September always makes me nostalgic for the beginning of another school year, but this year especially, I just can’t shake the feeling. I want to walk to class on a chilly morning, coffee in hand, a fresh batch of school supplies in tow. And now that pre-exam jitters are no longer in the picture I can truly appreciate back to school time for the inspirational, fresh start season that it is. After all, if you learn something new every day you can stay a student for life! In that spirit I will be picking out a new non-fiction book to read, indulging in a more glamorous version of those school day standbys (wouldn’t you have loved looking up SAT words in that golden leather dictionary?), and channeling Kathleen Kelley from You’ve Got Mail with “bouquets of sharpened pencils” and “the smell of Scotch tape”.
1. Metallic Leather Dictionary | 2. Lapis Pencil Case | 3. London A-Z Atlas | 4. General’s Cedar Pencils | 5. Alvin Brass Pencil Sharpener | 6. Tweed iPad Envelope | 7. Map of Europe Thermos | 8. Camp0 Marzio Mini Pen in Blueberry | 9. Moscot Fionah Glasses | 10. Lapis Card Holder | 11. Timex Core Easy Reader Watch
I love every single one of the picks, especially that gorgeous dictionary – just timeless! Makes me wish I was going back to college, too!
Hi there. I just started following your blog and I’ve fallen in love with all the image boards you do. This one is especially wonderful as I love autumn and back to school supplies. It’s weird, but something about the smell of a new book makes me very happy. Thanks for the great post!
Oh girly. Yes please!
I love that Lapis color. So gorgeous!
i was completley disorganised in school but I felt the same hope every Sept I would be perfect and that it all started with perfect stationary. I irrationaly want everything in this post!
xox
I’m in school, but I need to get that fresh feeling back! Maybe a patterned notebook will help.
You had me at “bouquet of sharpened pencils” and “student for life”. Swoon! I love this little roundup – it’s so inspiring! God how I heart the autumn season!
ha. i was just thinking about you’ve got mail the other day with the changing of the temps in nyc. every time i see that movie i want to get my hair cut like meg ryan.
Great picks! Getting new school supplies was always my favorite part of going back to school…Love the tweed ipad cover!
