L.K. Bennett x What´s In My Rucksack Campaign?
A rucksack is deceivingly underrated when it comes to style combined with practicality (which is a very important combination in my opinion!). Firstly, they can room so much more than your average handbag, and it´s much easier to carry; thrown casually over your shoulder, holding it like a handbag, or worn traditionally (which is such a cute look!). I was therefore thrilled when one of my favourite British brands, L.K. Bennett asked me to take part of their new campaign ´What´s In My Rucksack´, featuring their stunning their new ´Sophia`style. I have a habit of carrying a lot of stuff with me; hence why this beautiful and spacious rucksack is the perfect go-to bag for every day use.
So, to the big question is – what do I carry around with me every day?
My Top 10 Essentials
1. My iPhone – never (ever) leaves my sight
2. My new Prada wallet – a gift from me to me
3. Keys
4. Vaseline
5. Bobbi Brown lipstick (Ballet Pink)
6. My trusted Tangle Teezer – my hair saviour
7. Headphones – a necessity on the tube!
8. Earrings – just in case of impromptu after work drinks or a last minute dinner date with my husband
9. My favourite Prada sunnies
10. Some lightweight heels – the classic Floret shoe from L.K Bennet it the perfect go-to heel that goes with just about everything!
How To Style a Rucksack
Well, in my opinion, there are so many ways to style a rucksack; especially if the style is classic and particularly when it´s in black. As the shape and style of the rucksack is quite minimal and polished; I styled it how I would wear it on a regular day-to-day basis for a more relaxed look – when I am often just in my denim cut-off´s and a simple shirt.
Although the bag is minimal in it´s clean lines and design – it´s still such a statement piece with the the gold brass details, suede and leather combination and the beautiful soft grainy leather. As mentioned, it´s super versatile and the perfect Autumn investment piece – which will take me through countless seasons to come.
(Another big bonus? It´s the perfect city holiday bag, and will be just the thing I need for my upcoming honeymoon to Sydney and Hong Kong!)

Ooh, love this bag! Been wanting to get a leather rucksack for a while, but never found one with straps I could get on board with that would work in a variety of ways. This one looks fantastic however you’re carrying it, might have to invest (because a good bag is always an investment, right?!). Loving the loafers too!
