Back To School / Fashion Essentials

I've posted my 'Back To School' Stationery essentials but, although I do love stationery, my love for fashion and beauty is far greater than my love for a few pencils and pens. Therefore, it was only logical for me to do a series of 'Back To School' fashion and beauty essentials. To start, I'm going to showcase a range of practical and quirky school fashion essentials - keep your eyes out for my Back To School beauty essentials coming soon! 

If you want to go a little more daring this year when you're strutting around those school corridors, why not try a chunky sole? I've collaged together a range of different school shoe styles which don't have to be traditionally boring. Get inspiration from some of these fashionable school shoe ideas!

A school bag does not have to be a boring, plain old rucksack. In fact, I never use a rucksack and have always opted for a shopper/tote style bag to carry my huge arch levers and files around! However, a satchel is a little bit more practical and sturdy and these fashionable rucksack ideas are both practical and stylish!
