You can definitely splurge on a designer bag if it carries two purposes right? This bag from BCBG Max Azria's spring/summer 2014 collection is one part bucket bag, one part backpack, so you can carry it whichever way suits you.

Cara Delevingne is the type of girl who can pull off a backpack. It's the cool-girl accessory that, when worn with a leather jacket and a beanie (like Delevingne often does), makes you feel like an off-duty model. This model even has her own bag line with Mulberry. (That adorable mini satchel/backpack she's wearing is part of it.)

Oh, Bey. It's safe to say no one would scoff at being compared to Beyoncé. But while Queen B's booty shorts and ever-changing hairstyles aren't easy to pull off, anyone can replicate this style. And get this -- her Topshop Ripped Denim Backpack is completely affordable. Get thee to eBay.

Leave it to Chanel to make something as simple as a backpack haute couture. These airbrushed packs were part of the brand's spring/summer 2014 runway show at New York Fashion Week. They've since been spotted on the shoulders of Diane Kruger, Khloé Kardashian, Kristen Stewart and other Hollywood celebs with budgets that can include such things.

Yes, you can wear an animal print. Because Jessica Alba did it and she looked amazing. If you're going to wear a fun printed backpack like this one, keep the rest of your look simple and neutral so it doesn't come across as juvenile.
