Well, I tried

Every single year, I get excited over school supplies. Just the sight of them putting out the display at Target is enough to get my pulse racing. But this year for some reason, my heart isn't as into it =( Maybe it's because I know I'm poor this year, haha. Maybe it's because as you get older, you know you need less and less things. My brother, a third grader, has a whole list of things to get, from pencils to glue sticks to markers to who knows what. I for one, stopped getting lists in the 6th grade, and as the years go on, all you really need to have is something to write with and something to write on.





And that's what I've featured, plus one. I for one am a planner, and I love planners in all shapes and forms. I have three calendars hanging on my wall, I use my Blackberry as a planner/calendar, and I bought a blotter or whatever that thing is called that you put on your desk that also doubles as a planner/calendar. And yet, I still want the one above. It's by Kate Spade and she comes out with a new one that's a different theme every year. I wanted last year's, badly!, but it sold out. This one's theme is road trips and it looks so cute. So you best believe I'm gonna get it! $20

Every time I go to Urban Outfitters, I want this notebook! It's a very very cute pattern! And I love the bright Technicolors. And, as an added bonus, I would love to see the Taj Mahal. $7.99

Writing Utensils. Mostly mine consist of free pens I get from hotels, or restaurants, or open houses, or find at school. And on occasion I buy them. I wanted to find some unique pens, but apparently I have been out of the pen buying game for too long because I could not find any! The closest I could find were these three on Etsy.com, which are basically restyled pens that you can buy for 33 cents paper put in around the shaft of the pen to make it appear polka dotted. Frankly, I've had better free pens, but these are cute too. $4
