Chic Back to School Essentials.



August 20, 2015

It’s that time of year! Back to school time is in full effect. Even though I’m years removed from my college days [time flies] I’m a sucker for the school supply aisle. I’m super guilty of spending way too much time in the notebook & pen/pencil aisle in Target. When the stuff is so cute you can’t help but grab it!

Whether you are heading back to school or need to refresh your office/desk space, why not do it in style?

    I’m not going back to school, but you’re making me wish I was! I love the backpacks you posted. Backpacks like this did not exist when I was in school. I’m a little bit bitter about it…
