Just because summer is drawing to a close, it doesn’t mean you need to ditch your fab summer glow and banish all your tan-enhancing products to their train-case storage. In fact, there’s one place that might have been neglected by your bronzing beach days—your lips! While the idea of a tan is certainly summery, the bronze-y shimmer of this Too Faced Lip Bronzer is completely fall festive. The tropical flavors and scents may have you nostalgic for poolside days of your recent past, but the three pretty golden-based shades and skin-soothing conditioners never go out of season! Plus, as a compulsive buyer of all lip gloss, especially shimmery versions of natural hues, I can’t help but be on board for this sun-kissed take on the nude lip!
Price: $17 each

I popped over to the Karen Millen boutique last week to check out some dresses and fell in love with this Karen Millen ruched silk dress ($299). This fall, it’s about going bare without having to really go bare—find a dress with a sheer top or sleeves to give just a hint of what’s under. For more slightly sheer looks, try Elizabeth and James’ gauze t-shirt dress- it’s a sophisticated spin on a casual classic. Alice + Olivia’s embellished dress is just that, with sheer panels, lace, and rhinestones adding to the mix. Click over to Coquette for more sheer dresses and other fashion and shopping finds.
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!
Want to get paid to recycle your electronics? It’s so much easier to do the right thing when there’s a cash bonus being dangled in front of you! You may not know it, but electronics like cell phones and laptops leak lead, mercury, and other icky stuff into our trash and water systems. That’s where YouRenew comes in! Started by college buddies out of their dorm room, YouRenew coaxes you into going the extra step to recycle old electronics for some cash money. Search through their site and find the electronics you’re trying to ditch by answering a few quick questions about the basics for your item (Does it turn on? Do you have the charger?). It then analyzes the data and tells you how much they’ll pay for it. Print out the pre-paid shipping label and send it away (aka: make room for that fancy new iPhone!) and they’ll pay you via PayPal! YouRenew will then either fix them up and resell them, or send them to their recycling partner. Some examples of what you can get back: a working 32GB iPhone can get you up to $396, and up to $20 for your Harry Potter box set of DVDs. Log on the YouRenew.com and see what you can get for those old electronics you have lying around!

Hellz Bellz has finally launched their much-anticipated new Fall collection, “Style Warriors,” now available at Karmaloop.com.

Watch the slideshow to check out the collection, then cop your Hellz at Karmaloop.com!
Wrinkles? Where? Fine lines and age spots? You don’t say! As we age, our concerns about what our face looks like continue to be at the forefront of our daily thoughts, do they not? But instead of dreading the anticipation of going under the knife when the time comes for a drastic change, maybe we should be doing something to help prevent it in the meantime. Dr. Scott Wells at Park Avenue Plastic Surgery believes in working against time, instead of correcting the signs of aging once they have already arrived. His comprehensive beauty and age management program aims to slow down the aging process, so wrinkles and age spots are prevented. Where do I sign up?! Click “See Video” to check it out for yourself.
Personally, I’m so excited that “Mad Men” has started up again. Aside from the great plotlines, the show acts as a beautiful reminder of what I love about vintage dresses—the idea that we should dress for every occasion. Okay, I realize that it’s just a TV show, but my grandmother would say that it’s how she lived her life—in style. Maybe it runs in the family. Anyway, as much as I like vintage dresses, sometimes I want the modern equivalent: sexy, well-presented, yet with immaculate details. Montreal-based designer Valerie Dumaine perfectly quenches these cravings, with mid-century silhouettes with shorter hemlines and contemporary elements. Her new fall collection is available now, and with price points in the $125-$150 (US) range, you get unique dresses with a vintage modern twist. My favorites are the Cairo Tulip Dress, the Ines Pencil Skirt, and the Jean Pencil Dress! Once you’re done browsing, don’t forget to head over to The Coveted for more vintage fashion done modern!
As a sometimes-careless girl in her early 20s, I’ve had my share of laptop mishaps. Crashed hard drives, soda spilled on the keyboard, freak accident involving a burst rain pipe (most of those just weren’t my fault!)—name a computer-related tragedy and it’s likely I’ve experienced it. And since I’m far from wealthy enough to be able to afford a replacement laptop every time something goes terribly wrong, I’m not about to take my chances when it comes to my battle-weary notebook getting stolen. The solution? Make it look like a piece of junk with this Undercover Laptop Sleeve! Made to look like a crappy old envelope, the waterproof sleeve is actually quite heavy-duty in its protecting qualities with its tear-proof padding, yet its disguise is something thieves won’t even give a second look! Just make sure you don’t bring your incognito laptop with you to mailroom—accidentally shipping it off to China is one thing this sleeve can’t protect against.
Price: $29.79

