Jump start on resort fashions

We're just starting to adapt our clothing for the cooler weather, but the fashion industry is turning its attention toward resort wear. This weekend, fine women's clothier Moorea is hosting a trunk show in which fashions from the SYLA resort collections will be available at discounted prices. The show is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Moorea is located at 233 Laskin Road, Virginia Beach.

Children's fashion show to benefit local charities
