Mini Haul : Stationery Edit

I am currently studying again and due to the change in my life, that meant that all new equipment needed to be acquired.

Any excuse for shopping :).

I have posted my (mini series) Back to School wish lists here on my blog.
If you haven't seen them, here are the links, take a look :

1. Stationery

2. Uniform

3. Bags

I wanted to conclude things properly (you see what studying does, brings back all your English literature techniques) and show you what back to school stationery items I have added to my life.

Back to School : Bags III of III

I could not do a back to study clothes and bag post together.
They each need their own time to shine.
So for this post I will be focusing on back to school/study appropriate bags. And we all know I feel about bags :)

Back in the day when I was at school, before the beginning of the new school year I would trawl up and down Oxford Circus in search of a mini Nike backpack.

Who remembers these......Memories!

This bag would hold it all, the anthology, your exercise books, diary, pens, hair gel, brush, sweets and panda pops lol. The good old days. I literally had these backpacks in so many colours and designs. My favourite I found in a Nike shop in France which was teal blue, with a see through grey bottom. Yes please.

Now I am older, know better and need more space for things, I have more age and personal style appropriate options. Any excuse for shopping eh.

Back to School : Uniform II of III

In sticking with the back to school traditions, there are some things which I have carried over from my many years at school. One of which is the use of a uniform. Not a school uniform per say, but I like to try to have in my head, what clothes I will be wearing to attend school. This helps me to not wear out my good clothes (remember those?) and help to limit those - I have nothing to wear moments in the morning.

It does not take much or anything really for me to create wishlists, mental notes and saved items of all the gorgeous clothes I wish to add to my wardrobe.
Especially now the weather is a-changing I mean it's just wishlist central around here.

So here are a few pieces I would like to add to my wardrobe and/or will be wearing for my return to school.

Back to School : Stationery I of III

To kick off my 3 part mini Back to School series, I wanted to start with non other than the school/study essentials : Stationery.
I am quite nerdy when it comes to stationery. I like particular pens, paper, notebooks, notepads the works. I just feel like they help my brain to focus. At school before a new term my mum and I would pop to WHSmith and get all new pens, pencils, maths sets, folders etc for school. We all would sit there in class on the first day back, looking well proud when we pulled out our new pencil cases. However usually for me after about two weeks, I would be that pupil that would always be asking to borrow a pen, rubber, pencil, ruler, highlighter, sharpener everythang lol.

I am going back to study this Autumn/Winter and I'm really looking forward to it. As with any new thing that means new equipment is usually needed. [I.e shopping]. Doesn't it?

So as quite the stationery lover I have created my stationery wish lists below.
* Nerd alert*

Back To Life, Back To The Study Room

Hey guys,

A little life update for you all.

I am going back to school.
Well I think it sounds a little more age appropriate to say 'back to studying'?

At 26 years of age with a little one under my wing, I will be studying 3 different courses that will take me through to next year.

I attended three different colleges, studying a range of subjects and found it quite difficult in college, to find a subject that I loved and wanted to pursue further.

I did study while working in my previous job, while I was pregnant too and managed to come out the other end with 3 qualifications; so I have restored some faith back in myself regarding studying.

I am hoping for the best and would like to thank this blogging world for helping my brain to work again - putting words together, grammar, spelling you name it.

I am a mix of excitement, anxiousness and nerves about studying again as I want to do well. I just have to keep my head down, keep focused and something which I learnt a little later on in life, always ask for help if needed. I will also miss spending time with my little man, however I am able to go back to study in the evenings, thankfully.
I'm sure Cai and Mal will revel in having even more boy time, to play fight and chase each other around the house lol.

I will still be blogging every Monday, Thursday and Sunday, hopefully with some updates here and there as to how I am getting on.

However, we all know that usually change and shopping go hand in hand, so (hangs head) I have a few wish lists and possible haul posts coming for you guys, all back to study appropriate, keep your eyes peeled.

What was your favourite subject when studying?