Jeans always get front and center when it comes to icons of American style. But everyone knows the silent star is really the T-shirt. Where would James Dean, Marlon Brando, or Michael Jackson have been without the super simple, super sexy white t-shirt? There are several elements that elevate the standard tee: color, graphics, fit and, most importantly, fabric. The latter is what makes Market tees so amazing. The recently debuted line believes in simplicity. So they limit their collection to a variety of plain, cotton t-shirts that still manage to be infinitely comfortable and sexy. Drew Barrymore, Blake Lively and Lindsay Lohan have all been snapped while wearing them. What drives them to the brand is what will make you fall in love, too: buttery fabrics, rainbow colors, and the perfect fit. We got to test-run these tees and got more compliments than we can count. They’re perfect paired with jeans and sneakers or a chic mini-skirt and heels-- and the prices are equally attractive at $24 to $35. Click over to our friends at The Frisky to check out Market’s latest styles and colors and find out where to buy them online!
Color blocking and tried and true solids are great for numerous occasions, but cosmic powers have stated that prints are the way to go! Prints add interest to an outfit and are a good way to show your personal taste and style. An all-over tribal print dress really makes a statement while a printed scarf is a subtle nod to the trend. Prints and patterns are all over the place from runways to retail stores and are offered in a wide array of looks that either add a sweetly feminine spin or show trendy hipster style. Florals, ethnic prints, polka dots… they’re all cute, but not every print works for everyone! So while that floral print skirt looks great on your best friend, you may be more suited for a funky tribal pattern. With all the options out there, how do you find the time to try them all on? Let the stars guide you to the perfect print that flatters and shows your own unique fashion sense. Check out the slideshow and see what prints you should try this week!
Hemlines are getting shorter, but so is the distance that my dollar will go! I love mini skirts because they’re sexy and feminine and make legs look a million miles long. High-waisted minis are a sophisticated spin on a classic, and micro-minis flaunt it with no apologies. Crazy patterns and eye-popping colors make a unique statement while denim versions are youthful and classic. Mini skirts are not only totally hot and super femme, but they’re also incredibly versatile. Throw on a casual tee and some cute flats or sandals for a laid back, girl-next-door feel, or vamp it up with a daring top and sexy stilettos and watch those heads turn! Worried about the cooler weather coming your way? A pair of opaque tights or funky leggings are all you need. Be a real trendsetter and pair it with sexy thigh-high socks and a sweater for added warmth! With all these great mini skirts to choose from and the endless possibilities of mix and matching, it’s hard to choose just one to add to your repertoire. Check out the slideshow to see some minis that are easy on the eye and even easier on the wallet!

While we’ve thankfully moved past that ‘90s flashback of fluorescent clothing and accessories, it’s important to note that neons haven’t been banished from the planet for good—they’ve just relocated to the beauty department! I know, the idea sounds terrifying, but used with the right shades and a subtle hand, bright pops of color are an emerging makeup trend that’s making feminine features stand out in a feisty, fresh and modern way. While trying to shed her goody-goody Gossip Girl stereotype and make a name for herself as her punk band’s frontwoman, Taylor Momsen has been spotted flaunting neon lips and smoky eyes—but you don’t have to be a rock goddess in training to pull it off. Sticking to one feature at a time, you can go with an electric blue eyeliner to make your peepers pop, or highlight your summer tan with contrasting tangerine nails, for example. Take a look at the slideshow for some wearable neon shades!
