Backpacks That Don't Suck






















Backpacks (i hate when people call them nap-sacks.. it just makes no sense!) aren't just for going to school any more. Thank goodness the "mini backpack" has been re-invented in the past few years and are actually more stylish than ever! 
When I typically think of a "backpack" my mind automatically goes to a bright colored goofy looking L.L. Bean bag we all had as kids, or those tiny Kipling bags that were cool in the 90's. 

My current bag love, as you know is my Rebecca Minkoff Logan Backpack my husband got me for my B-Day for our Euro-trip! I tried to hold off on using it until we leave (in 4 days!) but I just couldn't because it's SO useful and awesome when running errands when you just need your hands!
It's definitely going to be the start of a very nifty back-pack/purse collection that steps outside the box of your regular go-to purse! 


This post is dedicated to one of my besties AMY who is in the market for a new back-pack bag !

What's The Point?

^^^ Here are some of my favorite pointy shoes this Season ~

Whatever your style is & whatever you feel happiest with on your feet - don't be afraid of the point!!!
One of the biggest mistakes shorter people make (that i literally see every single day) is wearing round toed shoes....especially with flared jeans. It's a no - no - no!!! 
There's a serious trick of the eye that by wearing pointer shoes, it elongates the leg (especially heels) and draws your eyes up and out making you appear longer & leaner, as opposed to stopping short at your feet and your round toed shoes. 
Trust me - I'm not saying that every pair of your flats and boots have to be "pointy" - it's just something to keep in mind when shoe shopping. Try on multiple pairs of shoes with different toe styles to see and feel the difference !
