We're seriously nearing the end here people, the days are getting shorter and the leaves are starting to hit the ground. It's almost time to say farewell to summer. Though my favorite season is coming to an end I have to admit that there's something about fall that gets me excited. As a kid I actually liked going back to school. It was a fresh start, I got to see all my friends again and then there was the best part - back to school shopping. As an adult I've kept this tradition alive, even though I'm not actually going back to school. Luckily a lot of the same tools I needed in the classroom are necessary for work so now is a great time to stock up on the essentials. Looking for an excuse to do some shopping yourself? Here is a short list of "back to school" items that you can justify buying as an adult.
Notepads for your desk are an essential if you work in an office and
if you don't they're great at home too. Buy my favorite at the moment here.

Everyone should have a planner. Maybe you prefer yours digitally but I'm a classic carry-around-the-book kind of a girl.
Either way this is a good time of year to go through and clean up your calendar so you're prepped for the coming months.

I try to bring my lunch to work everyday to save the $50-$60 a week I would spend on eating out.
If you're looking to save money this is a great place to start. To make it a little more fun get yourself
a nice lunch bag. The one above looks like a classic brown paper bag but it's made
of wax canvas and reusable (I'm obsessed). Buy your own here.

The classic tote bag never goes out of style and it's super practical. I carry one to work
everyday filled with everything a girl could need to get through the week. Buy here.
