I love Brooklyn. I lived in Clinton Hill for my first eight years in New York City. Although I live in Manhattan now, Brooklyn molded me into the person that I am today and I will always consider myself a Brooklyn guy to my core. Whenever I get a chance to go back and hang out there I jump at the opportunity. I love the culture and style of Brooklyn, and the food and nightlife is unparalleled.
Recently I've been seeing backpacks everywhere and slowly but surely decided that I had to have one. I'd say that they are the must have accessory this year especially for men. I've been shopping around for the best one for months, and I was surprised at the option that I finally settled on. It is actually a design for junior girls, but who's really counting? I found it at JC Penney by Olsenboye. JC Penney has been in the news early this year for introducing a brand new pricing structure, and then more recently has been caught up in a controversy after hiring Ellen Degeneres as a spokesmodel. As a strong believer of equal rights, I made it my mission to support JC Penney in their decision to stand behind Degeneres. Although truthfully that was only slightly what tipped the scale for me. I actually love this bag!! It's a great design. I love the faux leather colorblocking combination, and the trim on the straps makes it feel really cool and special. And at only $35 it wasn't hard on my budget in the slightest. I compared this bag to all other similar options that I found, and it won over the others hands down. I'm actually really excited about this purchase. Also, I'm kind of a major Olsen Twins fan, so that certainly didn't hurt either.
