I'm always on-the-go. Whether I'm running around the city, filming videos or traveling for work, I'm on my feet. And don't get me wrong, that's how I like it. But I have this problem where I carry around heavy shoulder bags and they end up giving me the worst pains that shoot up into my neck. So naturally I'm excited when I find a cute bag that works for my lifestyle and doesn't weigh me down.
Keep reading for an amazing GIVEAWAY!
This Kestrel Backpack caught my eye about a month ago and I knew I needed it for summer. It's sophisticated yet casual because the top flap and straps are made from a beautiful tanned leather while the rest of the bag is a coated canvas. At first I didn't think it would be safe in the rain but after getting caught in a few springtime drizzles, I can say this bag holds up...leather and all!
I love that it's a chic backpack with a square body because I can fit my laptop inside for when I set up office at a coffee shop on a beautiful day. I can also stuff a change of workout clothes and my water bottle inside for those days I go directly to yoga after work. And the best part? It's hands-free so I can actually walk around with a coffee now! Do you know how long it's been since I could do that?
I've gotten so many compliments on this Kestrel Backpack in the short time I've had it that I decided to do a GIVEAWAY for Mizzfit readers! I know a lot of you are jet-setting working women and moms on-the-go, and this backpack is perfect for you!
It's the perfect size for work commuting, day trips, to use as a gym bag and for heading to the beach. The construction is incredibly lightweight and the straps feel like they're barely there. I wear mine with these studded espadrilles I got on sale from Rebecca Minkoff.
I like to mix brown and black leathers, and I don't think I'll ever tire of studs. It's the moto girl in me!
So, what do you think of this stylish multi-functional backpack? Would you carry it to the gym and beyond? It's my new staple and it can be yours too if you enter this giveaway.
