If you've finally broken down and decided to buy a coveted Apple iPad, the last thing you want to do is damage the thing! Sure, you could nab any old zip-around neoprene case, nylon travel bag, or even a plastic or rubber shell for better no-slip... or you could go more luxe with leather! The InCase Convertible iPad Cover makes your iPad look like more than just the latest toy or a glorified, oversized iPhone. It gives the gadget a more professional look (even if you're just using it to watch Netflix on your afternoon break) and helps protect from cracks and unsightly fingerprint smudges, while also providing a folded stand so you can set up your own hands-free mini screen! And at only $59.95, it's a small price to pay for a stylish upgrade for your precious iPad!

I love tote bags as much as the next person but lugging my laptop, lunch, and other necessities to work everyday has taken a toll on my poor right shoulder. So I've started using a backpack as my day bag instead. The only one I have right now is an old North Face backpack from my high school days. It's still fully functional, but I've been looking for something a little more stylish instead of looking like I'm going off to hike a mountain. Lucky me, it seems like backpacks have become a trendy accessory with brands and designers from Kate Spade to Juicy Couture making backpacks fit for every fashionista. While backpacks can be seen most often in school hallways, chances are you'll also find people using backpacks outside of school and work. They distribute weight more evenly than large shoulder bags and leave the crook of your arm to hold more shopping bags instead! Take a look at my slideshow to see some stylish backpacks you should carry around this fall.
