Back-to-School Blues

The month of August is that melancholy time of year in a girl’s life when she must cope with the death of yet another wonderful summer. I like to call it: “The Back-to-School Blues,” but luckily it’s a syndrome that can easily be mended with “The Back-to-School Shopping Trip.” Here are some of my 3 must haves for your Fall 2010 semester.

The shoes- Whether you’re going back to school or back to the office, a good set of heels will get you going in the right direction. These Kate Spade New York "Karmela" Oxford Pumps are perfect for prancing around the office or your school’s newspaper room.

The nails- Just because summer is over and it might be time to tone down that neon pink nail polish does not mean you have to go for dull nails. I love Sally Henson’s new color, Commander in Chic. It’s a rich mauve with brown undertones that will make typing up those last minute essays or editorials much more pleasurable.


The luggage- If you’re still carrying that same Jansport you had in high school, it’s time to throw it out for a leather backpack. It’s got all the convenience of a backpack but with the fashionable look of a professional student.
