Though we're still in denial about all of this fall/back to school business, we can't ignore the fact that HQ Staffers Nikki and Pam are heading back to campus. Since we know you will miss seeing their lovely faces, we had them pose-off in their back to school outfits.  Pick the winner, guess which year they are each going into and someone will win a prize from our beauty stash.

Splurge: Alexander McQueen's Swarovski-embellished Double Skull Bracelet ($330) or J.Crew's Fenton/Fallon...

Fashion Television host Jeanne Beker will be launching her own clothing line, EDIT, exclusively at The Bay this September.

She's quick to state that she has not taken on the role of a designer - she's an editor. She took her pick of favourite pieces and altered them the way she would like to wear them.
