Here we go, here we go, satellite radio! It’s back to school with the lot of them. Some new trends and preferences from my three kiddos below:
Teenfluential:
- Giant Purses are the new cool school bag. This bag is a discontinued style from Namaste (made for knitting). We found similar bags at TJ Maxx
- Skinny jeans still going strong. My teen’s legs get longer every time I look at her. Which is why I am so glad that there are such inexpensive jeans at Forever 21
- Ruffles & Feathers make everything better. We found lots of clothes with ruffles and jewelry with feathers at Charlotte Russe
Girlfluential:
- Sillybandz! They took a while to catch on but now that they have, we’re up to our eyeballs in these fun shaped rubber band bracelets.
- Camis from Justice. A tween girl cannot have too many camis for layering
- Jeggings & Studded Jacket from Nordstrom Kids
- Rolling Roxy Backpack
Boyfluential
- Star Wars Sneakers from Stride Rite
- Mabel’s Labels (Note: We already “lost” a lunchbox today – hopefully not for good as it was labeled!)
- Polos from The Children’s Place - economical and super soft, this is an easy to wear school day staple
Disclosure: We received shoes for review for back to school from Stride Rite. We exchanged a pair that did not fit and ponied up a little extra for the Star Wars ones. We’ve also received some Mabels Labels for review, but it’s hard to remember now whether these were them. We’re stuck on em! All opinions are my own, in that my kids are minors and I own em’
