Back to School...

Well...goodbye social life! And time for myself!  The beginning of school is never a happy time.  What does help is to have some cute things to start off with! Here are a few of my favorite things...


1. Soda Canvas Shoes- I gave up on back to school shopping years ago, and truthfully I am not a big clothes crazy girl.  I do however looooove shoes.  I was in need of something other than flip flops or boots, but wanted something cuter than a sneaker.  So I snatched these babies up!  They are super comfortable and the best part is that they only cost me $1.30! Yay for Bob's Stores $10 rewards coupons!  My only complaint is that they do make you sweat.  I'll have to find some type of cut off sock.  In the meantime, I'm lovin them!

2. Uni-Jestream 101 1.0 Ballpoint Pen in black- Ok so this isn't exactly a "cute item".  However I do a lot of writing (lists, blog planning, notes) and I am very very particular about my pens.  These write beautifully.  I am told you can find a big box of them at Sam's Club, but I'm not sure for how much.  My boss gave me a bunch after I admitted how often I considered stealing them. Ha!

3. Weekly Note Planner- Found this is in the dollar section of Target! I f*****g love LOVE the dollar section.  anyways...I am a mess when it comes to due dates (oh shit that's this week?!?!)  This will help me to keep myself on track, day by day.  And what really helps is that it's in very eye-catching colors! 

4. Clipboard Folio-  Another sweet Target find!  This I believe was half off and only cost me around $6 or $7.  I can clip all of my current important papers and lists of what I need to work on for the week right to the front, and the inside has two pockets, one of which holds a cute pad of paper.

5. Bow Tote Bag- Been in need of a cute new bag, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy one.  There are so many other expenses in my life right now, why buy what I can make?  I used duck cloth I found at Walmart (2 yards for $5!) and followed this tutorial. So cute! And pretty easy to make...even for a terrible sewer such as myself!

Good luck to all heading back to classes this week! Especially my fellow nursing students...
