My Fave Four Backpacks!

-

I'm back from a long break with my latest post all about backpacks! I made the switch from shoulder bags to backpacks a few years ago and have been in love ever since. I love being completely hands-free and my shoulders don't hurt in the way they used to when I lugged around a shoulder bag. 

There are a ton of great backpack options on the market these days as backpacks have gone from school kid style to working professional chic. Here are my fave four backpacks for carrying my items in style no matter where I'm going:


My floral Eldi backpack by Vince Camuto is my newest addition to my backpack collection but it's earned a spot in the favorites already. It's the largest one that I own but it still manages to retain a slim enough profile to not be too overwhelming. It's got plenty of storage pockets and even a zipped back pocket for storing a laptop or iPad. Plus, the design is colorful and playful enough to make it a really fun accessory on top of being so useful. 


Speaking of floral - this Watson Lane Hartley floral backpack by Kate Spade really got me into the idea of having a non-traditional backpack. I wear tons of basic clothing so a fun accessory helps bring everything to life. This backpack looks pretty small but it stores quite a bit of stuff and never ever feels heavy even when I stuff it to the brim. 


This is the backpack that started it all for me - my Michael Kors large Rhea backpack (I can't located the studded version, sadly.) I love the studded detail and it's aged pretty well - while I normally would hate to see scuffs on the gold hardware I actually think it adds to this super cool but tough look of the bag. It's super roomy but never looks bulky.


Finally, the most classic backpack that I own and easily the most professional and versatile - my Voyageur Halle backpack by Tumi, the classic luggage brand. It's deceptively roomy, easy to care for and is a great backpack for anyone who's worried that they don't look pulled together. This is the bag for every day of the week and I really enjoy using it!

Moleskine Weekly Planner Review: Pocket vs. Large

-
Image
Planners are a fantastic way to stay organized - whether it's electronic or paper, they keep you on track by making sure you've got a good list of everything you need to do and that you've budgeted the time to accomplish your goals. I've bounced between electronic and paper planning over the years but I have to confess: I'm a paper girl at heart. There's just something about being able to write down my tasks that helps me remember everything I need to get done and when. It's the one area of my life where I just can't make the electronic switch. There's a whole community of people who swear by paper planners who are members of the planning community. I've caught myself going down the YouTube wormhole and watching countless videos that review various planners and share how each planner sets up their weekly calendar or bullet journal. Those videos helped me figure out that paper was my best option and which planner would best fit my needs. ...

My Nail Growth Journey and the Best Tips and Tricks for Treating Your Nails

I've always had problematic nails. They chip and peel pretty easily which I addressed by keeping them short. For as much as I wanted to grow them out, I just couldn't figure out the best tricks to get length. I wanted to see if I could turn my nails around and, thanks to some research and putting together a great routing, I feel like I finally found products and a routine that really help my nails out.  Nov. 6 - Starting point Here are my nails at the starting point on November 6. My skin gets very dry in the fall and winter and my nails were certainly feeling it the most. I had peeling on my right ring and middle fingernails that I had to address. Here's how I started treating my nails: - I switched my nails to a rounded shape. For as much as I love square or squoval tips, a round nail shape does the best job at preventing snags and peels on nails. It's a great protective shape, particularly as I was trying to grow out damaged nails. ...
