Leather Backpacks

While shopping with her family at Century City Mall in LA over the weekend, Jessica Alba created a cozy outfit that's cool for Fall. The actress layered up in an oatmeal sweater, cropped fur vest, and cuffed boyfriend jeans and completed her casual pairing with contrast-lace boots, a black leather backpack, and gold cross earrings. Re-create this comfy and stylish look with a fur vest, oatmeal sweater, cuffed denim, and lace-up leather boots for your next shopping date, and then swap the denim and boots for these faux leather Club Monaco leggings ($140) and black pointed pumps for a night on the town.

There are so many great trends to choose from this year, and this look from Fab reader Maffionista is a truly stylish mashup. She rocked a slew of Fall trends all at once, starting with a leopard-print dress, black tights, and a cozy faux-fur coat. She topped off her ensemble with black ankle booties and a sleek leather backpack. I am loving her mix of texture and prints.

Congrats to Maffionista!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

We've been getting nostalgic, going back to cool, and no one can argue the accessory that preaches school the best is the backpack. Rihanna exhibits her utilitarian flair with a leather backpack, juxtaposed with a sweet Parker floral dress and sparkly pumps. Leather backpacks are kinda tough, so pairing one with frills is super smart. Rihanna would have been voted best dressed at my cool school . . .
