my newest obsession:

backpacks!

^^^ after complaining of back pain for the past several weeks,

i realized part of the problem was the amount of crap i carry 

with me on the daily;

i lug snacks, water bottle, books, wallet, lipstick(s)

and other makeup essentials, hair brush, and whatever

other junk i happen to find at the bottom of my bag.

the solution? a backpack! ^^^

^^^ i found this m.r.k.t. (mad rabbit kicking tiger) bag

at a local boutique and immediately put it at the top of my wish list! ^^^

flannel: men's (thrifted), t-shirt: old navy, leggings: american apparel,

hat: target, shoes: converse, backpack: m.r.k.t. (via amazon)

i have to say, i love these pictures!

i had a blast jumping around (walking, too) while 

carrying my backpack this afternoon.

i look forward to testing it out while at preschool this week.

have a wonderful rest of your weekend! 

xoxo.
