back to school: backpackin' it

I'm a huge fan of bags and purses and since it's back to school season I'm going to share my favorite kind of bag: backpacks!

You can carry around backpacks that don't make you look like a 12-year-old straight out of 6th grade. The main thing I love about backpacks is the functionality. I also don't mind having both of my hands free even when I'm lugging my books around campus.
I mean, backpacks can be just as fashionable and stylish as your trusty ole' tote or satchel.

So here are a few of my favorite backpack picks!

Patterned backpacks: I love love love patterned backpacks in different colors and textures. Also, they come in a variety of materials such as canvas, nylon, and even polyester.

Leather (or faux leather) backpacks: Leather backpacks come in different shapes and sizes. They can be a little bit pricier than say, canvas backpacks, but they will definitely last you for a long time.
If you're not a big fan of authentic leather, there are also other options such as vegan leather, PU leather, leatherette, and other types of faux leather.

room inspiration: white spaces

I have always been a fan of crisp white spaces or even just predominantly white spaces. Whether it be desks, bathrooms, bedrooms, any kind of room really. There's just something about how clean and soothing white spaces look. It seriously is just a blank canvas and you can work with it however way you want.

White spaces can fit any personality, any mood, any style and any function.

Here is some inspiration on your future white spaces!

Love in the Sky

by: The Weeknd

I've always been a real big fan of the Weeknd, so here's a short snippet video for Love in the Sky from his album Kiss Land
