What shop sells good school bags in Aus?

Rawr-Radic

I live in Sydney, and right now i can't find much in the way of a school backpack (medium size) Roxy and Billabong fall straight apart, Kathmandu go ratty and look lame, the real Hello Kitty is too expensive and the fake is crap.

Does anyone know where to find any good bags for reasonable prices that don't fall apart!? Thanks.

Answer
Be thankful you're allowed to bring any backpack you're allowed to school... I live in AUSTRALIA too, but I go to a private school the bag pretty much has to be a school one =[

I thought the Roxy and Billabong bags are really good?!
I've got two Roxy ones and I've put so much in them, and they are still in great condition.

Hmm, I'm not so sure... try Myer and Kmart.

tanx in advance lolz

and also are they gd 4 skool and is it the right size or too big

Answer
I do go with the second one. A lot of people use plain old backpacks at my school. The really preppy kids have tote bags though. And if I don't need a lot of books I use my fake quilted Chanel tote-ish thing.

Does this look like a decent school bag for a 15 year old ?

Wich bag do you prefer?

Rin

I want a new bag for school, but I can't decide between these two:

http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp?productId=0427_8018_600&catId=cat90052&_requestid=161361#BVRRWidgetID

In any of the colors!!!! I like white but what colour do you think is nicest?? This one is more efficient cos It has a magnetic button to do it up and it seems more sturdy I think. And it's cheaper.

Or

http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10201&storeId=13007&langId=-1&categoryId=12624&parentCategoryId=16409&topCategoryId=12552&productId=796046

I think this one look gorgeous but I don't know how big it is... Also a bit pricey
Please can I have honest answers and NO mean comments thanks. xx

Answer
I think you are right, the first one is better (AEO NYC CANVAS TOTE) and in the color CHALK (you called it white).

The second bag looks nice, but I think the first is a better choice, as you have said.

Besides the reasons you have given yourself (which all make sense), for the first bag, I think it's neutral colors and classic style might match better with more outfits than the second one.

What's a good bag for school?

Kayla

I don't want a backpack. I'm thinking maybe a tote bag kinda like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Andy-Warhol-LOOP-NYC-banana-stripe-handbag-tote-bag_W0QQitemZ110417491028QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:US:101

I just can't get this exact one because my best friend has it. I just like the size and stuff. Any suggestions?

Even if its not a tote, if you have a suggestion, just go ahead.

Pics please.

Answer
Hey
These are some extremely cute bags

Is this rolling backpack too nerdy for high school?

Q. I was wondering if it would be ok to use a jansport superbreak wheeled backpack in brown for high school, just because i don't want to strain my back so much, even though i know they can be nerdy...

Answer
mean kids have a tendency of kicking those. anyone i know who has ever use them hasnt used them long because some random jerk thought it would be funny to kick it.

Im all for homework, but do kids really use rolling backpacks?

lillilou

for school?

Answer
My son had one. We had a two mile, each way, walk. That's a long walk. He was in fifth grade and had lots of homework due to advanced classes. It was too long of a walk to have that heavy thing on his back. If you'd actually read up on it you'd see that kids are having serious back problems from heavy back packs. Right now he has a regular one, the wheels on the other backpack wore out! But he goes to a closer school now, so I'm not sure if he'll need one or not. It's still a mile walk.

bags for college?

WOOOT

what types of bags do i use for college? I have a nike sack which practically is one giant pouch with no zipper or anything. I used that bag throughout my whole high school. When i went to college this thursday, everyone's bag looked...sophisticated. What kind of bags are these and where do i buy them?
target? i checked it already, the bags are unreasonably expensive, and small >_> i cant fit a 1inch binder in there. Either the target i go to (which is at the most a year old) has a less stock of bags, or i'm just being picky, because seriously, a good bag at target is around $50.00

Answer
Go for one of those messenger bags... like Crumpler. So you could lug your notebook with you as well.

Good luck with college! Don't sweat over the small stuff, like bags.

any cute backpacks for high school/ college girls?

Love

i was looking for a small/medium sized backpack for a high school/college girl. Any suggestions? (besides jansports or vera bradley)

Answer
For high school i wouldn't get a small book bag. This may not be exactly what your think of but i really like this one and it seems more practical than getting a small book bag:
http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/equipment-daypacks-filter-category-womens-backpacks/women-39-s-jester.html
I've been using it for a year and for travel and its a great book bag and great quality!

