College Chic: Best Bags for School
Back to school shopping is one of my favorite things ever. Picking out folders, binders and pencils makes me excited to get back to school and learning (I'm the biggest nerd, I know). I have the most fun, though, picking out my school bag.
Throughout high school I tried so many different bags. Freshman year I had a standard Jansport backpack that eventually ripped as I rarely used my locker, often carrying books for all 7 classes. Eventually, I realized the value of a locker and traded my bulky backpack for an over-the-shoulder bag. I felt so mature. In grammar school, we were only allowed to bring backpacks and lunch bags to school- not cool oversized purses. After that first bag I was converted. I loved how easily I could get in and out of the bag and that I could just take books out and have a purse for weekends! Come senior year, however, I revisited the backpack- this time opting for a North Face pack with a bunch of really spiffy/practical pockets- but I soon realized that there were so many more chic options for over-the-shoulder bags.
Anyway, in college things are different. You don't have a locker and you only have 3 (or some schools 5) classes at a time meaning you won't have nearly as many books. The bags above are all the perfect size to fit college essentials- including a laptop or tablet. In fact, I used the Kate Spade Wildflowers bag this year as well as the Longchamp Le Pilage large bag! Happy shopping!!

Kick Back in Keds
As I said in a previous post, I think Keds are making a huge comeback (but did they really ever leave?!). Recently, Keds has partnered with two of my favorite brands, Madewell and Kate Spade, to make some of the cutest sneakers I've ever seen! The blue and white polka dot with tan piping, mint and white polka dot and eyelet lace shoes by Keds x Madewell are probably a more practical choice as the patterns are softer, but the bold white and black polka dot or navy and white checked Keds for Kate Spade are also adorable! The top white shoe that has a sprinkle pattern (too sweet) is part of Ked's new summer collection.
Anyway, the question at this point is which pair to get! What is your favorite Keds pattern?

Colorful Accessories by Kate Spade
These adorable accessories by designer Kate Spade add the perfect amount of color to any summer outfit! The lightweight scarves are perfect to pair with a solid sundress for chilly evenings and the gold belt can look cute with anything from a pair of jeans to a formal skirt. I also love the pink flower statement necklace that adds great texture (the petals are actually spiky) to any outfit. Pairing it with simple pink or pearl studs can keep the jewelry from looking too over the top. Finally, the polka dot Keds for Kate Spade are too cute! Even though patterned shoes aren't always practical, these are perfect for running errands. Lately I've been experimenting with mixing patterns, especially black and white, so these would be a fun buy. I feel like everyone is pairing up with Keds this year (I'll post more about this soon) and putting a new spin on the classic shoe. I have a feeling that by the end of the summer I'll have gotten myself a pair.
What are your favorite accessories for summer?
