YIKES!
As much as I hate college, I'm not going to lie...going back is kind of okay only because I'm excited at what the year will bring. I'm going on to my third year (though I remember orientation like it was yesterday) and am part of a great organization which will allow me to use my PR "skills" to test.
The best part though...back to school shopping!

But I'm broke. So right now I present to you what I would have gotten if I had money...haha.

Since I commute to school and don't live on/ near campus, I need a bag that can keep up. And by keep up I mean it must be able to carry my books, wallet, makeup (yes you read correctly...makeup), water/food, my planner (I'm old school and write down everything even though I have a Blackberry), and what other crap I pick up throughout the day (I've been known to go shopping at my campus bookstore lol).
This Juicy Couture Canvas Tote looks like it can work wonders, especially since the site boasts "Fit: Extra-large: Holds at least a magazine, water bottle, full-size wallet and sweater. Dimensions: 19"W x 16"H x 4"D." $95
Like I said, I commute. That means I need shoes that won't fall apart on me. I'd love to be one of those college girls that wear cute heels and the like but when you're running across Grand Central Terminal for a train leaving in exactly 1 minute, you need shoes that can help, not hurt, you. But that doesn't mean I'm living in my New Balances. Oh no.
I'd get these babies in not time flat (haha) if I had $200. Cole Haan's "Air Sierra" patent leather ballet flat (left) has a wonderful round toe (I hate pointy shoes) and has Nike Air® that cushions the foot for long-lasting comfort. Juicy Couture's Maxwell flat (right) is just too beautiful to pass up-patent leather and rubber sole for comfort.
The bag and the shoes are the NUMBER ONE essential in my opinion. I could wear clothes from last year but my bag and shoes have to be updated.
So look out for Part 2 of my Back To School post for the perfect jeans, dresses, and my new trend (which I'll keep secret)

Sorry, my english isn't very good.
it would be good if you placed a translator in its blog to facilitate the visits of Brazilians

I know. I can't believe school has just started. It's unbelievable. But the good news is that I only bought one notebook this year for school supplies and since I didn't have to buy all these binders and crap like in high school, I spent the rest on clothes... Ann Taylor Loft is having a good sale starting sometime in September. It's like for every $50 you spend you get $25 so I think I'm gonna rack up again and get like $100 worth of clothes for $50.