Another book bag i like is this one:
http://www.aeropostale.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12893895&cp=3534618.3534619.3534623.3541050.3536159.1988359
It may be more of what your looking for as it's smaller and also very cute. I had this for camp and i got ton's of compliments on it!

Also, someone else said the coach book bags, and i love those but they are VERY expensive! If you have the money for it that would probably be my top choice but in reality most people don't spend almost $300 on a book bag! If you can afford it though, definitely get it!

Is the Christchurch (D8) area safe for a single person (American) staying alone in an apt?

H

I've stayed in hotels in D2 previously, but I need an apt for work. I found a good one on daft, but on google maps, it's across from what I think is a homeless shelter (St Vincent De Paul) & there is graffiti on a lot of the walls & quite a few barbed wire fences. Regardless, the apartment does appear very nice - but I just don't know if there will be issues walking around there - particularly at night since it is near temple bar too (I used to go out there at night myself - but maybe not as much this trip). Should I just take taxis home? Work will not pay any more than this & it is extremely close to where I need to be.

Answer
No,I strongly wouldn't recommend Christchurch.
Its a very rough area,a lot of drug dealers etc going round lots of estates!
From your description it sounds very rough,yes the apartment may look nice,as do all properties on websites,but I can almost guarantee after a few weeks it will be faulty!

Also,temple bar is a very rough area.I have gone there lots of times on school trips and I hate it.I actually get nervous going down the different lanes.Everywhere you go people are staring right at your purse or bag.

Not trying to scare you or anything but half the time those taxi drivers are driving drunk.My friend had to get one and was terrified all the way home.

It was shown on TV a few weeks ago on all those rough estates around Dublin,and Christchurch was mentioned as one of them.

So sorry to tell you,but I wouldn't stay in Christchurch if you paid me.Maybe its just me,but it seems a very rough area!

Hope I helped tho:)

Suggestions for improving this chapter?

ChristianT

I am 15 years old and I am trying to write a novel. This is the chapter I just finished drafting where the main character, a twelve year old girl, meets the other girls in her class at her new school and starts deciding what she thinks about them. I don't have anyone else to ask about it other than my dad who doesn't read this kind of book and hasn't ever given me any useful feedback, so I'm posting it here.

Chapter 3, make friends -4/10/10

Emily looked out at her new classroom. Emily and her teacher were the only fare skinned people in the room. The teacher introduced Emily, or tried to. "Ki oru class,â She said, but was immediately intterupted by a loud chorus of âItâs ki oraâ To Emily the first pronounciation sounded better, but the teacher corrected herself and went on. âKi ora class, Today we have a new classmate, your name, is?â
âEmily.â said Emily.
âWell, itâs nice to meet you Emily.â Said the teacher. âYou can call me Mrs. Finn. Ok, please find a seat Emily.â Emily walked in the gap between the desks that went through the middle of the classroom. The desks were lined up width-wise in groups of three, there were a couple of spare seats to choose from. A girl whose long-brown-with-highlights hair was tied in a ponytail waved to Emily.
"Emily, sit over here" Said the girl. Emily sat down next to the girl.
"My nameâs Jo, And this is Tania." Said the girl. On the other side of Jo was a chubby girl with very dark skin and black hair tied in a top knot, or Emily thought that was what it was called. Sheâd never seen one before.
âHello Jo, hello Tania, nice to meet you" said Emily.
Jo looked like she was about to reply, but Mrs. Finn stopped them
âQuiet now, itâs time for mathâ
Mrs Finn handed out math sheets to the students. Emily thought she would like Mrs Fyn.

