In case we haven't beaten you over the head with it enough yet, purple is huge this season. But, we understand that not everybody is comfortable wearing a purple sweater or dress -- we love it, but not everyone feels the same way. And so, we're really excited to see so many funky purple accessories available because it'll allow those people to be involved in the trend without wearing an outfit they're less than thrilled with.

This Downtown fold-over clutch, available at Fred Flare for $24, could be the perfect addition to your closet. Yes, it's purple, but not overwhelmingly so. The different shades and textures on this bag make it far more interesting than most clutches we come across, and the price is such that we can buy it, guilt free.

Want to add just a bit of color and a little edge to your outfit? Our vote is on this, hands down.

File this one under strange and totally unnecessary:

Fred Flare, the eclectic boutique that carries everything from Harajuku Girls hoodies to hamburger telephones a la Juno, has just added a rather peculiar little item to its online e-commerce site, bacon-flavored dental floss. Yuck, indeed.

Look. We've all been known to chew on hot crispy bacon, Sunday mornings come to mind, but the idea of using a string fused with artificial bacon flavoring after we have just used mint toothpaste to clean our teeth with has our stomachs turning.

But the Fred Flare product description would beg to differ with us, lamenting: "So wrong it's right, this pack of dental floss has the delicious flavor of crispy bacon! Is there anything bacon cannot improve? We think not."

No, Fred. We think you're just plain wrong on this one. *Shivers*

Going back to school means going back to lots of other things -- back to gym class, or basketball practice, or slumber parties after the Friday night football game. And while you could toss your stuff in your regular backpack, we suggest something a little more stylish.

Band-Aids have been showing up as fashion statements for years. Nelly sported the seemingly pointless face bandage back in 2002, and Bai Ling has been showing up with decorative bandages on her legs for all kinds of red carpet events.

In some parts of the country (like here, in Florida), this is the time of year when you can pretty much count on a rainstorm between two and four in the afternoon. We're not talking a light sprinkle -- the sky opens up and dumps bucketloads of wet down upon us, and our hair is ruined and our clothes are soaked. Unless, that is, we happen to actually bring our umbrella with us.
