This giveaway is open to US residents only since there is no Kohl's Canada at this time. Comments must be posted by 12 noon ET on Wednesday August 17th to be eligible to win. I received a back-to-school press package from Kohl's earlier this month. The decision to host this giveaway was my own.

Comfy and casual-cool, Splendid's rugby stripe top is $65. The look for less can be yours for $14.80. Can you guess which is which? Click either image below to find out.

I just recently started using an online dating site, and will be going on my first date. We'll be going out for coffee in the afternoon. I'm very nervous and have no clue what to wear to make a great first impression. I'm 23, and I live in Chicago. The weather here has been [warm] and sunny. —Caroline

When going on a first date, you want to be yourself, be comfortable and be approachable. Now is not the time to test drive new styles or trends that you wouldn't normally wear. You also don't want to come across as trying too hard - just be yourself!

Here are three outfit ideas that I think would work well for a first date at a coffee shop in the afternoon - opt for natural makeup and a good luck charm (for example, wear your favorite color, a meaningful pendant or a light spritz of your favorite perfume) for a little added boost of confidence.

In case you needed another excuse to shop online, Saks Fifth Avenue is launching a flash sale site, www.saksfashionfix.com. The inaugural sale starts today at 12 noon ET and will feature apparel by Elizabeth & James. Saks FashionFix offers merchandise from one designer for a limited time up to 70% off to its members (membership is free, you just need to register before you can shop). The green E&J military jacket pictured above, for example, is regularly $395 and you can scoop it up for today on sale for $158. This move on the part of Saks clearly speaks to the continued popularity of flash sale sites - and traditional retailers are scrambling to keep up with the likes of Gilt Groupe, or alluring "clubs" like JewelMint. Do you find these sorts of sales irresistible? A big waste of time? Both?

Not sure if you've seen Friends With Benefits, but Mila Kunis wears this super long skinny gold chain with a lightning bolt charm on it throughout the movie and I need it!! I'm not in love with the lightening bolt but in my quest for the right chain they're either too thick, too cheap looking, or not super long like hers. Help and I'll be forever indebted! —Samantha

According to Coolspotters, Mila's character Jamie wears a Lightning Bolt Necklace by White Trash Charms, which I found for $170 at PatriciaField.com.

Update: Mila's exact necklace is NOT by White Trash Charms, but by Lizzie Scheck and retails for $790. (via Possessionista)
