I may be 25 years old, but my love for back to school (or work) shopping has yet to die. I realized I have a few work/school supplies I use daily, and I’ve picked up some pretty cute stuff over the past few weeks. Whether your back to the office, back to campus, or working form home like me, here are some of my favorite office essentials!
Backpack:This is embarrassing, but almost every year I buy a new backpack. Every morning I pack up my backpack with my entire life. Coffee, Water, 800 snacks, planner, sweater… you get the idea. To me all of these items are essentials, but pushing my work bag to the limit every day definitely causes wear and tear.
This year I got this adorable backpack from Samsonite. I had had my eye on this one for what felt like months on Macy’s website and it FINALLY went on sale. It has tons of pockets perfect for organization and even a suitcase strap perfect for travel. You can shop here, and here for a slightly different version.
Water bottle: This is an essential for me. I fill this up multiple times a day and this adorable chinoiserie style one from Mana Hydration was a must have this year. The bottle doesn’t sweat so it keeps your bag safe.
Fellow Travel Mug: This might be my favorite one. Its an adorable compact coffee capsule that keeps your drink hot, and your bag safe from stains and spills. I wrote an entire post on my love for this one here, and you can shop it here.
Planner: I live and breathe by my planner. I usually pick out a cute one from TJ Maxx, but I decided to splurge this year on a personalized on from Erin Condren and I am absolutely in love. The customized layout makes it perfect for me.
Blue Light glasses: Everything these days is on the computer which can cause some serious eye strain. My blue light glasses from Eye Buy Direct are an essential item for me spent online.
Travel/Resuable Utensils: I have been making a conscious effort to be more environmentally friendly and a big focus on using reusable products. This set from Amazon is only $9 and has an entire set of cutlery! It fits into your bag easily and comes in a carrying case. Here is a travel friendly version.
Sharpie Pens: I think this might be an unpopular opinion; however, I live and breathe by these pens. I love the way they write and although they’re a bit pricey it’s worth the splurge for me.
Mask & Hand Sanitizer: The newest 2020 essentials. I wrote a short blog post on some of my favorite masks right now which you can read here. These adorable hand sanitizer key chains are the perfect accessory!
My top is old from Zara, but the jeans I just picked up from J.Crew Factory and I love them! Finding white jeans that are not see through can be tough, but these are the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. My shoes are from the Gal Meets Glam x Margaux collab and can be found here.
