Styledash Giveaway: Winner of the Jawbone Hands-free Bluetooth Headset

Congratulations go out to Jaynee, the winner of last week's Styledash Giveaway. She will enjoy using her new Jawbone Hands-free Bluetooth Headset:

1) Driving. [I'm in California, so that's an obvious one.]
2) Coffeeshop-ing. [I'm usually on my laptop with 50 million things going on @ once - I need both my hands and I'd prefer not to spill coffee on my laptop, thanks.]
3) Purse digging. [Female that I am, I'm too fond of big bags for my own good. That rummaging with the phone-between-the-ear-and-shoulder thing really isn't doing anything for me.]
And last but never least:
4) Shopping. [Enough said.]

She sounds like a gal after our own hearts, and now she'll be Styledash stylish while chatting on the phone!

Backpack to school

Backpacks. What's up with that?

We don't recall having to carry a backpack in elementary school, but we do remember having to walk uphill to school, both ways, in the snow. Seems like we would recall a backpack.

Times have changed, and much to the delight of chiropractors everywhere, kids are carrying twice their body weight to school and back, albeit on snow-free, relatively flat surfaces.

This is what they're using:

Why aren't you wearing this? Triple Yolk Necklace by RetiMade

As you undoubtedly well know by now, we love interesting pendant necklaces -- something big and bright and fun can make any outfit enviable. And so, it's no surprise that when we saw RetiMade's Triple Yolk Necklace, we were in love.

Why aren't you wearing this? Lightweight Gauze Scarf

It's only August, and already we're seeing Hollywood's hottest stay just a little hotter with lightweight scarves, so now is the perfect time to pick up one of your own. However, unless you are exempt from budgetary concerns (and lucky you, if that's the case), we don't see this as an accessory you should splurge on. In most parts of the country, it'll only be useful for a short time -- by the time you really need a scarf, you need a warm one, right?

Fall clothes for hot climates

Pair a heavy skirt with a light and airy top

If not boots, at least keep the shoe subtantial

Dark, opaque tights help your short skirts span seasons

Those of us who live in warm regions face the same challenge every fall -- so many hot new trends come out, but for the most part, it's just too hot to wear them! Sure, there might be a day or two in December or January during which we can wear a wool coat without sweating to death, but most of us aren't going to blow our budget buying items we'll only wear once or twice a season. But still, we want to step into fall fashion -- what to do, what to do?

We have several suggestions that will keep you looking hot but feeling comfortably cool. Those of you who live in colder climates might be able to use these suggestions early in the season, but for some of you, these will be ways to look seasonal until spring!

Dior launches luxury $5,000 mobile phone

Joining the Chanel fishing rod, and the diamond-studded digital camera on the list of ridiculously overpriced luxury goods that do nothing special at all, Dior has unveiled its $5,000 MyDior cellphone. Dior's luxury phone boasts a touch screen, camera, and a Swarovski crystal face plate. Apparently, the phone is targeted specifically for the Russian and Chinese markets (where people throw away their hard-earned money?).

Dior is teaming up with French tech firm ModeLabs Group to produce the couture handset, of which they expect to sell 10,000. Wow -- that's an easy $50M. Aside from Swarovski face plate -- which we agree is a nice touch -- the My Dior phone only offers one other unique feature: a tiny micro-phone that allows you to leave the Swarovski-studded handset in your pocket. We have no idea why you'd want to leave a $5,000 designer phone in your purse/pocket. Think we'll stick with the technically superior and less expensive status symbol -- the iPhone.

Gymboree is one of the biggest names in quality clothing for children, so it should come as no surprise that they have a great catalog of school fashions (and Halloween costumes- yes, already).

Gymboree has fun and playful couture for kids that are fun and playful. Convenient, don't you think? Like many of the other popular retailers of kidwear they understand the value of the the classics, and as such build upon them. The result is a solid line of timeless clothing and clever accessories.

For example:

Angry Little Girls - Back to school for the bad attitude set

Some of us think High School Musical is stoo-pid. We hate that hypocrite Hannah Montana, and you know where you can stick Camp Rock. We would rather eat glass than use stationery with any of their dumb mugs emblazoned across the front.

But hey, we still love back-to-school supplies! Thank the dark heavens for Emily Strange, Skelanimals and our new favorite: Angry Little Girls.

Thanks to these five misanthropic girls, a certain kind of kid can eat her lunch in peace, glowering in a corner while filling notebook after notebook with detailed thoughts about pushy math teachers, overbearing jocks and one very special boy in art class.

Even if you're theoretically too old for back to school shopping, it's worth looking. Something feels so right about using an Angry Little Girls (solar powered!) calculator to pay bills and balance our checkbook.

Admit it -- you're totally not over Blair Waldorf and her crazy/awesome Gossip Girl trends. You love that she always has a frou-frou headband and you're dying to wear one, too, but you're not sure where to get the best one for your buck. We can help you.

The Children's Place is a one stop destination for the shopping parent of school-aged children. Hence the name.

They carry everything from shoes to underwear and everything in-between. Their clothing is cute and classic, sticking to seasonal influences more than those of pop culture. The result is a timeless quality that will look great on kids now and their younger siblings later.

Why aren't you wearing this? Women's Grosgrain Ribbon Belt

Filed under: Accessories, Why Aren't You Wearing This?

Belts can do so much more than just hold up a saggy pair of pants. The right belt can finish an outfit. It can create a waistline. And, it can make a boring outfit trendy, classic, or, in the case of this belt, preppy.

Back to school: Keep those gadgets stylish and safe

There are few things sadder than a scratched up tech toy. Students of today often have to tote around more than just a couple of books and a Jansport, and it's important to keep those extra goodies protected from the bumps and scratches of hectic school life. Just a wee bit of prevention can go a long way. Really, once you get that hardcore scar across the front of your super-shiny Macbook after accidentally skimming it with your bracelet-decorated wrist, you'll be sorry you didn't read this!

Why aren't you wearing this? Juicy Couture Slouchy Newsboy Beret

Filed under: Accessories, Coiffure, Why Aren't You Wearing This?

Most of the time, we don't really want anything we're wearing to be described as slouchy. We did the slouch sock phase, and we're happy to be well past it, and sure, there are slouchy sweaters, but in all honesty, we prefer something with a little more fit.
