It's back to school time and we've got you and your kiddos covered. Kids will look cool with these super-cute backpacks and you'll look cool in this beautiful lace skirt and fun lip stain. Alarm clocks will be set early, so get some good sleep with this adjustable sleep mask. Plus, these sporty polarized sunnies are just what you need for that last beach vacation of the season.Amy: Everyone knows the best part of going back to school is shopping for school supplies. We've just added a variety of back-to-school items, including several stylish backpacks. Here are three Herschel bags we are particularly fond of, all expertly designed to be as functional as they are fashionable. (Available at Red Barn Mercantile, $50-$59)Ali: This is not your run of the mill pencil skirt, that's for sure. This deep red lace pencil skirt by Smythe is amazing for many reasons. Sometimes when I think of lace, I think of bulky and stiff. This skirt couldn't be more opposite as it's super comfortable because it has quite a bit of stretch. The red brick hue is everywhere this fall. It can be paired with camel, cream, brown, black or gray. Don't be afraid to throw a little animal print in there for good measure! (Available at TSALT, $495)Elizabeth: In case you are headed out to the beach or some other body of water, Krewe has launched a new line of sport sunglasses and they are all polarized. They still have there same sleek design, just a little sportier. (Available at The Shoe Hive, $195)Angela: Lip stains can be a tricky product. Most of the time they don't work or they work too well and you're stuck with a bright pink pout when what you wanted was a wash of colour. Clarins Water Lip Stain to the rescue. This stain is buildable so you can have a light wash or a bold lip. The choice is yours, but either way, it lasts a long time! (Available at Bellacara, $28)Celeste: I love a good sleep mask and sleep with one every night. Believe me when I say that I’ve tried well over a dozen different ones. Some are too tight, some loosen up with too much wear. This is my favorite one by far. Not only is it soft, the strap is adjustable so you can make it perfect for you. (Available at Kiskadee, $28)
