backpacks make me think of schooldays. but in not a very trendy kinda way. earlier this year, i decided that a backpack was a great idea while zipping around on the bicycle. but had so much trouble finding a backpack that isn't leather (for fear of rain/spillage), relatively light and chic, i threw in a towel...
now im back again! this time inspired by my recent day out in town.
i was holding up traffic juggling a flopsy baby in one arm, a tote on my shoulder (which kept slipping off thanks to my non-existent shoulder blades!), a stroller in the other hand, a few random bits and pieces and oh! my bubble tea in the other hand.. wait did we run out of hands already?
everyone was probably thinking "get that lady a backpack!" either that or
"she really shouldn't have commited to the bubble tea..." and because the latter is not an option, im back to the drawing board.
with a lack of new bag-spiration, i thought maybe i could go with something simple!
the husband would vote for black but i was thinking this blue or pink?
wadaya think?
p.s. i welcome any backpack suggestions!

I think a backpack would be cute, functional and, yes, a little schoolish. But that's not a bad thing. Nerdy chic is very 'in' these days. I'll keep my eyes open and send you any cool backpack ideas I find. :)

DeleteThis is really cute!!!
ReplyDeletedo you like the pink or blue more?
DeleteBlue! Pink is a little too Barbie, i think...
Deleteokie! :) i got blue!
DeleteI don't have recs for a backpack but see if you can get a cup holder for your stroller. It's so convenient for times when you have a drink in your hand. When you don't you can throw stuff like your phone in there too.
ReplyDeletethat's a great idea!! saves me the trouble from fumbling for it all the time!
DeleteBackpacks are practical esp if you're handling the little one alone.. keeps your hands free...
ReplyDeletethere is a website that kinda does comparisons for backpack ideas.. maybe you can look thru it and see if anything jumps out at you? =) they even have ideas if mom and dad are going to be "sharing" that backpack! =)

this backpack is all me. daniel has daddy diaper bag galore!! how rad is the one with a DVD player though!
Deletebackpack is definitely a must for our family. And your choice of the coral blue is so awesome I wish I could have it also. hehehe
ReplyDeleteit ships internationally!! :) then we'd be backpack pals!
DeleteI say blue ! fjallraven kanken backpacks - they come in such a fantastic range of colors I couldn't decide when I got mine. no regrets, it's definitely a brilliant backpack.
ReplyDeletewhat color did you get??
DeleteHow about a crossbody sling? They leave your hands free too, and you don't have to take the whole thing off to rummage through it. I bike with one too.
ReplyDelete(And congrats on Blake's first month!)
that was my compromise on the bike. but im concious of crossbody slings cos of my boobs! :)
Delete(thankie babe!)