Later, after being relesed for recess, Emily followed Jo and Tania out of the classroom. Both of them stopped in the room where the bags were kept and stood there facing four other girls. âWhereâd ja come from Emilyâ asked one of them âIâm from Christchurchâ Emily said. âDid you move because of the earthquake?â she asked, grabbing a pink backpack from a hook.
âYes,â said Emily,
my parents got really upset and then we went to stay with my granma in Wellington, my Mum decided she would rather stay in Wellington but we have to wait for the insurance company to pay us and all the good houses in Wellington were really expensive, so she brought a house out here cause they seem to be cheaper here.â
âThatâs cause nobody wants to live hereâ said Jo. The girl with the pink backpack pulled out a small package. âAtawhai Can I have one?â asked Tania âSure, Ya want one Jo, oh yeah you donât smokeâ WHAT! thought Emily, How can they be smoking,
âisnât that illegalâ Emily said out loud.â¨âYeah Atawhaiâ said one of the other girls, in a teasing voice âIsnât that Illegalâ
âWhy would it be illegal?â asked Atawhai.
âUnderaged smoking?â Emily guessed. She wasnât sure if there was a legal age limit for smoking, but she knew kids werenât allowed to buy cigeretts.
Jo said she didnât care, âjust give me my *swearword* smokeâ
except she actually said the word.
Once Shellyâs older sister had been caught smoking in high school, And sheâd been expeled. Emily had never encountered kids her own age smoking, and she thought it was discusting.
âItâs a smoke free school.â Emily said, âOnce my friends sister was caught smoking...â
âThere not smoking at schoolâ said Jo, âTheyll go outside into the car parkâ
âYeah, well, see yaâ said Atawhai, as she and Jo walked off.
âArnât you allowed to smoke?â Asked Tania, she was talking to Emily.
âNoâ said Emily.
âAre you allowed to do drugs?â
âOf course not! said Emilyâ
âAre you allowed to drink?â
âOnly in comunionâ
âDo you go to church?â One of the other girls intterupted
âYesâ Said Emily
Tania ignoored her
âAre you allowed to swear?â
âNoâ said Emily.
âAre you allowed to gamble?â â¨âCan you quit it with the dumb questions, Iâm not a bad personâ said Emily.
âOhâ Said Tania, and she walked away
Emily walked out and sat at a picnic table. âWhere am I?â she thought.

Answer
When you're using dialogue, and you're putting 'said Emily', or something after the quotes, put a comma at the end of the speech, and uncapitalize the word 'said'. Example;

"My feet hurt," said Eddie.

If the dialogue is a question, replace the comma with a question mark. If it's an exclamation, use an exclamation mark. Different examples;

"Don't you hate it when your feet hurt?" wined Eddie.
"My feet are killing me!" shouted Eddie.

If it's obvious who's saying the words, you don't even have to put the person's name afterwords. Example;

Eddie was sitting in his chair, bent over, rubbing his feet. "I wish I'd never went out for that really long walk!"

Also, when a new person is talking, start a new paragraph.
Don't do this;
"My name is Sarah," said Sarah. "My name is Eddie," said Eddie.
Do this;
"My name is Sarah," said Sarah.
"My name is Eddie," said Eddie.

Alsooo, make sure to indent with every new paragraph!! There are several grammatical errors as well, such as when you said 'There not smoking", it should say "They're not smoking", as in 'they are'. 'There' is a destination word. Don't always say 'said', either. It makes your writing sound bland and boring, and makes the characters sound unemotional. Try to switch it up a bit, use words like 'exclaimed', 'shouted', 'laughed', 'pouted', 'moaned', ect.

There's a lot more to mention but I'm just gonna leave it at that! :D Good luck!

Why were people healthier in the 50s?

Sherminato

It just amazes me how bigger we have become and unhealthy.What did they do that kept them fit?.What has changed?.What is your opinion.

Answer
Speaking as one who was a 10 year old in 1956 I would say that
the lack of junk food was one of the main reasons for giving the
impression that we were healthier in the 1950's particularly in
the UK.
There was only one take away outlet in those days, the fish and
chip shop, potato crisps came in one flavour ( plain) with it's little
bag of salt. Wartime rationing over ran into the 1950's with sweets
and chocolate less available, no comfort eating.
Lower wages, fewer cars, people walking to and from work, school,
etc., and limited types of food produce available in shops. Mothers,
shopped on a daily basis, no frozen foods, most meals were home-
cooked on the day.
Cooking was often fried in lard or dripping, but people worked harder
or did physical work which kept most people lean and trim. Plus in
the 1950's post war years, we manufactured much more than we do
now. Britain is a service industry nation these days, with many more
sedentary jobs requiring people to sit at a desk all day. The whole
western world seems to be one of less physical activity, but I doubt
that we were truly "healthier", we just had less options with which to
become obese.

