Top 20 Trends of the Day

From Backstage Diva Photography to Back to School Essentials

— August 27, 2013 — Autos
The back to school essentials featured in today's top trends will hopefully ease the pain of trading in our sunglasses for text books. While going back to school means giving up our carefree summer schedules, it also means new style and accessories.

The MCM by PHENOMENON Fall/Winter 2013 Line offers students a chic method of transportation for their text books, computers and tablets. The line features a variety of backpacks and totes embellished with studs and rich autumn hues like forest green and black.

The Cloud Notebook features adorable, cloud-printed pages in blue and white -- perfect for the hours spent daydreaming in class. A fun notebook is an absolute must on a back to school essentials check list.

For more research and insight into youth consumer trends and autumn style, check out the 2013 Trend Reports.
