Game of Thrones - coming soon!!!

I can't believe it's almost time for Game of Thrones to return. It's felt so, so long.

While we wait the final few weeks before it starts up again, can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Jamie Lannister is named... Jamie?

...Really? A sort of modern, androgynous normal average name? Jamie? Hm.

Cute, classic backpack

Travis and I went to Portland for President's Day weekend, and walked around seeing all the Portland-y things. All the women there had on super cute Navajo-y cardigans, which I didn't see in any shops (sad face), but, to be fair, I didn't look that hard, and I think it might be a little late to hop on that trend. (Disclaimer: I reserve the right to take this back if I buy one next fall. It took me, like, 3 years to try leggings.)

While browsing stores, I fell in love with this adorable Scandinavian backpack by Fjallraven.
:: Kanken Classic, $75 ::
This is the Kanken Classic that, according to the website, was designed for Swedish schoolchildren in 1978 (awwwwwwww...). It comes in 28 colors, but I love the rust color above (or maybe the teal green? or the sunny yellow?).

They also have a version that looks almost the same, but has a padded section for your laptop.

For a more rustic look (Fjallraven is primarily an outdoor sporting line), I think this Rucksack No. 21 is beautifully designed.
:: Rucksack No. 21 Medium, $190 ::
And, fun fact: Do you know what Fjallraven means?

It means Acrtic Fox. How cute are these guys???
