| My favorite backpack! |
And I'm not talking about your high school Jansport
Almost exactly one year ago, my mom and I stumbled upon a gem of a vintage shop in Sag Harbor during our Hamptons vacation. There were racks of Yves Saint Laurent gowns, Chanel tweed jackets, and Hermes Kellys; a total fashion lover's dream. But it was a duo of Chanel backpacks that caught my eye. One was made of smooth black leather with a tortoise shell logo. The other, a classic black caviar leather one with a raised quilt pattern. They were both so unique and stylish, and I knew I was never going to find anything quite like them ever again, so why not make an investment? (well ok my mom made the investment but you know what I mean) I was a little hesitant at first, though. A backpack? Wouldn't I rather have a classic 2.55 instead? But now, a year later, I can tell you that I'm so happy I found this purse.

Organization is the key to success!
When August comes around, I get really excited about going back to school. I love school supplies and getting organized, and weirdly enjoy going to office supply stores like Staples to stock up on highlighters and notebooks. It still hasn't totally hit me that I don't need to go back-to-school shopping this year, but at least I can get in the spirit of things with the annual purchase of a new agenda!
Perfecting the shopping outfit formula
Shopping in August is weird because it's 90° outside but you're buying stuff for the fall, like boots and sweaters, so it can be tricky to get into the autumn mood. So when I go shopping this time of year, I'm looking for transitional pieces, aka things that can be worn both now and later. I'm hoping to do a post that discusses that more in-depth soon, so stay posted, but for now, check out what I wore to go shopping this weekend!

Leather & Blush
Though summer is still going strong, it's time to look forward to fall when it comes to clothing purchases. Luckily, most stores have shed their summer products aside for autumn-friendly pieces, so this won't be too challenging! For August, I'm looking for stylish, transitional pieces that can work in different temperatures. This is southern California, after all, where our hottest months are yet to come, and it never really gets that cold. I wasn't intentionally going to a purely leather and blush color palette, but it worked out nicely, don't you think?
