Buy, Keep, or Toss: Backpack

Trends come and go, which makes getting rid of old things super tough. Take shoulder pads for one, had my mom kept her power suit tops for me, I wouldn’t have had to spend a small fortune updating my wardrobe with Zara/H&M pieces. Same goes for the new trend in bags – backpacks. Had I kept my old one…brown leather and tiny…perhaps I wouldn’t have shelled out for my Chanel one.

Seeing how this new trend is popping up on stylish shoulders of celebs such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Whitney Port, Rihanna, Daisy Lowe, and Rachel Bilson, among others, and with Stella McCartney designing for LeSportsac, as well as a miriad of designers including backpacks on their Spring and Fall 2010 runways, options are no longer limited to the usual Prada nylon backpacks…there are so many choices available – dressy, sporty, preppy. Yet, still, this trend is definitely not for everyone. What are your thoughts on this one?

Would you buy a backpack, pull an old one out of the closet archives, or would never-ever wear consider wearing one?

Style Fille: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Absolutely love that leopard wrap/shrug that Mary-Kate is rocking! Also love her rings, bracelets, hair, makeup, and the “prune” smirk. She doesn’t care if you hate it, and why should she? Ashley’s lacey bodysuit also caught my eye…wonder if I could pull that off?

Love them or hate them, the Olsens always bring something new and different to the fashion plate…and for that, I love their style!

Halloween is around the corner, and a costume post is coming very soon. But in the meantime, I was wondering if you guys are dressing up this year? Did you dress up last year?

Mary-Kate and Ashley in Toronto

olsens toronto

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were in Toronto this week to promote their Elizabeth and James Fall 2009 Collection at Holt Renfrew and Much Music. Would’ve been cool to see them in person! Love that they don’t seem to care about the mainstream criticism towards their clothing choices and just keep doing their thing. Have you picked up the latest Marie Claire issue? Ashley’s interview is an insightful read, but wish it was a bit longer.

Have you checked out their Fall collection yet?
