If I Was Back-to-School Shopping…

Back-to-School Wish List

1: JustFab Martin Tote Bag ($40) | 2: Sole Society Addison Ankle Booties ($70) | 3: Kate Spade Day Planner | 4: Notebooks by Wild & Wolf | 5: Furbish Studio Leather iPad Case ($56) |6: Nixon Small Kinsington Watch ($175)

File back-to-school shopping under “things most young’uns don’t appreciate until they’re gone.” Then add metabolism, nap time, and limitless energy, and try not to cry at the fact you just celebrated your 10-year high school reunion over the weekend and found two more gray eyebrow hairs.

Those annual summer’s end shopping trips are one of the rites of kid-hood I miss most as a grownup. Even though it’s been several years since I’ve graced the halls of an institute of learning, August still feels like a fresh beginning!

    I actually want all of these things… Shopping time?

  3. Loved those booties when I first saw the post, and I’ve been thinking about them ever since. Guess it’s time for me to pull the trigger and order a pair! Can’t wait to pair them with fall outfits!

    1. I think I’m going to have to order a pair, too! They seem like the perfect pair for every day.

  4. I don’t go to school but I have a bunch of freshly sharpened Liberty pencils at the ready anyway!

    Great post and lovely selection.

  7. I love the shoes! I’ve been looking for the perfect pair! I know you might not be able to do this, but if you wouldn’t mind could you check out my fashion and beauty blog? I’m a fashion stylist/ journalist hopeful! <still deciding haha! But I post almost daily, and I started this February. I love your blogs! Thanks so much xoxo ♡

  8. Working at a college I’ve been able to convince myself that I can also back-to-school shop before the start of the fall semester. Grey ankle booties are on my must have list for the fall! I’ve been stalking a few pairs by Dolce Vita, TOMS, and Sperry…

    1. That’s totally legit back-to-school shopping!

      I also love all those brands. Check out Hautelook! They have a Dolce Vita sale that’s ending tonight with lots of great styles at 50% off!

  9. It’s very pretty :)

  10. That tote back seriously does not look like it should only be $40. I love JustFab and ShoeDazzle. Seriously awesome stuff to be had at both places.

    1. Agreed! My mom bought me a JustFab bag for Christmas and the quality is really impressive for the price! I’m pretty sure this tote bag will be mine before the end of August…

  11. I love everything you’ve picked here, especially the tote bag! Perfect for school! x

  12. I’m not going back to school, but I’m pretty sure I need to buy those booties!

    1. Right?! This is the year I add ankle booties to my regular rotation. They go with everything!

  13. Reblogged this on and commented:
    Fun but expensive

  14. The notebooks and the watch are amazing!

  15. I almost wish I was going back to school each September just so I can back to school shop! love those ankle booties!

    1. I like to tell myself that even though I’m not going back to school, the fall is still a fresh start. And I’d like to start with those booties ;-)

  16. That tote back is fabulous — I really need a new one this year!

    1. Fab and totally affordable! It’s only $39.50. I have another JustFab bag that was a gift from my mom, and their quality is great for the price.

  17. I second this! I wish I had an excuse to “back to school” shop :)

  18. So true!! I always feel like I’m making new goals for the rest of the year in August! These are some wonderful picks! :)

    1. Some habits die hard, right? ;-)

  19. That kate spade day planner is so cute. I may just have to get it.

  20. Those notebooks are adorable!

  21. I always loved back to school shopping!! What cute boots!

  22. That bag is super cute

  23. Just bought some ankle boots just like that with fringe and I’m obsessed! I keep trying to save them for fall but I just can’t help wearing them out already, even if it’s super hot here!

    1. Haha, I don’t blame you! I’m in no hurry to see summer end, but every morning I’m tempted to pull out a pair of boots. Then I remember that it’s 95 degrees.

      Just think of how much you’ll e able to wear them in a few short months!

  24. I just bought a planner just like the one you have here to bring with me abroad (I am studying abroad in Italy). Even though I am studying abroad I am NOT about to miss out on back to school shopping :P

    1. Studying abroad is a perfect reason to go back-to-school shopping!! That sounds lovely!

  25. I loved back to school shopping when I was younger! I still to this day buy cute notebooks and agendas every August.

    1. Guilty.

      I just cannot resist a cute notebook, and can’t live without an agenda. I have a smartphone and an iPad, but if I don’t physically write an appointment down I forget it.

      1. I’m exactly the same. If I don’t write things down in my agenda I completely forget about them.

  26. love this girl. I have the exact same planner but in gold stripes! :) im back on wordpress and blogging away so check it out! Also was just promoted on popsugar to become a fashion blogger for them on POPSUGAR Select! find me on there at chloescravings

    xoxo,
    Chloe :)
