NEW OBSESSIONS: BACKPACKS



*Outfit Details with Affiliate Links: Pink Coat (Shein), Jeans (ASOS, Sneakers (PUMA), Cardigan (Shein), Top (Rue 21),  Backpack (Catherina Malandrino) 

If you couldn’t guess from my photos, I have been obsessed with backpacks recently. I love that they go well with the athleisure trend because wearing them makes me feel very comfortable and at ease compared to carrying a handbag or tote. I also obviously think it’s better for my body because I am not straining my wrists or shoulders since I normally have a million things in my handbag.

I already own a black backpack, which was showcased several times through my blog and Instagram. It has been my go to item since I went to Hong Kong in May. I haven’t added any new backpacks to my collection, but recently stumbled across this beautiful one from Catherine Malandrino and I love the color. It is vibrant and bright, which makes my boring winter clothes stand out. It is also the perfect size because it actually fits a lot of items since it expands. If you have a favorite backpack let me know because I am actively trying to add more to my collection.

I also did a quick search and created a wishlist of the ones I am interested in. Disable adblock to view my choices below:

Let me know which one is your favorite and if you prefer backpacks over handbags.

  • I love backpacks too since they leave your handsfree and they carry a lot. I tend to prefer backpacks especially when I travel and I love that there are so many options and cute styles available. These are great picks and I love the colors! xoxo, Christine

    • Thank you Christine. I definitely rely on backpacks for travel purposes as well!

  • I love backpacks as well. They are so much more convenient than handbags for me. The backpack you've got on here is lovely!

  • It's funny, I've thought about getting a backpack lately as I have like the whole world in my bag (feeling like Mary Poppins, haha) and it weighs a ton and is NOT good for my body nor my posture. So I think I'll join you on that obsessions! :)

  • Oooh I starting loving the backpack trend the past year as well. They're so functional and practical and there are so many stylish backpacks coming out as of late. I love the gorgeous emerald one that you carry.

  • I'm so sad that I don't own any backpacks because they're certainly making a chic comeback. As I kid I only stuck to Northface bookbags so I never really had one. Love the color of this one! I'm definitely going to go on the hunt for a backpack for this year :)

    • Yes, I definitely owned a Northface backpack as well, but I've definitely been more into the stylish ones now.

  • I love backpacks so much. I've had a bunch on my wishlist for a while, but still have yet to actually make a purchase. You're making me think I need to just bite the bullet and do it already haha! The backpack you styled is adorable, and I love all the ones you linked as well!

    • Thank you Stephanie. I think you should definitely get one as it comes very handy for travel and running errands.

    • There are many stylish backpacks now and I think a lot of fashion companies are expanding their bag collections to include backpacks!

  • I love the way bloggers look when styled with a backpack. But I always have a fear someone is going to open up my backpack flap when I'm not looking and take something haha. But they are so chic. I would love a blush one!

    • I agree that there may be some security flaws with backpacks but I also think there are some that are harder to open than others.
