This organization provides educational resources, offers free mammograms and funds patient navigation programs. Without them, many women would be left undiagnosed or on their own. Consider donating to their cause to help women everywhere.

They will be donating $2 of every sale of women’s City Streets Breast Cancer Awareness Shirts to support the cause. Stop by the store today to buy one of the shirts for yourself.

You know how crazy it can get if you wait until the last minute, so why not make a day of it and do your back-to-school clothes shopping early and enjoy a nice lunch at our food court before you head out in search of some of the latest fall fashions.

Animal prints are in!

While your shopping, keep in mind some of the latest fashions for the little ones for this school year. One of the latest styles on the street is animal prints for the kids! Whether it be zebra or tiger stripes or maybe even leopard spots, cute little shirts with a big animal face along with stripes and spots are the latest rage according to the fashion police. From big shaggy dogs to cute little rabbits, you can’t go wrong with an animal face on the front of the back-to-school shirts!

Worn Denim’s not going anywhere.

Worn and faded denim seems to be here to stay. So while you’re shopping for pants for the kids, make sure they have a trendy pair of cool denim jeans to start off the new school year in. You know the kind… the ones with the holes and ripped knees. They’re still in fashion and it seems that they’ll be here for quite a while. Skinny jeans, a comfortable cotton T-shirt, and some leather lace-up boots will make your kid fashion magazine worthy!
