Back to School: Backpacks

No back to school week would be complete without the number one Back to School item: Backpacks. 

There are tons of backpack makers out there, but I'm going to direct your attention to a brand that has been loyal to me for over seven years, JanSport. 


I've had the same black backpack from JanSport for over seven years now. It has traveled the world with me, literally. When I traveled abroad it was there. When I travel across the country it was there. On my first day of college it was there. My backpack and I have been through a lot, but it has survived it all along with me.


If you are in search of a reliable backpack I recommend JanSport. They have simple solid colors plus stylish and wacky designs. This company has a bag to fit every occasion and personality. 


I have the Big Student Backpack by JanSport, which will you buy?

Back to School: Wallets

Going back to school means spending money. Money on lunch, books, parties, movies, fees, tuition, among others things. Why not hold your cash and cards in a stylish wallet that just may make you smile as you buy an expensive school book. 


I'm in search of a new wallet and these are the four contenders.

• Royce Leather Euro Commuter Bifold Wallet at Kohl's $50

• Royce Leather Bifold Wallet at Kohl's $40

• White Otpic Print Fold Wallet at TOPMAN $20

• Mustard Zip Round Card Holder at TOPMAN $16

I'm thinking of buying the mustard wallet and leather bifold wallet. What are your favorites?

Back to School: Technology

Today is the first day of the semester for me and a lot of students across the country are returning to school as well. To celebrate another school year, this week I'm going to be sharing fashionable back to school items.

When going back to school this semester I brainstormed the top four items I want to add to my tech wardrobe. I tested these items in stores, but am still in the process of purchase. All four items are not only stylish and desirable, but will really make your school year more enjoyable and possibly easier.

1. iPad 2 - starting at $499

• I encourage you all to go into an Apple store and try them out for yourself. I plan to purchase one in the near future or talk someone into buying it for me as a gift. These are great for on the go computer access and are easily stored and light to carry. Plus they have amazing colorful cases you can switch out to coordinate with your days outfit.

2. Flip video camera- starting at $79.99

• I had a chance to use one for a day last school year and I fell in love. They are having an amazing sale on the items and I am seriously considering purchasing one this week. They are great for the quick video and are easy to upload to your computer. Like the iPad 2 they come in different colors and designs to help you stay fashionable.

3. Amazon Kindle- starting at $114

• This is a great e-reader that is light and have different color options and the ability to purchase books on the go. It can also save student money when buying book because eBooks are usually cheaper than the hard copy.

4. Cannon PowerShot- $159

• This is great for capturing different moments of the school year and sharing with friends on social media sites. Plus they have tons of colors and are small enough to travel easily.

Make your school year a stylish tech one and purchase one of the items. Do you have any favorites from off the list?
