Back to School in Style

It's that time of year again.. back to school! For some it is a dreaded time; dealing with homework, papers, assignments, and stress. For others, it is a fresh start and a chance to get back on a schedule. Although I am going into my senior year of college, I still enjoy the excitement of going back to school. Call me crazy, but it's true! I'm not exactly looking forward to the "work" aspect of school, but I am most definitely looking back to all of the fun back to school accessories/shopping! Since I was little, I always loved going to Target, Staples, etc. to pick out new notebooks, highlighters, agendas, and whatever other back to school items were available. Not much has changed at the age of 21 (I guess it's the future teacher in me?) With all of that being said, I have put together some of my favorite back to school accessories for this coming school year. Hopefully they will give you some inspiration for your own shopping!

Ah the excitement! Pictured above I have:

• Vera Bradley tote in "Heather"- I am seriously obsessed with this tote/pattern! Vera never lets me down! This bag is the perfect size to hold books/binders for school. With all of the different patterns you really can't go wrong transitioning into the different seasons. 
• Vera Bradley agenda also in "Heather"-How could I resist the matching agenda? I am a total agenda junkie. I would be lost without my agenda so I figured it was worth the investment for one that was both cute and durable! This agenda is also perfect for college students and has plenty of space under each day, a place for your schedule, and of course adorable patterns throughout! A definite must for this school year. 
• Michael Kors black wristlet- I have had this wristlet since last year, but I still think it's a perfect option for back to school. It is conveniently small in size but does the job! There's plenty of space for money, ID cards, credit cards, and even your iPhone! The handy wristlet makes it perfect for a grab and go on those busy mornings! Tons of brands have items like this, I just happen to love the Michael Kors because of it's durability and sleek style. 
• Pink travel coffee mug from Target- Of course we need an adorable coffee mug for back to school! With hectic mornings rushing to class or student teaching, I need my coffee on the go! This travel mug comes in a few different colors and keeps your coffee nice and warm on those chilly mornings!
• Assorted highlighters-Pretty self explanatory, but I love highlighters! They help to keep my notes and agenda organized and the fun colors really make things stand out! Gotta have them!
• Monogrammed post-its- Post-it notes are another organizational essential! It's hard to tell from the picture but these have a little monogrammed "C"... I am a sucker for anything monogrammed. Post-its are great for writing reminders to yourself or keeping track of your busy schedule. Again, these come in tons of styles and colors but these happen to be my personal favorite :) 

Notebooks and Folders! I love mixing bright patterned folders with plain notebooks and color-coding! These notebooks are also customizable and I plan on adding a cute cover onto them with my class information and a fun design!

Hopefully this post helped to ease the back to school blues a bit! Happy back-to-school styling!!
