Fact: it’s impossible to go anywhere in New York without bumping into someone with a Fjallraven backpack.

But if you want to stand out from the sea of kids in the Swedish brand’s signature square daypacks, here’s an alternative.

The new “Numbers” collection has a studier feel with leather straps and tons of room for all your stuff.

And while it would be the perfect thing for a weekend hiking trip, let’s be honest: it would work just as well pounding the city sidewalks.

So mark you calendar for March 1 when they arrive online, and get it before everyone else.

Way to rock Casual Friday with a ’70s flair, Emma!  The bell bottoms with the Rachel Zoe platform heels and the striped shirt and the giant sunglasses – so cute!  So fresh!  So easy for anyone to pull off with a quick trip to The Gap or J. Crew!

Fact: We love Batiste’s Original Dry Shampoo (here’s proof!).

But the UK brand’s new  “Gold Shimmer” dry shampoo has us a bit perplexed.

According to DermStore,
the new spray adds “A hint of pearly shimmer to create a subtle glimmer and sparkle.”

What do you think? Worth a try?

Check it out: Sonia Rykiel now makes a “Cherry Bomb” cardigan.

If you want it, you can buy it for $495 on Net-a-Porter.

If you don’t feel like shelling out the cash for this wearable ode to The Runaways, then we suggest checking out this vintage clip of the band performing the single in Japan.

And while you’re at it, might as well watch the Dakota Fanning/Kristen Stewart version too….because it’s Friday, so why not?

Since friendship bracelets are making a comeback, it was only a matter of time before someone capitalized on alphabet beads.

Behold, Topshop’s $10 incarnation of elementary school accessorizing.

Compare them to these $4 pack of rainbow alphabet letters that will make dozens of personalized bracelets for less than the cost of a standardized one.

To buy, or to make, or to leave buried with summer camp? Let us know.
