Every time fall rolls around I get SO excited for back to school (even if I'm not actually going back). This fall I in fact will be taking a few university courses to try and finish up my marketing certificate. So I decided I need to pick up a few necessities before heading back. I picked up number three last week to use as a book bag - I'm loving the navy stripes and brown leather detail, should go well with my fall looks. I would also probably die without number two, the Sarah Pinto agenda, not only is it super cute but I literally write everything in it. In highschool I learned quickly the importance of an agenda and eventually lived life according to what was written in that book. Four, five, and six are for pure comfort. I know we all get excited when back to school hits and want to dress up everyday, but let me tell you, that fades fast and before you know it you're reaching for your comfiest pants, flattest shoes, and something to hide the hair you were too lazy to style. Seven are for pure delight and eight are what I think the perfect frame for fall - loving the tortoise! Are you heading back to school this fall? What's on your wishlist? 

1. Tory Burch Robinson iPad Case $95
2. Sarah Pinto Agenda $20
3. 
4. HM Sweatpants $19.95
5. Urban Outfitters Coal Scotty Beanie $34
6. HM Ballet Flats $12.95
7. Letter C Design White Pencils with Gold Foil Heart $8.08
8. Dolce and Gabbana Havana Frames $199

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Thursday!

The other day I was browsing  and came across an image linking to this post. I fell in love with this DIY and immediately had to have my own floral monogram for my office. For my floral initial I actually didn't use the pre-made cardboard initials as in the original post, I simply took an old cardboard box, cut the pieces I needed and glued them together. I also sprayed the cardboard gold before assembling my flowers. It was such a fun afternoon project and I'm so in love with the final result! Happy monogramming!
