If you're looking for a roomy, comfy, affordable handbag for back-to-school with an "It" bag vibe, Urban Expressions is a brand you should know. You can find this Los Angeles-based company's stylish, modern collection of handbags and clutches at stores like DSW as well as online at Baghaus.com, FashionFlairs.com and FashionBliss.com. Urban Expressions has been featured in People StyleWatch, Life and Style, Cosmo and O, The Oprah Magazine, so you might be familiar with some of their designs already! Most bags are priced under $50 at Baghaus, and under $70 at DSW, but as always, look for sales and sign up for the DSW rewards club (if you aren't already a member).

Alexander Wang's highly-coveted black leather moto vest, as seen on the S/S 2009 runway, costs a whopping $1,036 on sale at Satine.





To get the look for yourself this fall, try this faux leather moto vest by Xhilaration, just $19.99 at Target.

When I shop at Kohls, I usually hone in on the Simply Vera Vera Wang and ELLE collections, but I received some images from the Mudd Fall Lookbook which I thought I'd share in case there are some Mudd fans out there. This juniors label is a great source for fall plaid, denim, and tees at really low prices. If you're a fan of pricier labels such as Lucky Brand (sold at Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and Macy's) which has a similar boho, peace-signs-and-seed-beads aesthetic, you might want to check out Mudd for some affordable looks-for-less, too, especially their jewelry, scarves and other graphic tees. Any thoughts on Mudd?
