If it's the first Thursday in September, the streets are deserted and you're wondering where everyone is, then head to your nearest sports bar. Because September 4th is Kickoff Day, the first day of the American football season, stars are performing in a special concert at Columbus Circle that day, and at 7pm the games will begin. It's all kind of a big deal so get practising those chants. 
Meanwhile, September can mean just one thing: back to school. And even if you're not a trust-funded Upper East Sider about to take your place at prep school, or library-loving boffin heading off to an Ivy League college, you can still get in on the fall semester vibe. How come? Because this season's fashions have more than a hint of schoolgirl chic about them. Think mini kilts, fitted blazers and the pretty, preppy look that rock so well. And, it goes without saying that make up stays schoolgirl simple – neat, perfectly defined lashes, try Maybelline's Define-A-Lash Volume mascara, and natural-looking matte lips with the NEW Moisture Extreme Naked Beige range.
