School Supplies


I love shopping for school supplies. Filling my cart with new pens, notebooks, and highlighters is so satisfying. It's like preparing for an adventure because you never know what the new school year will hold. Even though I am not in school right now, I'm dreaming of buying the Coach Poppy Sequins Backpack and filling it with "necessities" such as an ipad, a Vera Bradley notebook, and a cute pencil case.

What's on your back to school list?

Back to School Shopping Guide

It's August and the Internet is full of back to school shopping lists.  It's a no brainer to figure out that you'll need to buy pens, pencils, notebooks, etc., but what about those extras that make life a little easier?  Today I bring you a short list of items that are by no means necessary to your academic life but can prove oh so helpful when walking across campus, taking notes, and looking good .
I owned a very similar pair a few years ago and have been lost without them.  Made to mimic walking on grass, these shoes are the most comfortable I have ever worn.
Who wears watches anymore?  I don't but sometimes I miss having a watch.  This watch from Fossil is nice because I can see the mechanics.
This kit has everything I need to fake a perfect complexion.
My brother got one, and it is the coolest pen ever - voice recorder, translator, mini piano, you can even take notes with it.
I'm in the market for a new digital camera, and with plenty of positive reviews, I think this might be the camera for me.
I like to think that I'll still have time to read a good book despite my crazy fall schedule.

Back to School Wardrobe Planning


A few years ago, I worked at a popular children's store that drilled into me the importance of mix and match pieces for building a wardrobe. The basic recipe is as follows:

Look #1 = Jacket + Top + Skirt
Look #2 = Top + Jeans
Look #3 = T-shirt + Leggings
Mix and match pieces to create multiple looks - the goal is to create about 20 or so different looks with these 7 pieces.

I realize that 7 pieces of clothing may work for a 3 year old, but not necessarily for an adult who needs office attire, formal and club wear, etc. However, the basic formula applies to us all, and with an emphasis on accessories, a person can really change up their look without spending a fortune on new clothes.
