    Chucks Never Go Out Of Style!

    It's really strange to go out now and see that Converse Chuck Taylor high-tops are still being worn by school kids. I think of Chucks as the shoe that sort of defined Generation X, and to see that they're still so popular is kind of nice. Chucks are great because not only do they look cool, they can be adapted to go with just about any casual outfit, and to say that they're comfortable is the understatement of the century. You even see some people pushing the look to the limit, wearing their Chucks with formal wear. There's really no end to what you can do with these shoes. The good thing is that these days, you can get Converse Chucks in all the standard colors, but also in some interesting new styles. So whether you're into classic looks, or rule breaking, there will always be a pair of Chucks out there for you. Click over to our friends at TheFind for more on these cool kicks!

    Now that school has started and you've worn all your new outfits and caught up with old friends, rehashed summer memories, and compared schedules with classmates, the excitement of starting a new academic year has probably worn off. It seems like papers, quizzes, and reading assignments are the only things to look forward to now. Wait? Isn't homecoming right around the corner? I remember the fun chaos that went into planning the perfect night of the biggest school dance of the year (well, except for prom) and plus, it was a school function that let's you stay out past curfew! Sweet! So first things first, you need to find yourself a charming young man to take you, figure out a ride (is it going to be his mom's Oldsmobile, or is there a limo in the mix?), then there's the hair and make-up, and last, but by far not the least ... you need to find the perfect dress! The thing is though, this is a high-school dance after all and not your wedding your planning so you may not be looking to blow your entire budget or have your parents take out a second mortgage to find the ideal gown. Let us help you find the best dress for you on your budget! And as long as it's cute, anything goes these days from traditional floor sweeping gowns to higher hemlines so click on the slide-show to see some great ideas!

    Growing up, I remember school supply shopping and positively begging my poor mother for folders adorned with Lisa Frank creatures, smiley faces, or other such nonsense. My mom would always shoot me down though, aiming for the classically primary-colored notebooks, folders, and pencils. Now that I'm older, I can see why, but it sure is fun to look at some of these retro-inspired school supplies! How cute would this brass pencil can look on a chic Parsons-style desktop? And I love these librarian-themed notebooks from etsy seller erinzam. And my baby brother who just headed off to college is going to love this Rubik's cube alarm clock. Check out my slideshow for other great retro school supplies!

    Go Back To School (Or Work) WIth A Stylish Backpack!

    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.
