the canvas backpack.

I love canvas backpacks. I’ve always owned one and I never ever want to let them go. They’re easy to wash and light weight. Perfect for traveling or as a beach bag for the Summer. And now, they’re back in style and all the rage. I couldn’t keep these gems as a secret any longer — so here’s few that I’ve got my eye on that are easy on the budget.

tempting turban times.

 I’ve been all about basics lately with my crazy schedule, but I’ve managed to spruce them up a bit with patterns and heels. Like I mentioned in the sneaky peeky post, it’s my first time experimenting with turban inspired headbands and I must say I was quite amused. I actually went back to F21 and bought two more. It’s the impulsive shopper in me. (I mean, you can’t really pass them up at less than 5 bucks right?).

Crazy hair calls for crazy measures. I’m not one to wear headbands, but I decided to give them a try this week. Only for the sole reason of what my hair has become…..CRAZY. But we all know it’s really because I couldn’t resist that chevron print too.

headband: Forever 21 (similar). nails: Exposure by Essie. lips: CoverGirl Spellbound #325, found here.

I know you’re itching to see what I paired this with. Stay put. The rest of the outfit will be up in no time. I pinky promise. Like we are back in the playground.
