Back to School List

So, I have been extremely bored lately. I have found myself sitting at home, doing nothing but reading (currently Edie) and looking at clothes enviously on the internet. Yes, I'm that much of a bore.

And plus, school is right around the corner (the 26th for me, so early!), and I need to head out shopping. So, here's to my top 10 items I really need/want:
10) Studded Ballet Flats
These are possibly the most amazing things I've found in a while. I guess I like to dance (I don't do it so well though; my last official dance lesson was over a decade ago), but these are just brilliant. I'm probably just going to make these myself if I find some studs. It would probably be way cheaper.


9) AA Stripe Pocket Frock in Navy
I love this dress because it's so chic and simple to me. I can really pair it with anything, from a grey cardigan to one of my several pairs of black tights. And the pockets make it so cool and clever.


8) Made by Elves Leather Lennon Skimmer
This bootie's so cute!! They look amazing, and they're flat (oh, how my heels hurt after I wear booties with a heel in school). They're perfect for school or anything. I just hope they fit well when I look for them at UO.


If anyone's read my blog, you would know I didn't really have the best of luck with F21 jewelry before. But this necklace is unbelievably cool. It's semi-reminiscent of Givenchy but with a twist (no pun intended) that I adore. Oh, and they have all those immitation Givenchy necklaces that I might have to check out too...


6)Urban Renewal Boys Blazer
I love blazers. They're so awesome, and UO has a great selection of them. I especially love this one because it's so wearable (and that it's cheaper than the other one I want). I could wear this with pretty much anything in my wardrobe, and I'm desperate to own it.
I really want this skirt mainly because I don't own a single skirt. And I bet it would look nice with a clean cut oxford shirt and some booties. Ahhh, I really want it!! Which brings me to my next item...


4) AA Unisex Pinpoint Oxford Button-Up Shirt
I would seriously buy this shirt in both colors because it looks so cool. I saw it in the store the last time I was there and regret not trying it on. I wish they made oxford shirts so simple now-a-days. They always have to have something stupidly fancy about them I don't understand.

3)Urban Renewal Preppie Cardigan
I love this cardigan so much! It's a mix of a private school uniform and your grandfather's favorite sweater. It's so cool, and I really want it now.

2) Urban Renewal Shrunken Flannel
So, it really doesn't have to be this shirt (it got a horrible review from someone), but I really would love a plaid shirt. It doesn't have to be flannel. I do love this one, especially in red. It can be layered easily and can be worn alone. I like it a lot!!

And the number one thing is...

1) AA Cotton Canvas LA-Z Girl Side Pocket Bag in Black or Sangria
For me, the most important thing about school is having a good bag to carry around your books in. Last year, I had a fantastic red bag from Gap that I still love with all my heart. This year, I want this one. It seems enormous enough to fit all my binders, and the side pocket is perfect for all my supplies. And it's expandable! So, this is my number one need now.

Just so you know, I probably won't be updating for a while. I'm heading to upstate New York to go to college visits with my sister and visit my family up there. They also have a huge mall with a department store sized H&M (yes, I love it dearly). So, I'm super excited!

And I changed my song to "This Love" by Younghearts. Even though the band name might give it this tacky lovey-dovey thing, but this was originally performed when the lead singer (Joe Fox) was a solo artist. Hope you enjoy...

Have a great week!!
