July is truly one of the oddest months on the fashion calendar. At a time when most people are thinking about barbecues, vacation, and flip-flops, July officially kicks off the fall fashion season. In fact, some stores have already been receiving their pre-fall collections for the last couple weeks. So, in preparation for the onslaught of gorgeous threads and accessories you’ll be seeing for fall 2012, here’s a sneak peek at some of the new lines debuting around town:
