School Edition! - Whats in my schoolbag?

SCHOOL EDITION!

So I just thought that due to the fact I have to go back to that amazing place we all call school...(yea I know, worst place in the world) I would do a sort of "back to school" blog as we have now finished exams (unless you do health and social care), and I sort of like to get organised and start fresh as I will be starting lots of brand new modules this term...YAYY! 

The first thing that I got new for going back to school is this little owl broach that I just love to pieces. I actually got this little guy as someone gave it to my nanny and she obviously has nowhere to wear it and so she passed it along to me, so I like to think of it as sort of special in a way. Also everyone in my school has a badge there whether they are a prefect, buddy or in some sort of sports team and of course I am none of those things :) So i'll just settle for my little broach that I absolutely love. I have no idea where this broach is from as it wasn't me who purchased it but I am fairly sure that he was pretty inexpensive! 

I also got a brand new pair of shoes for starting back to school after the long break as my old had holes in them and were pretty worn out. I purchased the exact same pair of shoes that I had before, a plain black pair of brogues with the loveliest detail around them, as they were extremely comfy and I enjoy the style. They are also just high enough that I am off the ground and wetness but not overly high that they are clumpy and big. Again, I did not purchase these myself, my lovely mother did so I'm not 100% sure were you can get these or their price but I believe it is in and around £20-40 from any shoe stores you know. 

Okay so now starting into my school bag! YAYY! 
My school bag is a brown satchel from Topshop that I feel in love with as soon as I laid my eyes on it. It is the perfect type of school back for me as it fits a lot in it and is also slim and tiny enough that my shoulder doesnt ache carrying it about, and of course so that i can maneuver in and around my school at rush periods throughout the day. 

 It has this one long strap that is extremely durable that I like to carry my bag with most as I feel that it sits better and looks a lot nicer when I do this. The strap is also adjustable so that you can have it at whatever length you prefer, however I keep mine pretty long so that it is directly against my thigh. 

It also has this handy little handle at the top that I will often use to pick the bag up with if it is on the floor. I do not use this handle for really anything else but it does come in handy. 
I purchased this bag at Topshop for £45

Now starting in to what is currently in my bag! These are all the items that you will normally see in my bag except for the odd few. 

The first thing that I like to carry around in my bag is 2 lined file pads that I can write on and take notes in class. I used to carry my file pads in the same file that I was bringing to class, however they were too big and bulky and were taking up too much room while also consistently breaking my files closing clasp. I got these file pads from my school at the start of the year with the £10 that our school allows you to spend free on stationary supplies. 

I also carry around this sheet organiser where I like to keep all my sheets and booklets that maybe don't belong in a specific file or are too important to just throw in my bag in case they get crumpled. Many sheets that need to be signed and returned to my teacher end up in this lovely little folder. I also adore the design on this folder as it is fun and colourful. One of my teachers actually complimented this folder and the design. 
I purchased this folder from Tesco's at £2

Politics Textbook

Chaucer Poem Material

The Outsider Novel

I am also carrying these three books in my bag at the minute as I recently had a Politics exam and an english exam in which Chaucer and my politics textbook where needed. My Albert Camus book is with me as it has been sitting in my house until we finished the previous course that was on Chaucer and King Lear. I did not purchase any of these books as the school provided us with the material! 

My Diary is a thing that you will never find me without. I recently purchased this diary today as I fell in love with the pattern completely, I think it's so girly and cute. I actually had another diary in my bag that was pink, however it now sits in my handbag, meaning that I don't have to switch between the two any more. Our school will provide you with a homework diary at the start of the year, however I find it to be plain, too small and not enough room for any of my social dates that I want to include. This diary also comes with a cute pale pink ribbon that allows you to quickly find what week you're on. 
I purchased this diary at Tesco's for £4

Now starting into stationary!!! 
My pencil case is one of my favourite things in my bag as it contains all my pens that I love to write with and I love the design of the pencil case anyway. It's so fun and girly and if you cant tell already, I am a huge girly girl at heart, so this design just called to me. 
I purchased this pencil case at Tesco's for £6

2 writing pens, Pastel writing pens, Glue, Sharpener, Rubber, Pencil

This is just some of the stationary that I take with me in my pencil case. The two pens that I most like to write with are these WHSmith pens that I got when I was over in London. I am really particular about pens and if I don't like the way that they write I will not use them. I like the pens that I use to make the writing appear thing and easy, as I will be writing for most of the day. These pens came in a pack of 3 that I purchased at WHSmith for £2.50
The pastel coloured writing pens are a new purchase that I got to inspire me to revise, its irrelevant if it worked or not...I love my work to appear pretty and colourful, not boring and so I loved these colours as soon as I saw them. It actually came with two more colours but these are my favourite. I purchased these in Tesco's for £6
My pink glue stick is just an essential that is needed in every pencil case, I just really like mine because it's pink along with my metallic pink sharpener. I like my sharpeners to have a bit where the shavings can go so that I don't have to constantly get up and go to the bin. I also like to have big giant rubbers so that they last forever and don't tempt me to cut them up (im such a child at heart) and the pencils that I like to write with are these teal coloured ones that are soft to the touch. 
I purchased all of this stationary at Tesco's. 

The highlighters that I have are these Sharpie ones. Sharpie is a really good make for stationary as their pens are known all over the world, and seeing as I am constantly needing to highlight passages in English and Politics I thought it best to invest in a good brand of highlighters. I enjoy the colours that came with these highlighters, especially the yellow (that is beyond bright) and the pink. I use these highlighters nearly everyday and could not recommend them enough, they are still going strong! 
I purchased these highlighters at Tesco's for £5.50

Now these Staedtler pens are one of my best buys that I use constantly. They are different from my pastel coloured pens that write thin as these bad boys are more like felt tips. Without a doubt I use these pens every single day, multiple times throughout the day and not one of them is running out yet. They are good to use for titles on work and also for maybe ticking things that you have done or even for writing down specific words (however I use my thinner pens for that). They are such a good buy!
I purchased these at Tesco's for £6

I purchased this file today as I am always drawn to bright colour and love to have pretty stationary (if you couldn't tell already). I got this file for English as I will be starting into a new topic on Monday and so I thought it best to start with a new file. 
I purchased this file at Tesco's for £2.10 on offer

This file was got for my Health and Social Care coursework that we have started into. I didn't need a lever arch file for this coursework as I thought it would not need that much space however I am now thinking that I should actually go out and get one because the work is piling up. I also do not need a file for anymore theory as that is completed (provided I don't need to resit in June).
I purchased this file at Tesco's for £2

SO YEA GUYS! That is mainly everything that is in my schoolbag and that I take to school with me everyday as well as the new items that I purchased!:) 
CHOI FOR NOW! xox
