Back to School: Picking the Backpack

Back to School: Backpacks by lyndseycamille featuring JanSport

Whether you're in high school or college, Back to School time is creeping up fast! For me, I have always wanted to carry the cutesy, small backpacks advertised in magazines; however, they could never hold my laptop and textbooks! So, to keep a cute look and strong back, try using a Jansport backpack. I always purchase and recommend Jansports because they have a lifelong warranty/guarantee and offer a variety of colors and styles. Below are a list of my favorite backpack style for the studious and chic student:

1. Jansport Superbreak: This fuchsia colored, Superbreak backpack called my name as I was looking through the backpack options at Marshall's this past weekend. Since I like to wear a lot of printed outfits, I knew I wanted a solid colored backpack so I wouldn't be a clash of patterns. This bag is specifically designed to carry your entire life: laptop, textbooks, water bottle, lunch bag, and more. This bag is perfect for someone in college who needs all their items while on the go! 
2. Jansport Florals: I am in love with the subtle florals and muted grey coloring of this backpack. This backpack is average-sized, meaning it will carry your essentials, but not as much as the Superbreak. I recommend this bag for high schoolers or anyone who doesn't carry an abundance of textbooks. 
3. Jansport Buckles: This backpack could be considered unisex in my books. I love the buckle accents that give ordinary black and brown colors just enough pizzazz. Plus, the bag is longer the typical backpack which allows more space for laptops, books, and binders. 
4. Jansport Right Pack: This bag has a beautiful color and print scheme that will calm anyone down. This bag is perfect for protecting your items because of the thick leather and suede bottom (it also won't gt very dirty down there!) This backpack is also only a bit smaller than the Superbreak!

Whatever you backpack you pick for the school year, make sure it fits the essentials (education is a must-have!). Also, using a too small backpack can and will result in back, shoulder, and neck aches; not good! Be sure to look online for the best deals in backpack and to check out every print and style option available.

Back To School Confidence

Shay Mitchell

Being confident is very important especially when your going to be making first impressions on your teachers, making new friends, going to a new school or even starting off in college! All you need to do is stand tall, smile, and try greeting people you do and don't know. Coming prepared will also help to make you feel more cofident just because you know that you have everything you need. Having a planner marked with all your important dates and your backpack filled with your supplies will take a load off your back for the entire year! School confidence will come naturally if you maintain a postive attitude with your peers and teachers, stay prepared, and just have fun meeting new people!

What do you do to gain school confidence?

Back To School Beauty

Amber Stevens

Back to school make-up should be kept simple, there's no reason to go too over the top! Amber Stevens is a great example of how to use make-up to enhance your features and get a nice glow that will last all day. Amber even paired the look with a chic bun complete with two wispy hairs on the side. All you need to recreate the look is foundation (if needed), pencil eyeliner, mascara, a nude lipstick and gloss, and a rosy blush. As for the hair you may need a sock bun, a ponytail holder, and a comb or brush.

1. Begin with a clean face and apply concealer and foundation if needed.
2. Start with the blush and apply it right on the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards.
3. Take the eyeliner and line your waterline very lightly. Make a medium-sized line right by your lash line. *Adding a cat-eye will give the look a bit of drama.
4. Apply the nude lipsticks and add some shine by applying a gloss on top.
5. Pull your hair up into a ponytail and pull your sock bun through. Be sure to secure the bun so it doesn't fall off!
6. Pull out two strands of hair and even curl them for an even more feminine look.

Rock this look if your all about a fast, easy, but chic and cute look for back to school!



Fashion 101: What's In?!

Combat and military inspired boots are in for all trendy ladies right now. The boots work for both girly and edgy looks giving them a tough but chic touch. The trend has been seen on the runways, celebrities, and even in the school hallways. So if your looking for a new winter boot, try out a pair of combat boots in a dark black/brown color to go with everything!
