As far as I’m concerned, accessories make or break an outfit… Ok, maybe not break, but they definitely add that special touch and make outfits just a tad more interesting!

Take today’s look for example, a classic blue and gray combo gets a touch of drama thanks to my latest obsession du jour, otherwise known as Louis Vuitton Lockme backpack. I was chasing away rainy day blues with some retail therapy in Beverly Hills the other day, when I spotted this beauty, and just couldn’t walk away! It’s everything I could hope for in a backpack and more! The color, the shape, the versatility of wear, I absolutely love it all!

For today’s look, I definitely could have gone with a neutral-hued bag. In fact, I often opt for my nude colored Chloe Raye when I wear this coat, but I rather like that unexpected pop of red precisely because it takes this look away from the neutral territory and makes it a bit more special:) What do you guys think?
