So since I completed my back to school shopping today I figured that I would share my school essentials with y'all! These are my basic have to haves when I'm at school-
First and most importantly, my North Face Recon backpack. I've had two other North Faces in the past and this will be my second year using this black one and I love these book bags! And I always carry hand sanitizer with me because germs are gross, duh.

This past school year, my school gave every student an iPad Mini to incorporate into their school life and to help them stay organized. My parents got me a 3rd Generation iPad for Christmas my sophomore year so I opted out of getting one of the school's Minis. Having an iPad and especially having your own iPad at school is such a help and it really does help keep notes and assignments organized. Also I love my pink Kate Spade animal print iPad case!
Drinking plenty of water everyday is so important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and I drink a lot of water during the school day so I always carry one of my very many Camelback water bottles with me. This might sound crazy but they make drinking water a little more fun and I actually do drink more water when drinking out of a Camelback than just a regular old plastic bottle.
I always keep a few bottles of nail polish in my book bag for when classes get boring! I just cleaned out my book bag from last year a few days ago and found 6 bottles that I completely forgot I had. Love these colors from Essie!
I am so obsessed with my most recent purchase- Monogrammed Lilly Pullitzer patterned binder covers. I ordered them from Zest Boutique on Etsy.com for $2.50 each. Not a bad price if you ask me because with my computer skills I would have absolutely no idea how to make these by myself. The lady made these very quickly and emailed them to me to print off of my printer at home!
Next, my favorite pens ever. Uniball pens are absolutely required when taking notes because they write so smooth and clean. And it helps that they also come in pink. :) And I can't forget a highlighter and a note underliner pen!
Nobody likes having a dead phone in the middle of the school day and nobody likes having to relocate to sit by an outlet so I found a very cute fix. I found this Lilly Pulitzer mobile iPhone 5 charger in the Lilly store at my local Belk. I love the "Lobsta-Roll" pattern and it only ran me about $32. I haven't had to use it yet but I know it will definitely come in handy during the school day and away tennis matches.
When I bought my mobile charger I saw the matching headphones and had to get them. They're also Lilly Pulitzer "Lobsta-Roll" . I've used them at the gym a few times and they work great! I can't wait to use them at school and also tennis. These run about $24.
Next is my TI-84 Plus calculator that I painted the other day. Y'all have already seen this so I'll leave this one short and sweet.
So I'm starting to realize that I might have a slight Lilly obsession...next on the list is my "Tusk in the Sun" Lilly Pulitzer Lunchbox. I love this lunchbox because its very big and sturdy. I can fit my breakfast and my whole entire lunch which comes in very handy when you have to ear breakfast on the go.
While rummaging through TJ Maxx a few weeks ago I came upon this precious little cosmetics bag from American Eagle for only $4! I bought one for myself and one for Shelby to keep makeup in for little touchups throughout the day.
Last but not least my Lilly Pulitzer 2014-2015 planner. Having an agenda is super important during the school year to keep up with assignments, games, appointments, ect so why not have a cute one?
Hope y'all enjoyed!
