Back to College/School Wishlist

So going back to school or college after a long summer break probably isn’t something that you really want to think about, especially as we’re only half way through August. However, with only a couple of weeks until I start my second year of college, I’m beginning to get a tad excited about the whole back to school haul. I absolutely love stationery shopping and collecting up cutely patterned notebooks and folders as well as finding the perfect bag and coat.

1) T-Shirt Sticky Notes – Paperchase
These fun and quirky sticky notes are definitely something I’ve never seen before and I absoluetely adore them! Post-its are great for revision and just general reminders, but when your notes look pretty you’re probably more likely to remember them. Pale green and blue colours are also included in the pack which make separating and colour coding revision subjects more easier. They also come with a pack of coat hanger shaped paper-clips. This is the first I’ve heard of them, but they definitely do sound pretty cool.
2) Notebook – WHSmiths
WHSmiths is my go-to for notebooks – they always stock so many different patterns and styles, and there’s just so many to chose from! I love all things floral at the moment, and these contrasting block patterns just look really pretty. The pages are A4, lined and pre-punched making them simple and easy to use and fuss-free!
3) Butterfly folder – WHSmiths
Folders are another thing which I often look out for in WHSmiths. Again, they’re always really pretty with so many different patterns to chose from just to make your work look that little more appealing. I also find that they last a long time and I often do re-use them too. Again, I chose this print purely because I can’t get enough of floral patterns!
4) Floral pencil case – Amazon
The last of the floral print (honest) is this adorable pencilcase from Amazon. As a child I may have had a slight collection/obsession with pencilcases, and to be honest, that love has not yet gone away! I love the cute and girly colours on this one and the lace trim just makes it even more adorable!

5) Converse – Schuh
The last (and first) pair of converse that I bought, I purchased just over a year ago and have lived in them pretty much ever since. They’re so comfortable and practical and can tone down any outfit for a casual day look. But just recently, they’ve been looking a bit worn out and the front of the sole is coming loose…time for a new pair soon then, I should think! I absolutely love the colour of this turquoise pair and I think that they’d be so easy to style with any coloured outfit too.

6) Grid print backpack – New Look
I tend to find rucksacks the most suitable bag for school/college days and I am lusting over this white grid one. Tartan/check/grid – and all of the likes – are making a huuugge comeback for AW14 and this backpack is just utterly perfect! It seems to have a slightly formal look about it but that can be easily toned down with something casual, such as jeans or leggins.
7) Duster Coat – Missguided
Duster coats are looking up to be quite a trend for autumn/winter, and I love this longline black one from missguided! The 3/4 length sleeves make it perfect for autumn when it’s getting that bit cooler whilst the longline style gives it an elegant and sophisticated appeal.
8) Lace trim socks – Topshop
So adorably cute are the Topshop lace trim socks and I honestly don’t think I’m ever going to get bored of them. I tend to wear them with converse, vans and ankle books as I think they just sweeten up any outfit whilst adding a bit of detail through the lace trim.

9) Mini snack boxes – Not on the Hightstreet (.com)
I’m always taking snacky things to eat in between my lessons at college (comletely and utterly guilty) and how cute are these snack boxes?! I love the witty slogans and the pots are a great size for fitting into your bag with out taking up too much room – perfect!

What’s on your back to school items? Are you looking forward to the start of the autumn term?
