7 Back To School Essentials

Here are seven non-essential items I think are essential to have for back to school!



1. A Good Water Bottle
I am someone who can not live without a water bottle during the school day and those days that I do forget a water are absolutely miserable because we all know that I would rather die from dehydration than drink out of the mono infested school water fountains. Now that I drive myself to school I will be keeping a case of waters in the back of my car for days like that. I love my Lilly Pulitzer Swell bottles which sadly, were limited edition and are no longer sold. But I do love this Swell water bottle (and a monogram sticker would look really cute on it). If you don't want to spend the money on a Swell Walmart sells Swell look-a-likes for under $10, I also found that Tuesday Morning has cute inexpensive metal water bottles.

2. The Perfect Backpack
Having a good backpack that is roomy but also screams "you" is so important! It's important to have a backpack that has enough room for all of your stuff and is good quality. In the past couple of years I have been using Jadelynn Brooke backpacks and I love them!

3. Chapstick That Actually Works
Chapstick is a struggle for me. My lips are always chapped and I hate it. I recently started using Burt's Bees chapstick and it actually works! My favorite one is the medicated one but my dad purchased it for me and can't remember where he did so I have no clue where you can buy it but if you find it somewhere I recommend purchasing it.

4. A Comfy Jacket
I talked about this in my Back To School Wardrobe Essentials post but had to share it again. Jackets are so important during the school day because if your school is anything like mine, you will freeze your way through the day without one. My favorite jacket for school is this fuzzy North Face.

5. An Emergency Kit
Whether you're in need of a ponytail holder or lotion, an emergency kit is good to keep in your bag. In mine I keep chapstick, tissues, makeup remover, a small brush, ponytail holders, bobby pins, lotion, perfume, and hand sanitizer.

6. A Good Pair of Headphones
At my school we have had a bring your own device policy in the past couple of years where you can use your device in class to listen to music and things like that and in the upcoming year we will all have laptops at school so headphones/ ear buds are a necessity. I'm not one to spend a lot of money on headphones just because I don't think the quality is much better so I use Lilly Pulitzer ear buds that I received for Christmas or the ear pods that came with my iPhone.

7. The Perfect Planner
I have talked about the importance of a good planner many times on my blog (you can click here to read about a couple of the planners I've tried out and you can click here to see how I've organized my planner in the past). For me a planner is an essential for back to school just so I don't forget everything I have going on in my crazy life.

Those are a few of my back to school essentials I hope they helped you to prepare for the new school year! You can use my code SLMHS for 15% off the Jadelynn Brooke items I mentioned in this post.

It rained the entire Memorial Day Weekend here so I spent the long weekend watching movies. Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actress so I spent the weekend binge watching classic movies starring Audrey.

My 21st Birthday + XOXO Dining Room Review

Last month I celebrated my 21st birthday at one of the most Instagramable restaurants in Dallas! If I were a restaurant, I'd definitely be XOXO Dining Room. From the pink building, to the picture-worthy garden, to the DJ's music selection, it could not have been a more perfect place to celebrate my 21st. 

Two Ways to Style Lilly Pulitzer During Winter

As you can probably guess I love Lilly Pulitzer. The bright fun prints are my favorite but they aren't quite suitable for winter. I would wear my Lilly shift dress everyday if I could but when it's 40 degrees outside a shift dress isn't weather appropriate. I came up with two ways to wear your Lilly during winter without freezing or looking out of place in your bright clothes.

Abercrombie Winter Sale

I recently discovered how amazing Abercrombie jeans are, just in time for their 50% off sale! I've rounded up a few of my favorite pieces in the sale, along with my new favorite jeans from there. 

Pinterest Outfit Recreation: Styling a Flannel

  I was cleaning out my closet earlier this week and realized just how many flannels I have. I love them but I don't wear them anymore. I don't love the look of just a button flannel and skinny jeans, it gives me flashbacks to my eighth grade wardrobe... Naturally, I went to Pinterest for some outfit inspiration so that I can start giving my flannel shirts some love again.
