With our past record of Today’s fixes including knee-buckling handbags, envy-inducing shoes, and chef-worthy cookware – this today’s particular Fix proved to be a splash-making departure from the rest.
So on a 90-degree day, our photographers ventured off location and staked out a sunny spot in a Rue associates’ parents’ backyard and let the good times roll.
