Backpack Pack It Up

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

We’ve been easing into the concept of backpacks once again. It’s a slow moving train, but we really did them some harm in the 90′s with over saturation and awkward adolescent memories. Then we did even more bodily harm with scoliosis inducing one shouldered bags. Now, we’re not saying that a backpack is fully acceptable in an office environment, or on a daily basis, but a good rucksack like one of these will be ready for your summer adventures.

"It's All About The Details"

Edited by The Fashion Web

Always one for details, I found a seemingly endless array of head turning clothing and accessories (as I always do) on netaporter.com. As you all well know, that’s my favorite website for incredibly chic and beautiful, clothing and accessories. The first item that caught my eye today, is that luscious Moschino tunic….the top portion is crepe and the fringe pieces are leather. It would also be great for fall and winter with a long-sleeved top underneath and a killer leather jacket. The next jaw-dropping beauty, is that Catherine Malandrino gown…..is that beautiful or what! Sure to make the wearer look and feel very much the goddess. I envision that dress with big and bold gold accessories; Silver would also work, but there is just something about gold that would really add to the overall look. Oh, and the Dannijo accessories….fabulous as always; the crystal studded collar and bracelet are simply magical! Tory Burch’s tie-dyed top is also cute and “functional”….I love the purple and the cut outs in the sleeves. One of the few tops with long sleeves that could be worn comfortably this time of year. I’m also taken with Tibi’s “Bahati,” silk dress. Not only is it unique, but it looks so….comfortable! This is the perfect “dress up” or “dress down” item….it would look great for evening with heels, or during the day with pretty, black or colorful sandals.

Jessica rocked this look at the Tribeca Film Festival screening of “The Killer Inside Me” in New York. The bohoesque look comes together with amazing hair and a necklace you’d kill Pocahontas for. Snapshot of the perfect look. Check out our picks from how to get this look after the jump.
