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?

Peek A Boo

As in, “boo at this awful dress thing”! Sometimes Rihanna’s outfits inspire me, other times they leave me baffled. Like the one above. WTH? She’s in Paris for PARIS FASHION WEEK…and she’s wearing that? With all of the resources, with all of the designer stuff that she could pick and choose from, she chose to wear that??? I’m not sure if she was going for the “outrageous” look, but this just looks plain tacky (and not in a good way). And don’t even get me started on the yellow mess on her head. Cruella De Vil wants her hair back!
