You have favourite things for a reason. Music, food, entertainment or even lipstick colours, whether it be because they may taste good or they look pretty, we all have our own set of preferences that change and grow with us. Our wardrobe is like that too. We pick our fav T-shirts, jeans and shoes usually because they fit the best or are the most comfortable.

Something that I recommend for everyone to figure out is their own favourite trend. Something that can help define your wardrobe. It could be, black and white, florals or nautical, for example. Look for something that is a classic, yet an always updating trend, so you can always have something that looks current, while being able to add a new piece to spice up the look. This will help ease some pressure to find new trends each season.

Backpack Kid

Trevor, my husband, for sure thinks I’ve gone mad. I went out shopping in London #eurotrippinwithboo (watch the trip on instagram) and picked up this  snazzy leather backpack.

I was the girl throughout high school and university that lugged around a giant tote. I was working at Roots at the time, so I had their leather yoga tote, which allowed for a yoga mat (or in my case, an art roll) to fit in the front. I have since had zero relationship with backpacks, and often questioned their roll in fashion.

Well, this season, I think he’s right, I’ve gone mad (maybe we all have) but my number one must-get for this Euro trip, was in fact, a leather backpack – ideal for finishing the trip with.  So while adventuring on my own I walked through the markets in Camden Town, I fell head-over-heels in love with this mushroom grey one.

I often feel about 12 years old while wearing it, but this season I will use this youthful accessory to add playfulness and practicality to my style.
