Speaking of all things Sweden, would you swap your beloved tote bag for a backpack (or rucksack as my mom calls it) this summer like the Swedish girls do? Lately, I've been spotting tons of easy-going jeans-backpack-oversized-tee-type of looks and I think, I might just take the plunge as well - especially during our vacation next month. It just seems so darn comfy, fuss-free and works great with understated summer style. What do you think?
P.S: I am torn between this one in grey and this one. Which one do you fancy more?
P.P.S: Plus, the always comfy sneakers:)

You just convinced me that I need one with the second backpack in your ps link. I love the hand dyed style of it. I'll be getting one in "stormy". What a great name.
Definitely thumbs UP!!! :)
Seeing as I just bought a leather one a week ago, I'd have to thumbs up as well.
I love the stying of them so easy and relaxed. But i am a nervous nelly and am always checking my back to see if it is shut tight enough or worried i will drop something out if slung over my shoulder
:/

I LOVE my leather backpack, especially when on vacation. Way more comfortable (no aching 1 shoulder), better capacity and often very easy to keep secure (Mine is Roots -beautiful options with buckles and ties and thick leather to ensure strangers can't get in without me knowing!)
i normally carry a large purse when i'm roaming around SF but the last time i was there, i carried my baggu canvas backpack and OH MY GOSH, i have been doing it wrong this whole time. it was so nice carrying around a backpack. i will never go to carrying a large purse around my city again!
I love packs but when traveling I'd still carry the importants around my neck :)
NEED a bag like this!!
thumbs up for sure! i just ordered a brand new canvas back pack in the mail and i cannot wait to use it this summer! :)
Ok, I'm officially on the backpack wagon, thanks to you! Maybe I'll have to add one to my line too :)

I love that you can be hands-free while trekking around a city and it feels safer than a handbag in crowds.
I love the first one - it seems more grown up than the usual backpack.
Loved this post Diana

The stormy one is totally awesome, Anonymous!
Awesome, fayea!!!
Amy, good point...
Those backpacks sounds wonderful, Merry Meri! I am totally checking out Roots now. Thanks:)
Your comment made me so happy about backpacks, Ethaney!

Yay to backpacks, Ilene:) Btw: Congrats to your sister on her adorable baby:) Aww....
Awesome, Mary Jo:) Backpacks rule the summer...hahah
Thanks, little t. You're such a sweetheart and yes, the first one is so city-perfect!
Thumbs up indeed. Love the images especially the first, however, whilst I love seeing backpacks on others, I feel it's not my cup of fashion. But what do I know about Fashion?;-)
I love the beautiful brown leather bags - they make a backpack look so chic!
Lyddie, indeed!
