Get Festival Ready With These 12 Cool Backpacks

Music festivals have become more and more popular each year, with new ones popping up practically every day. With the large crowds they bring and high temperatures, you'll want a place to hold your water bottles, blankets, sunblock, etc. And it doesn't get any more convenient than a backpack.

Here are 12 backpacks that I've been crushing on lately. From Chanel, to Obey, to Herschel Supply Co., take a look at these adorable backpacks.

Which bag is your favorite? And do you plan on going to any music festivals this year? 

Dope Shoe Alert: Ikaria Metallic Wing Sandals.

Let's take a nice little stroll through Mount Olympus, shall we? So we know that metallic and holographic items are on trend this season, which is great, but would Jeremy Scott have even predicted this take on things?

Made by Ancient Greek Sandals, these Ikaria metallic sandals feature the cutest wing feature that will instantly take these shoes to the next level. These babies are selling these for $230; made with soft silver leather and a neutral sole.

What do you think?
Would you cop?

Kenneth Cole: F/W 2013.

"Yield to Social Netwalking" 

Kenneth Cole made his 7 year debut back to the runway yesterday at New York Fashion Week for his F/W 2013 collection. The show's theme was based around social media, with Cole donating $1 to amfAR for every tweet and RT using hashtag #KCRunway. The models took their final walk while snapping shots of the photographers and guests with their camera phones. It was mainly a dark collection set on an industrial runway with projected images like birds flowing across the walls. It was all about structure and movement.

There was tons of black initially, but then white, brown, olive, and oxblood; everything with awesome metallic accents. We saw several designers incorporating metallic into their lines this year, like Burberry for their S/S '13 collection. There were great metallic collars, metal necklaces, chokers, and harnesses.

One of my favorite looks was the brown blazer with black front pockets. They paired the jacket with a puffy brown scarf and black leather pants, and it looked really modern and masculine. I like the sheer tops and metallic items in general, though. All gorgeous. And all of the ladies shoes and boots were sleek, but had petite chunky heels.

I also liked how some models wore a small bag hanging around their necks. It was a simple idea, but made a large impact. Kenneth Cole also created several long flowing tunics with side splits. This is something that's been showing up in other collections as well, like BCBC Max Azria F '13.

Honestly, the stuff just looked GOOD. The sheen of the sweaters, the quality of the skirts, the lines...just nice.

I Might Wear Something Like This....

Mary Katrantzou Printed jersey T-shirt, Yves Saint Laurent Leather biker jacket, Faith Connexion Metallic stretch-denim, Nike Dunk Sky Hi suede wedge sneakers, Etro Crystal-embellished rabbit-felt fedora, Adia Kibus Resin Skull Ring, Bakers Stretch Spikes 2 Bracelet, Marni Shades

This fall, you should really utilize some of the fun trends of the season.
I'm not HUGE on focusing on trends because I wear whatever I want regardless, and so should you, but it is what it is.

With that being said, several of these pieces are trends this year like wedge sneakers, printed tees, leather, and metallic.

Metallic, metallic, metallic.
It's going to be big this season but especially popular in the spring.
If you find any fun metallic pieces at a steal while the seasons are changing, I'd definitely cop.
It will be worth it once spring rolls around.

I like matching things together that typically wouldn't go together.
For instance, the olive green suede wedge sneaks with the flashy metallic denim.
A little contrast goes a long way.

With an outfit like this, I'd probably go on a lunch date in the city or to a chill concert on a cooler night.

Now I realize most of us aren't balling out of control, so I've researched the look for less.
Still gets the point across and saves a ton of dough.

Happy shopping.
