For Penélope Cruz, school is officially back in session. In her new film, Elegy, she plays Consuela Castillo, a sexy, but mild-mannered college student who turns out her professor (Ben Kingsley). In her promotional photos for the film’s release in Spain on April 16, Cruz showed off an edgy new look, complete with jewel tones, matte nude makeup, and a tousled raven bedhead. The high waisted skirt will definitely be an important trend for fall. Time to go back-to-school shopping!

Belts are the workhorses of the wardrobe, yet they are so often forgotten on shopping sprees. This utilitarian accessory can add shape to a tired baby doll dress, accent a staid suit, or simply keep up your pants. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the trends and the vast array of styles and price points to choose from. To make it easy, we put together a quick list of styles to keep on hand. And remember, your shoes don’t always have to match your belt. In fact, it’s better if they don’t!