Back to school outfits 2011?

Squad Casd

im a girl, by time i go back to school ill be 13 and im going to 8th grade. I'm looking to start shopping for my back to school clothes, and I was wondering if anybody had ideas?? i want to look cute but not follow every trend. And I want it to be comfortable and cute. Any ideas?
ALSO: i only have a budget of $200 for the whole year

Answer
Summer-y:
bright colored (Neon and color blocking)
tribal print
neon tank
floral top
Lace/crochet tops and dresses
nautical shirts
crop tops for sure!!!
Flowy cardigans or lacey/ see through
flowy blouses,
Bodycon Skirts- Good with loose top
White or Khaki capris
White jeans
In detail:
sun dresses<-- Adorable to wear with a cardigan, statement jewelry, and sandals!

Lace/crochet tops, nautical tops (stripes, navy & white) These 2 are my favorite summer trends! Looks good with a statement piece (Long necklaces with a giant gemstone/pendant/design, owls, Feathers! Feather earrings! Gold studded bracelets! Multiple friendship bracelets<- Nordstrom has a lot)

Popular= crop tops/ Dolman tops! Pretty much anything flowy!

Cardigans (one flowy or lacey and another short sleeved sleeved one) You can get them at Forever 21, Macy's, etc. For plain ones you can get them at Nordstrom too!

Shoes:
Sandals: Gold- Steve madden! And now those tan,leather ones with many straps!
Flip-Flops: Striped, colorful, metallic- Havaianas Also try them with a bow/flower in the middle
TOMS- eco, and helps children in LDC's
Sperry- Cute!

Get shoes at:
A.M. Eagle
Urban outfitters
Dillardâs, Nordstrom, macyâs

Stop at Retail stores like Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, or dillard's. I'm pretty sure Nordstrom has TOMS and all of them have havaianas, Steve Madden, and Sperry's and cute clothes!

Stop at stores that buy extra inventory from department stores like T.J. Maxx or Marshalls which also have designer names (Juicy, Guess, Steve Madden, Coach)

Common- Abercrombie, A&F, A.M. Eagle, VS PINK
For trendy stores try Forever21. and other favorite trendy stores of mine are:
Urban outfitters!!
Anthropologie!!!
Free People!!
Zara/ H&M/ Bebe
Vs Pink (This might be common)

Fall:
Haha! the Fall runways shows came out a few days ago but here is just the general gist of it:

70s fashion
Like the '50s and '60s coming back, so are the '70s! There are two main aesthetics: '70s bohemian, and '70s sophisticated glamour. This includes dresses that fall like shimmering water in the evening and high-waist pants with elegant blouses by day! High waisted wide-leg pants or flares, smartly belted in.Neat bow-blouses, especially ones with billowing or bishop sleeves. Particularly great are fabrics like silk and satin.Roll neck sweaters tucked into pants or skirts. Also layering over beaded necklaces or a vest!

Pleats- Popular in spring and also for fall! However, then pleats will be worn paired socks or tights and heels, and some cosy layers on top. A rock-chic pair of boots, mixed styles for contrasts (like flowly pleated skirts with a bohemian fur or a tough biker jacket), etc....

Fur Clothing- as always...
Bell Bottoms- aka Flare jeans
Wide Leg Pants

Accessories:
Leather-ware harness
Choker necklaces
Cuff bracelets!
Studs

Colors: This year fall is slightly different! Bright colors are also going to be trendy with fall!
Black
Olive
Bronze shades?
Midnight blue, silver, and gray shades
Forest green and plum

Oh! and I think that the popular tribal print will be slightly reinvented as a trend for Autumn too!
Uhh Feather, Tribal, Army green will be popular in both seasons!

Dress nonchalantly. Don't overdo it or under do it by wearing sweats. I think the 2nd and 3rd days are the days you should wear you cute new stuff :D. Be different!
Oh! I was going to add... you should also buy cute jackets like white jean jacket, cropped jean jacket, etc over dresses (very cute) or tanks that don't meet dresscode and Miss me jeans, uggs, Juicy couture, Pink hoodies, Coach bags are also popular
