end of a rainbow


So this is what my friend would call a literal interpretation of the end of a rainbow: I being the pot of gold. Since you guys know my obsession with my rainbow Mara Hoffman shorts (seen here, here), you can correctly guess this Stela 9 Hacienda backpack is the next best thing. It's richly handcrafted in Guatemala with probably my favorite textile to ever exist and genuine leather. And it's another awesome brand where you can be stylishly responsible! A portion of their proceeds go back to the communities that make these beautiful bags. By the way, I've forgotten how carrying a backpack is so much more hands free and convenient; love that I can finally go back to easier childhood days with some style. Check out Stela 9 for more unique weekenders, backpacks, and bags...this rad Isabel Huipil Weekender is next on my list ♥_♥


bag: c/o Stela 9 (also available here)
top: Sway
shorts: c/o Gypsy Junkies (available here)
shoes: Jeffrey Campbell (very similar here)
necklace: c/o Skinny by Jessica Elliot
