, Ku De Ta says good-bye to summer with a 25% off sale on maxi-dresses.  Stylists tip: Just because fall is here doesn’t mean you have to put away your maxis – pair it with a denim or leather jacket.  Or even wear it with an oversized slouchy sweater for that neo-grunge look that’s big this season.
