Back-to-school season is the perfect time to reinvent yourself. If you’re a serious scholar, Big Man On Campus, teacher’s pet, a parent with a little more time to yourself, someone who’s going through a rebellious phase (yes, we’ve all been there) or you just like to go about town in a preppy look, Cherry Creek North is ready to equip you for the challenge. Yes, while you were sunning all summer, we’ve been studying up on Cherry Creek North. We think you’ll find our curriculum A+ worthy.

Homeroom

The Classics
F. Scott Fitzgerald popularized 1920’s classic elegance. The eponymous Gatsby collection of fine furniture at Kriess at 201 Milwaukee St. is highly styled, but not in a way that is briefly trendy. This selection of timeless pieces includes the wing chair, the rosewood arm chair, the coffee table, the sofa and, of course the bookcase. They’ll look great in an East Egg manse -- and in your own living room. Visit http://www.kreiss.com/home.cfm for exclusive interiors.

Social Studies
We’re from the school of thought that Emily Post’s Book of Etiquette should be a required reading for everyone. Is that the fish fork or the salad fork? Crate and Barrel at 101 Clayton Lane can help you find everything you need to score as the perfect host or hostess. And if you’re looking to spruce up your environment beyond the silverware, now is the perfect time—the fall upholstery sale runs through October 12th. Take 15% off stock and stock-plus bestsellers and 25% off all custom orders. Check it out at www.crateandbarrel.com.

Dress Code

	School Cool Too cool for school? There’s no such thing. Cherry Chic means going flawlessly from daytime cram sessions to evening schmoozing soirees, and the best way is in the finest eyewear that is both studious and chic. Get to See Eyewear at 2800 E. 2nd Ave. for the best selection of fashionable glasses you’ll see anywhere. And take advantage of that extra month of Daylight Savings Time for See’s Hollywood-caliber selection of dark glasses—around here, we wear our sunglasses at night. See ya around campus—we’ll be the ones in the shades. www.seeeyewear.com
	Arithmetic Math never was our favorite subject until percentage signs were applied to discounts which translated to dollars. This is the last weekend to take advantage of savings at The Blues Jean Bar at 250 Fillmore St. When you make a $30 donation to Dollars for Scholars, a program of Scholarship America that makes postsecondary education possible, you will receive 30% off all purchases through August 31st – and we like the way that adds up! The lesson is doing good + looking good = feeling good in your new designer jeans. Drink in your youth at the The Blues Jean Bar www.thebluesjeanbar.com
	Bible Study Strap on your Goliaths. These sandals have been renowned for comfort since Biblical times and have recently topped fashion trends from Milan, Paris and New York. They can withstand hours of shopping… er… tromping from class to class. Marmi Shoes at 2800 E. 2nd Ave. Unit 102 carries the Blayze by Vaneli. Visit www.shop.marmishoes.com
	Cuttin’ Class Jack and Jill went up the hill alright, but what’s with the pail of water? That’s so last century. In Cherry Creek North, they went up to 222 Milwaukee St. to fetch some highlights, a mani/pedi and a new haircut to start out the year in style. Jack & Jill Children’s Salon pampers our little princes and princesses so they’ll have fun looking good. The younger set sits in race cars and fire engines while experiencing a haircut, and check out the glamour girl party packages sure to be every little diva’s dream.

History Lessons
Here ye, here ye. Ever since all the tea was tossed into Boston Harbor, people had an increasing love for ink, the new-world nickname for the deep-black alternative: coffee. Ink! Coffee at 2415 E. 2nd Ave. added the exclamation to show their enthusiasm for great-tasting gourmet drip coffee and espresso beverages. The locally-owned coffee house believes in no percolation without gratification. Visit http://www.inkcoffee.com/homepage_content.html for more.

Pop quiz

This isn’t geography class, we mean Milwaukee St. Tavern at 201 Milwaukee St. Happy Hour is from 3:30-6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; all beer, wine and well drinks are $1 off. Plus there’s a varied menu of great burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads, and two lanes of Thunder Bowl to frame your enjoyment. Visit http://www.milwaukee-st-tavern.com/home.html for details.
