Back to School!

Unfortunately, the Summer holidays are slowly coming to an and end next week everybody goes back to school, and college. For me, I go back to my 2nd year of sixth form on Wednesday, so I thought I'd do a blog post on going back to school, and the essentials you need!

The Bag
Firstly, of course, everybody needs a bag. Being at sixth form for a year, I found a back pack was the best way to lug my books and folders around, but after a while everyone seemed to just have the same designs and I thought this year was going to be the same. That is, until I spotted this bag in Asda for £12. It is quite spacious, and I can fit all my folders and books in there (including an A4 ringbinder). The material is almost a leathery feel, and includes patches of fluffiness! I just thought this bag was too cute to leave behind!

The Pencil Essentials
Again, my pencil case is from Asda, and was about £5. It has 2 pockets, and is very spacious. I thought this was fantastic, because my oil pastels ALWAYS make my pencil case all oily and disgusting, so now I can hide my oil pastels away from all my beautiful new pens and pencils! I also bought the usuals, pencils, pens, glue, rubbers, and of course my art supplies, as I am an A level art student. I love the brightness on my graphite pencils, as I will know they are mine. They were from Rymans and came in a pack of 4 or 5.

The Outfits

This doesn't really count as much to English students in years 1-11, but as I am in sixth form, I have no uniform, so outfits are definitely a big part of the school year. As the dress code is 'smart wear', I made sure I have a lot of different things, which are also quirky! Firstly, I got the 'Martina Geek shoes' from Topshop, which were £30. I think these are so beautiful and so so cute, and although a lot of people have them, they are still so unique and quirky. I will definitely write a review on them soon! I also got a bowler hat from New Look for £14.99, and it is so beautiful! Honestly, I hated bowler hats a few months ago, but actually trying one on, I fell in love! I definitely recommend them to every one! Especially girls with long hair!

So that's my take on essentials for school and sixth form! When do you start back and what are your important essentials?
