Foot Locker Cracking Me Up for Back-To-School

It's Back-To-School time on the Foot Locker Channel, and art class will never be the same:



This one is a favorite as my husband often works with the nude model in classes, and I just don't buy the whole "I'm looking at them as a subject" thing. I'm not talking jealousy, I'm talking how do you not discuss the, ahem, particulars amongst your classmates? Obviously I don't have what it takes to be a professional.



Now "Buttershoes" is a more sensitive topic for us girls. Who hasn't walked that uncomfortable walk at least once in her academic career? Ugh, if only we were just being judged on our ugly shoes! And I'd like to add that women do seriously underestimate the power of a great sneaker with the mens. I can't tell you how many times men have complimented me on my 34th Street Foot Locker kicks. I am not exaggerating: Girls, go get yourself a pair of cool sneakers if you're single and looking to flirt this semester. The video seriously does not lie. Go here, click on the Periodic Table, and find your sneakers at Foot Locker and Lady Foot Locker on 34th Street. That store has it all and more.

Going Pink at Lady Foot Locker

Make a difference and look good doing it at Lady Foot Locker this month. While you're shopping for great kicks for fall, be sure to pick up one of these cute styles that support Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the efforts of the American Cancer Society (ACS).


The long-sleeved thermals are $18, and $5 of this purchase goes to ACS. The recycled totes sell for $3, and pink string bracelets go for $2.50. And when you're done outfitting yourself, pick up a friend a specially designed "pink" inspired gift card in which 10% of the purchase goes to ACS.

Layer one of those pretty, graphic thermals with a boyfriend jacket or a jumpsuit, or wear it with your favorite denim, all while helping an important cause. And while you're at 34th Street's Lady Foot Locker, you know you're going to find the perfect pair of kicks to top it all off. That is what all those walls of shoes are for, right?

Back to Lady Foot Locker

Tempting fall pieces are now emerging in store windows (see Zara sweaters and thigh-high suede boots), but I still groan a little at the thought of buying sweaters in August humidity. And let's not even talk about this new Christmas-in-Summer promotion I keep catching wind of. It's just wrong.

Instead I'll get on the Back-to-School bandwagon with a little 34th Street Lady Foot Locker. Because suede thigh-highs aren't always practical on campus, it's important to stock up on some sporting goods basics.

Neon! Sick of it yet? Nah, true 80's devotees will never tire of neon. Here I like mixing the bright yellow (Calvin Klein Performance yoga hoodie, $39) with some bright purple Chucks ($50). Click and note the double tongue: fold it over for a little pattern detail. Love the plaid.

I made Kati pose with this green Nathan aluminum water bottle ($19.99, comes in several colors). Have you noticed water bottles are the new accessory round town? Plastic is over.

Here's the Nike jacket from above ($50), but worn with a black Under Armour shiny T ($19.99) and a little variety on the feet. Kati and I agreed the jeans need to be tucked into the hi-tops, as this = 80's Rock Dressing 101.

I call it a shiny T, but the Under Armour is really a heat gear training top. Still a perfect accompaniment for these Pony hi-tops (City Wings Cosmo Hi, $64.99). That light green and black retro metal pattern can only be described as "killer." I can think of no better adjective. Pay attention in English class, kids.











Then there's the classic Nike hi-top in grey and white and shiny (Air Prestige, $78). These shoes not only work the neutral grey trend but also mix up the texture with some sparkly silver. Chic, basic, and interesting.

My favorites? Well, I'd be wrestling those retro Pony's away from you Back-to-Schoolers. Hey, I don't need to go back to school to buy a great pair of kicks.
