We know, these are the three dreaded words no student (or teacher) wants to hear-- back-to-school (but it's music to most Moms' ears). But a pair of new shoes will certainly make the transition a little easier, so here are some fashionable footwear styles, including gladiator sandals and colorful cowboy boots, from  Harley-Davidson Footwear  that will put a spring in your step from late summer into early autumn.  That's right, Harley-Davidson doesn't just make boots for bikers, anymore. And get this, new for fall the expanding brand has a collection of work-ready flats. Brightly colored leathers, ornate embroidery, uniquely distressed treatments and just enough H-D attitude combine to create the Western Collection, featuring Emma-Lee Tan, Emma Lee Blue, Loreley Green, and Jesse Black (not pictured). Each season, H-D Footwear does a limited run of sandals, including Leoine, a strappy gladiator sandal. Check a  H-D store near you to see if it's still i...

I love being a blog ambassador for Aerosoles. With a new style to try out each month, who wouldn't? For June, I picked out the low stacked wedge gladiator sandal, Yet Another , in tan (the trendy style also comes in black and olive green). The shoe stands out because of the three contrasting buckles on the leather upper.  To be honest, when I first tried the shoes on, I wasn't sure how comfortable they would be mainly because of the location of the buckles.  But when I actually wore them to work, they were surprisingly easy to navigate the hard city streets in.  And each time I wear "Yet Another," the better they feel. Aerosoles' Yet Another./Photo from Zappos The shoe's comfort factor is due to the Heel Rest Design that distributes weight towards your heel and away from the ball of the foot, and the Diamond Flex Sole absorbs impact and disperses friction and weight. Yet Another is way too modest a moniker for these signature sandals.  But onc...

From the maxi to the mini, frilly frocks are what every girl wants to spruce up her summer wardrobe.  For the latest summer dress styles, Everything She Wants  checked out Dots , a trendy bargain fashion chain. Most of the dresses I spotted at the new Dots store at Mondawmin Mall in my hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, were super cute and a steal at only $22 or less.  With my Dots gift card in hand, I scooped up a long sun dress with an earth tone, tie-dye pattern that's perfect for my next Caribbean summer-getaway. The store also offers plenty of trendy accessories and I snagged a pair of Ray Ban-reminiscent Wayfarer sunglasses on sale for only $3.99! And if you're in the market for summer sandals, Dots has gladiator, thong and wedge styles galore, all nicely priced from $10 - $22. So the next time you need a little affordable retail therapy, look for a Dots near you .

I'm looking forward to the movie adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's bestseller Eat, Pray, Love . I love the real life story of how the author quit her job and embarked on a year-long journey around the world after a painful divorce, another breakup, and battling depression.  I'd like to finish reading the book before I see the movie so I can judge if Julia Roberts' portrayal does Gilbert's story of self-discovery justice.  But a more realistic goal might be for me to see the flick and do some shopping inspired by Roberts' travel savvy style. Here are a few globally chic accessories every well-heeled travel gal should pack to get the "Eat Pray Love" look: A flowing, ethnic scarf like this one by Satya Rai . A sturdy and stylish pair of gladiator sandals like these, on sale now at Amazon.com. A packable straw hat like this one from Scala Collezione . A roomy Moroccan straw tote bag like this one by Traders and Company. Photo credit: A...
