Party on Wayne ! Party on Garth !

Funny thing, in school wearing a backpack seems so dreadfully uncool, but in the past few months it's seemed to become the new fashion staple.. fancy that. 

Here are some of the ones I love:

Sophie Hulme Sequined Backpack


Alexander Wang Leather Backpack


A cheaper version with the same type of eclectic look would be Urban Outfitters copycat backpack. I actually really like it, and it's only $68 !

Deux Lux Messenger Backpack

God I loathed backpacks in highschool.. Although now, I want one really bad. Amazing how fashion can influence a person's view on certain things.

Where there's a will, there's a whalebone.

As of lately, I am all about simplicity in fashion, but always with a hint of quirk and that sort of "What the fuck ?" factor being involved in every outfit. 

Although it's not terribly new, Alexander Wang's Spring 09 collection and his line T by Alexander Wang are still my biggest inspirations at the moment. It's effortless and messy, but it's still so goddamn fashionable it kills me. I can't get enough of it. Of course many other designers and new labels have taken the same direction, such as Kain's sheer tanks and tees making their way into everyone's closets and similar styles trickling down into the Urban Outfitters and Forever21s all over the world, I still come back to the great Alexander Wang. 

I love the oversized and shredded pieces. 



































So easily paired with jeans, or my favorite look, leggings as pants. Leather and tattered ones in particular. But also casually dressed up with a great blazer and taken to the next level with an amazing pair of shoes. My favourites being open toed/ open heeled boots and sandals.
