Hand Crocheted Bracelet, $15, harrietandleo.com

Fit To A Tee!

Follow the trend and help put an end to poverty! This popular design is part of OmniPeace’s global mission to end extreme poverty by the year 2025. The tee, made of eco-friendly materials, directly benefits the charity, so you can do your part to help bring peace to Africa. Pair it with jeans for a casual vibe and dress it up with fun tribal accessories.

Junk Food Black Tee, $26.50, omni-peace.com

Whether you're going hippie or just plain cool, you're bound to turn a few heads with this fun tee while you're out of school. And here's some extra credit: delia*s will donate a portion of your purchase to the World Wildlife Fund.

Tie-Dye Panda Tee, $26.50, delias.com

As part of H&M’s new “Fashion Against AIDS” campaign, Yoko Oko designed this bold tee. You don’t have to be a huge Beatles fan to understand the message behind her shirt, which has “Imagine peace” written across the front in countless languages. So show that all you need is love this summer! This top, available in tons of fun colors, not only works with any outfit but reaches out to others with a powerful message.

Imagine Peace Tee, $16.90, hm.com

It's Sneakernight

So when you head to the mall for some back-to-school shopping, go (red) with your Chucks or spread the wealth online where you can customize your Converses with your own design!

i need help! nobody wants to help me protect the planet some people help but not my friends!

Hey babe,

I've been in a really similar situation so I can tell you first hand that you can only do so much to help people change their minds. The important thing to focus on is that what you're doing to help out is making a difference and even if you can't convince them, you can convince other people and lead by example.

i have alot of World Wildlife Foundation and i'm a tree hugger alot of people tease me about and call me names like sappy and mother nature what should i do?

Hey girl, ignore those comments! What you're doing is right and whoever calls you those names should know better. Protecting nature, the world we live in, shouldn't be something to tease about, but something to follow! Don't worry about a thing. <3 Jeannie

How can i find pictures nd stores to help me find a better look?????
I am kinda skater nd preppy together so how can i find a good look for meee????

Hey girl! What I actually do is I keep an "inspiration book" where I cut out pictures from magazines that I love and tape them into the book (well, it's a journal ). I use these pics as inspiration for when I buy clothes and put together outfits to create a better look for myself

Hey, I am having some friendship problems. You see, my BFF is the kind of person who is really wealthy, and gets everything she wants. She is always going on shopping sprees, she is always geting her hair done, she wears a ton of makeup, and she flirts like none other!! She never keeps my secrets, and she lies to her parents, and to me. She basically just thinks she is the best person ever. I liked her and everything, but now I can't stand her. It's almost like a competition, since all the boys like her instantly just cause how she looks. My mom and some of my friends don't like her either cause of how she treats me. And whenever we go places, she gets mad if I talk to other people, so it's hard to make other friends. This friendship, obviously, is not working out. How can I stop being her friend without hurting her?? I really don't want to be her friend anymore!! Please help!

you've gotta be confident in yourself, and just start separating from her! i think the best way is to just slowly grow apart. find some girls or boys that you, alone, want to be friends or get to know and invite them to join you at the movies or for ice cream or a movie marathon. you'll both be making new friends~

MODMODMODMODMODMODMOD!!! I am trying to earn some big bucks over the summer to get a lot of new clothes for the ninth grade. The thing is is that I don't get allowance, my parents think I'm too young to get a job, and they won't let me babysit!! How on earth am I going to get enough money by the end of the summer??

Hey Girl, try talking to your parents again and see if there is a way you guys can compromise so maybe you can earn your self some new clothes by doing things around the house if they dont want to give you cash each week. *Cara T*

hey- i need help finding a good color of nail polish. the problem is that it seems that every color of nail polish is some sort of pink or red. i need a bright and fun color tht goes well with anything and isnt too girly... can u help me out??

Hey girl! I would suggest checking out your local drugstore (like a CVS or Rite Aid) and heading over to their aisle with nail polishes. There, you'll find tons of cute shades that won't break the bank! You'll be bound to find something there!

yesterday i bought a pair blue skinny jeans. and i got one shirt that goes with it. its a black shirt with blue on it. but i dont know what else i could wear with them.

Hey Girlie, Any white, black or gray shirts would work for a more basic look. Depending on the shade of blue you can try pink, purple or peach for a more bold statement. XOLori

i have an eleven hour flight coming up and i dont know how to keep occupied on a plane. any ideas? thx!

Hey babe,

Music is a great way to go. You can also bring a book or a magazine (or pick one up at the airport) or some crosswords or sudoku... If you can nap, that's the best way to kill time!
