    We have about a month to go till Nicole Richie's Macy's collaboration hits stores — but today we're getting a first look at what's to come, as modeled by Miss Richie herself. The designer is also the face of her Macy's campaign. Shot by Camilla Akrans at Milk Studios in LA, Nicole shows off a tribal-print blouse, leather-trimmed tee, and studded skinnies. In short, when Nicole said, "I worked extremely hard with Macy's to create a collection that stayed true to my own aesthetic," she wasn't kidding — the collection is just what we'd expect from the style pro whose own blend of bohemian femininity and edgier, rocker-inspired styling is reflected in the printed maxi dresses and kimonos, leopard-print box clutches, and geometric jewels she already designs for her Winter Kate and House of Harlow collections, respectively. So, who better to capture the cool-girl aesthetic of Richie's latest project than Richie herself?

    Keep reading to see more of Nicole's campagin.

    Where academic success is concerned, you've got to walk the walk (or, in this case, dress the part) and talk the talk (go to class and study hard). While we can't guarantee you'll ace your first tests — although we hope you do! — we can help you put a sophisticated spin on your class-bound wares. One easy solution? The blazer. It's the perfect mix of menswear-inspired tailoring, clean lines, and classic preppy style, and more often than not, we're apt to conjure up images of our schoolgirl uniforms that came complete with this polished piece.

So we've culled the seven must-have styles that should be at the top of your back-to-school shopping list . . . because we also know you're primed and ready to be an academic (and sartorial) trailblazer.

    Look of the Day: Coming Up Roses

    It's not hard to see why florals top our list of Summer essentials time and time again — they're fun and super flattering.

    It's not hard to see why florals top our list of Summer essentials time and time again — they're fun and super flattering. Kudos to Fab reader KateOrwell for taking this trend to the next level with a chic digital print dress. Her accessories included a lime hued bag and sorbet heels, which lent to a sophisticated, yet playful vibe. To get a similar look, pair a floral print dress with color-complementing shoes and bag. It's effortless and polished, with just the right amount of pop.

    Congrats, KateOrwell!

    Everyone else, submit your looks, and we just might feature you on FabSugar!
