Back To School
It's September already?! Guess that means, it's time for some back-to-school talk. I've rounded up four must-haves for a trendy start to the school year.
1) The Classic Backpack:
The Black Canvas Daypack, by Alban, is made of water resistant canvas and features a minimalist design with 70's retro inspiration. This spacious pack is a fabulous choice for students - whether it be high-school, college, or even graduate students, such as myself. Inside the pack there is a a laptop sleeve, pen/pencil slips, and a small zippered pocket. On the outside, the pack features two long side pockets, and a conveniently placed zippered phone slot. At the end of the day, this daypack allows you to travel to and from class, with all your belongings, in style, for a reasonable price. In fact, Alban is having a flash sale on their Etsy shop, bringing the backpack down from $80 to $68 US dollars!
2) Affordable Apparel:
If you're looking to update your wardrobe with fashionable staples for this upcoming school year, I seriously suggest checking out RubyClaire Boutique. I scored these awesome frayed cut-off shorts and camo jacket that I have tied around my waist. What's more is that together, the two pieces are under $70! RubyClaire does an amazing job at curating collections of fashion-forward apparel for affordable prices!
3) Designer Jewels:
What's a cute outfit without a little designer pizzazz? But I know first hand that on a student budget designer jewelry may be a hard to come by. Luckily, Rocksbox has our back! These guys offer a monthly subscription of designer jewelry sent straight to your door (return package/label included and all). Use what they send you for as long as you want, then send it back for a fresh batch of jewels. My current box came with this Kendra Scott necklace and these House of Harlow earring, both of which I'm obsessing over! Rocksbox is even offering you guys one free month when you use my code: besttrendsforlifexoxo. Give it a try; what do you have to loose?!
4) Trendsetting Eyewear:
Last but not least, lets talk shades. Polette Eyewear is my absolute favorite place to shop for fashionable frames, and I'm hoping it'll become your favorite too! While today I'm sporting the non-prescription California sunglasses, Polette also offers prescription lenses for any frame. So to celebrate the new school year, Polette Eyewear and I are hosting a giveaway and here's how it works..
We're giving away TEN discount codes that provide 50% off your choice of frames + lenses (including prescription lenses too)! That means ten winners! And all you have to do is the following..
