    We've been surfing our favorite sites looking at back-to-school fashion and we keep finding ourselves drawn to fun, Asian-inspired looks. becky oh!'s Japanese Retro Wristlet will add style to your wrist for $35 and can be found at What Designers. The bright, funky print is made from Japanese linen. If you want an elegant look, check out the designer Hairpin Flowers Silk Chiffon Scarf by Yosifa Silk - get it at Smashing Darling. And for just plain fun during the school day, you will want one of these handmade Fortune Tellers from Sycamore Street Press. And there are a host of fun totes and bags at Tokyomade. Check out ColorCult's Winged Tote, or the Vintage Obi Messenger, an original, hand made bag by Japanese designer Honmonoya. And Ichigo Seijin's Bento Box bag is pure fun.

    For many of you, school has already begun or will shortly, which means new additions to the wardrobe are necessary. Woohoo! But you don't have to spend a lot to update that 2008 fall wardrobe. Old Navy is a great place to get cute basics at super reasonable prices. Just pair these items (many of which are on sale!) with the trendier items/accessories in your closet for a brand new look. Here are a few pieces I found that'll be great for the upcoming months:


    Jeans: Jeans are obviously a wardrobe staple in every college girl's closet, but sometimes we need a little variety. I say that every gal needs a cute pair of khakis. You can wear them with a polo, a basic button down or a tee. I totally love the green of these ones. They're a little different, but still totally neutral so you can wear them with just about anything!


    Cute Tops: I'm really digging the cut and print of this shirt (though they also have it in solid colors if print's not your thang). But what I really heart about this tank is that you can wear it on its own before it gets too cool and also rock it under a boyfriend blazer for those chillier days.

    Laptop Add-ons That'll Have Your Notebook Back-To-School ...

    So you've picked out the laptop that will (hopefully) serve as your loyal lifeline through the four (or more) years ahead full of harrowing all-nighters and endless study sessions. Check. But is its just-out-of-the-box pristine condition completely ready for what it has in store once it's shipped off with you to college? It may be shiny and new, but is it really ready to tackle the long walks to class, the thousands of party pictures, and (gasp!) the spilled energy drinks? Maybe not, but with this selection of laptop additions, you and your notebook will be fully supplied and stylishly accessorized for both working hard and hardly working. Make sure you have a desktop cord organizer to keep all your tangled cables in check, for one, and don't forget to nab a sweet pair of speakers to lure the floormates into your room for your own dorm dance party (after your paper is done, of course). Check the slideshow for some back-to-school laptop loot!

    Back to school season, and all the planning that goes with it, is right around the corner and for many, the main concern is not upcoming classes, nerve-racking tests and potentially scary teachers. The biggest worry is what to wear! That first day of school outfit is important and can define who you are for the rest of the school year, especially if you're the new kid or an underclassman. It's important to be trendy, but not look like you're trying to hard. One must be an effortlessly chic fashion queen. The last thing you want to be known as is a geek! Or do you? What if the latest trend is a nerdy style and to show how fashionable you are, you're taking tips from what used to be the outcasts? Geek-chic is in so think rimmed glasses and loafers as the new staples and make room in your closet for a sudden influx of cardigans and sweater vests! The trick is to take the nerdy look and add subtle sex appeal with a few key accessories and some interesting colors and patterns. For tips and ideas on how to make the geek-chic look work for you, check out the slideshow!
