Plunge into grunge
The '90s are back, baby, and they're bringing old-school grunge with them. We've got three so-easy ways to get retro rad...whether you're more casual cool, flirty femme or edgy chic. 

All choked up
These chokers are so chic they nearly bring a tear to our eye. Are you more gothic glam or delicate doll? We've got options for all kinds of gals.

Leader of the pack
School's back in session, which means you need the ultimate bag to tote around those textbooks. Haute hot pink, cool quilted leather, preppy plaid—we've got it all right here.

Dressing to code
The dress codes at Maggie Sunseri's school were crazy strict—and, frankly, pretty unfair to girls. This teen shares how she set out to break the rules by exposing the prejudiced policies for what they were.

Fast fashion
Meet the fall trends that go together ever better than burgers and fries. Get ready to dig into looks that serve up serious style.

Fall in with the fae
Dark lips, floral accessories, glimmering skin—it doesn't have to be Halloween for you to rock the evil fairy aura. It sounds a little spooky, but trust us: This look is absolutely spellbinding, no actual magic required.

Skai's the limit
Stylish Skai knows how to get killer curls *and* perfectly pin-straight tresses. Get all her secrets inside.

Wake up, flawless
It's all about that beauty sleep, babe—which pairs perfectly with fall's lazy-glam trends. We've got the easiest, edgiest looks for girls who just *can't* drag themselves out of bed.

Should you wait to date?
Want to know if you're ready to snag a sweetie? Take this quiz to find out whether you should make a move...or just move on.

BGF or BF
People are always asking if you're a pair—and, truth is, you're not sure. Our handy guide tells you when to go for it with your BGF...and when to play it platonic.

The shy girl's guide to getting the guy
Who says introverts can't flirt? If you're not sure how to pick up on his hints—or how to drop your own—we've got just the thing.

Sticky back-to-school sitches: solved
Stuck with a teacher you hate? Your ex is in *all* of your classes? Whatever your freakout's about, we can fix it—guaranteed.

Friendship *rules*
Treat others how you want to be treated, don't gossip, no copying. Scratch that—and every other friendship rule you thought you knew. The times, they are a-changin'... and so are all the guidelines for being a golden gal.

Sleeping beauty?
Most teens aren't getting the rest needed to reboot after a long day's work. But with all that homework and those after-school activities, what can you do? It's time to make a change, chica.

Burned, but beautiful
After surviving an explosion, Kilee Brookbank wasn't sure what life would be like. Now, she's finding the strength in her scars—and the radiance in her recovery.

Side-lined
Concussions are no laughing matter, but it's not so easy to swap out your dreams for the safety of your brains. When Lauren Holiday got knocked down one too many times, she had to step up her game...by stepping off the court. 

Dare to share
Novogratz sisters (and decor experts) Bellamy and Tallulah have always shared a room—even though they don't share a style. These two dish tips to make it work when you've got twice the personality and only half the space.
