With the temperatures still hitting the 80 degree mark, it’s hard to imagine trading swimsuits and sandals for scarves and jackets. Once Labor Day passes, cool weather will breeze in, in full force, and blazers will quickly return as a favorite fall necessity.

I’ve spotted this fantastic striped, crested Ralph Lauren blazer twice and it is just so adorable. While I have striped blazers and crested blazers, I’ve been manically searching for the best of both worlds. Ideally, I would waltz into Ralph and walk away with this very blazer, but that would break my college budget… even though I would be the best dressed college student in the library. Instead, I might be ultra crafty and search the town for crest patches.

I snagged my mom’s issue of InStyle over the weekend, and though I’ve been faithfully reading the mag since ’98, I have never enjoyed a copy quite as much as this one.

They revitalized the layout, from the table of contents to the back-of-book, and I couldn’t put it down.

I dog-earred everything from a Q&A with Mary Kate Olson to a trendspot on plaid, my personal favorite is a style profile featuring the Gossip Girls. With the much-anticipated second season premiering tonight, it is not only timely, but also tempting enough to make me click through Shopbop in search of Blair’s adorable ballet flats.

Happy Labor Day, Everyone!

Can you believe summer is over already? Already?!? It’s so hard to say good-bye to lazy days, summer love and easy style (think shorts, sundresses and bikinis!)

But fall is full of promise and excitement, too. Cozy textures, rich colors, jeans and great boots. Not to mention structure, freedom from the parents for at least 7 hours out of the day and a chance to sit next to your crush in class. Ahhhhh…

There’s lots going on here at Teen Style Lounge for fall, too. Namely:

• Brand new contests, the first of which will be coming at you this week!
• A regular feature called “Weekend Reading Assignment” where I will suggest great works of young adult fiction to read over the weekend in between cramming for tests and cranking out homework.
• The return of Beauty Tip Fridays, where the simplest beauty tricks make for a gorgeous you!
• And, of course, all the style advice and fabulous finds you can handle!

If there’s anything YOU want to see featured here at TSL in the coming months, drop me an email (or leave a comment here) and let me know!

Enjoy your last unofficial day of summer! =) All hail fall!!!

Just like the mag she’s carrying, High School Music 3’s Ashley Tisdale is totally InStyle!

Perfect for Back to School or weekend, Ash is sporting a whole bunch of trends in one look, and she’s doing it well (luv the new hairdo, too!!!)

WTG, Ashley!
