by Chi Diem Chau

One of our favorite things about back to school is, of course, the prerequisite shopping that needs to be done before heading back to campus. While our college days are way behind us, we asked our two adorable NYC Summer editorial interns, Robert Khederian and Colleen Doyle, to share their collegiate must-haves list with us. Robert, recent grad from Williams College, prefers cool leather loafers and luxe totes, while Colleen, current student at Manhattan College, looks to fun jolts of colors and leather statement pieces. See each and every piece they're shopping for, then tell us what's on your back-to-school lust list!

Jennifer Garner promoted her new flick, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, in NYC in a navy-and-black leather paneled dress and black peep-toe mary jane pumps, both by Yves Saint Laurent. While leather paneled dresses are not new on the scene, Jennifer's look reminded us how chic and edgy the trend can be when done right. We also love Whitney Cummings's black-and-white leather paneled dress for a more dramatic effect and Khloe Kardashian's A.L.C. black-and-tan leather dress ($1,150) for a subtle approach. Depending on the color scheme you go with, leather paneled dresses can be worn everywhere from the boardroom to a fancy soiree. To get the celebrity-favorite look, shop our favorite picks below.

In the Army Now: Military-Inspired Pieces to Add to Your Arsenal

Fall's military trend isn't unlike the actual military; it's an age-old tradition, expertly skilled, and ready for anything.

by Brittney Stephens

Fall's military trend isn't unlike the actual military; it's an age-old tradition, expertly skilled, and ready for anything. From season to season, the utilitarian look can take on many forms — and between sharp, structured silhouettes, elaborate embellishments, and classic camouflage touches, designers definitely brought out the big guns for Fall 2012. The overall aesthetic was punctuated by crisp coats and capes with fitted trousers along with traditional military touches like epaulets, strong shoulders, and knee-high boots — all in a dark, moody color palette of khakis, blacks, and grays.

So, are you ready for battle? Click through for some runway-inspired examples of the military trend, then shop some pieces for your arsenal.
