Back To School Haul

So I don't know if I'm the only oddball out there, but I really enjoy school supply shopping. Seeing all the different little notebooks&stationary literally puts a smile on my face. Okay, okay maybe I enjoy school supply shopping a little bit too much. But, hey we're not here to read about what I get a kick out of! So lets get this baby haul started and on the road~

This year around while I shopped around the frenzied parents flinging pencils and bulks of paper in their shopping carts like their very lives depended on it- I slowly backed out the store and ran for my dear sweet life I thought I'd keep to the basics. The first thing I got were these darling pink&blue composition notebooks. Maybe some people find composition notebooks a snore fest, but I  found them absolutely adorable with their fun, bright colors. Additionally these notebooks are mostly made out of recycled bits and bobs! You can't beat ecofriendly~ 

Speaking of fun, bright colors check out these awesome highlighters. I've never seen so many different highlighters in my life. Also if you didn't notice. . .they're miniature! How cute is that?! The best things come in small packages~ 

One of the unfortunate things about school starting up again is. . .flu season. I don't exactly have the strongest immune system so I always tend to catch a cold or two, but hopefully this year around I won't be using these cute little panda tissues. But, you never know when a classmate will be in desperate need of a tissue. Don't worry your little runny noses. . .I've got your back~ 

Now maybe this doesn't exactly fit into the category of "school supplies", but hey I wasn't aware we were keeping track of those type of things. If you take your notes in gummy bears I wouldn't judge you. No discrimination here! But, you might want to make an extra copy, because your notes are definitely not safe anywhere near me. If you haven't noticed yet, the red ones are my favorite~ 

If you've kept up with my blog, you've probably noticed I have an extremely soft spot for cute things. So how could I ever say no to this adorable hedgehog stationary?! It's a hedgehog for Pete's sake! We all have our weaknesses, you know. . .and he was mine. I have not the slightest clue what I would use this insanely endearing stationary for. . .I just knew I had to have it. I mean look into his little eyes! Maybe I'll just start passing notes in class like I did in the good old days~ 

Are you guys looking forward to the school year? More importantly, do you like hedgehogs?

Knapsacks

Personally, one of my favorite things about school rolling back into season is bag shopping. There are so many different cute designs that I hardly ever know which one to choose. Nevertheless, this time around that's exactly what happened. I just could not resist picking up these two little beauties. I know- I know. You're probably yelling at your computer screen right this very moment. "What in the world are you going to do with two backpacks, Sylvia?!". Well to justify the matter of things I've had the same bag for three years now. I think the time has come to put the poor thing to rest. It's had a long run. . .*sniffles* Ah, how I'll miss you, bb (backpack buddy)~ 

What I love about knapsacks these days is they really pack a punch to any outfit. Sometimes I even prefer them over a handbag. Especially the days when I'm frolicking around my college campus.

These two little bags might as well be night and day. I love how chic the black&gold contrast against each other. Even though the style may be simple I feel that it has a luxurious note to it. May I even dare say it looks lush~ The other bag on the other hand is much more low key. It's texture, the pattern, the little buckle&snaps are very old school. But, that's the very reason why I absolutely adore it~

I'm actually looking forward to swing these two bad boys out through out the school year. Watch out college I've got a new backpack fully equipped with pencils&over priced books. Don't try me. . .

Which one is your favorite?
