Summer is dwindling down beckoning the start of fall and school. So here are five tips on fashion and lifestyle that will help you get through another school year or fall season.
1.) Midis
One of the hottest fall trends will be these mid-length skirts. These skirts are perfect if you’re trying to achieve a fifties Mad Men-esque outfit. Try wearing this adorable midi from Express with a waist belt to elongate your torso and legs.
2.) New Music
As school begins to start in August and September some truly great bands are releasing new albums that you will want to add to your back to school playlist on your iPod. In August, they include the long awaited Beirut album The Ripe Tide and the Red Hot Chili Peppers tenth studio album I’m with You. In September, musicians releasing new albums include: St. Vincent, Girls, Bjork, and even Blink 182 is releasing a new CD years after breaking up.
3.) Long Socks
The past few years have seen a huge resurgence of stockings in all colors and patterns. They are perfect for staying warm in dresses and skirts but if you’re tired of stockings try socks. Wear either knee length or thigh length socks from stores like American Apparel for the perfect accessory to your fall attire.
4.) Lipstick not lip gloss
Typically when fall begins to usher in it means one can start wearing richer and deeper colors like dark purples and reds. This is especially so with lip colors and because lip gloss simply is not pigmented enough for dark rich colors lipstick is the best choice. A deep matte wine colored lipstick like MAC’s Hang-up is always fashionable in fall and winter.
5.) Poketo School and Office Supplies
Poketo is an online store whose motto is “art for everyday life.” They put upcoming artists work on everything from notebooks to pens to wallets. Some of their most creative back to school supplies include box tape adorned with art and an energy saving manual paper shredder. Check out all of their artistic endeavors at poketo.com.
