It’s hard to deny that backpacks are anything but practical. I mean, who doesn’t love taking a break from a heavy purse every now and then and tossing all their necessities behind them. Whether it reminds me of my childhood adventures or my first day of school, mini backpacks just bring back happy memories. Though this trend may not be for everyone, I’m beyond thrilled to pull out my Gucci mini backpack I picked up in Cannes years ago. How do you feel about this 90s throwback?

One of my favorite looks for Fall is monochromatic matching. When I found this skirt I knew I would be able to get so much wear out of it this season. The length is perfect for work, but the fit and flare shape makes the perfect transition from 9-5 to Happy Hour. My favorite part about this look is the mix of new with vintage pieces. As I’ve said before I am big on investment pieces. This Gucci bit handbag below was purchased by my grandmother in New York in her 20s, but the quality of the leather remains unchanged to this day. Since the bag was such a classic shape, you can buy this nearly identical one today!

There’s nothing I love more than a calming blue to remind me of summers on the beach watching the beautiful blue waves roll onto the sugar white sand. The good news is this color combination is becoming more and more popular in the fashion world. The official term “Wedgewood Blue” takes its name after the classic Wedgwood china pattern. Check out a few of my favorite items in summer’s newest hot hue:
Dress / Skirt / Flats / Cuff / Bangle / Earrings / Clutch / Envelope / Polish

When sky-high heels swept the runway, I jumped with joy. The higher the better! This is precisely why I am not 100% thrilled with the newest trend: heels lower than 3 inches. This could mean a return of the awkward kitten heel – SHIELD YOUR EYES! Yes, I understand they are probably more comfortable, but they just seem way too practical to me. Take a peek at some of designer’s newest heels:
Prada
Miu Miu
Valentino
Chloe
Manolo Blahnik
Tory Burch
Now these are some low-heeled sandals I wouldn’t mind in my closet to wear with a pair jean shorts and a flowy white tank for casual summer days:
Fendi
Elizabeth and James
7 For All Mankind
Will you be adding low heels to your wardrobe this season?
