Back in Session: Fall in Line

It's the beginning of September, so you know what that means... fall is coming (yay!) and school is back in for most students. Back to school shopping is one of my favorite times of the year. I love fall clothes, coffee, and most of all, school supplies--I know, weird. Something about cute paper goods and colorful pens warms my heart, right up there next to a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte. No shame. Here are a few of my essentials to start off the semester in tip-top shape!

1) Fresh Start A cute coffee mug goes a long way. Here's a really cute Audrey Hepburn mug that I'm loving!

2) Best Dressed Places like TJ Maxx or even Target are great to find bags to carry your books in! Also, Sole Society has a great selection of smoking loafers (obsessed with these), and they also have some really cute totes in. A great one-stop shopping trip!

3) Busy Bee I generally find my cute notebooks from (you guessed it) TJ Maxx! I can't help myself in the stationery isle. The Kate Spade Gold Dots planner is also definitely on my wishlist, and incidentally matches my other notebooks.

4) Study Hours Most of these items are pretty basic, but my pencil case is actually a makeup bag from Charming Charlie. They don't have the same one in stock anymore, but I love using inexpensive clutches or makeup bags as pencil cases because they tend to be roomier, cuter, and also easily cleaned.

What are some of your back to school favorites?
