Circling Back Around: Backpacks Are Back!

It took me a bit of time to warm up to backpacks.  Unfortunately they are a reminder of my least fashionable decade (the 90's), but I've been a little nostalgic for that back-to-school excitement.  I've grown particularly fond of the bright cobalt blue Pierre Hardy backpack, the washed leather Nylo style and, of course the to-die-for alligator model from The Row.  Here are those and other stylish options I've come across:

neutral| studded| tribal| luxe| bright| distressed| animal| pastel| sleek

Keep in mind that, just like handbags, you should choose a style proportionate to your body size and shape.  And please, no grown woman should turn up at work sporting a Hello Kitty backpack (or any other cartoon theme)... keep it age appropritate!

Fall for Pink this Season

Love the unexpected use of pink in Jil Sander's Fall 2012 collection!
Carry over some of your summer bright and pastel pinks into early fall, pairing them with basic shades such as stone, camel and taupe.

Color Studies: Colorblocking Still Strong for Fall!

Color blocking is still going strong for Fall 2012.  I love this combination from BCBG Max Azria's runway collection.  A great bold color palette to play around with!
