Hi, my name is Jackie and I have an obsession with school and office supplies. Since it’s tax free weekend, I thought it would be appropriate to share my recent office supply obsessions (great excuse, right?!). August is seriously one of my favorite times of the year because of the abundance of office supply sections in stores. I literally get goosebumps when I walk into Target and I see the hanging large cardboard pencils from the roof; they indicate the aisles and aisles of brand spankin’ new notebooks, pens, highlighters, backpacks and paperclips that are just waiting to be used. The woodsy smell of freshly sharpened pencils is so comforting to me. I blame this obsession on my aunt. She equally has the “school supply disease.” Every year, we would have an office supply shopping weekend; we would literally go to every single store that would offer back to school sales. Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, Walmart, Target, Walgreens, you name it, we would go there. That being said, here are a few of this years favorite finds. It was hard to narrow it down, but I managed.
1. Writing Dudes Safari Gel Pens: These are only available in Target stores (and only $1.40!!!). They write amazingly smooth and have cute animal prints on them! Perfection.
2. Knock Knock Stickies: This brand has funny/cute messages on the top of their stickies. These are nice to remind someone how loved they are 🙂
3. Jonathan Adler Planner: Found this wonderful planner at Nordstrom yesterday! Keeps you chic and organized (plus it has adorable sayings inside).
4.Papermate Flair Pens: So many colors, so little time. You can literally color code your life with these.
5. Page flags: Mark your place in your favorite parts of a book colorfully.
6. These classic Ticonderoga #2 pencils have a new modern twist of neon to them. I approve. (Available exclusively at Target).
7. The Day Designer: this planner was designed for the young entrepreneur. Fashionable and perfect for any woman on the go, whether a student, mommy or both!
8. Agatha Ruiz De La Prada Noteooks: They are my favorite notebooks! The cutest and colorful designs and patterns, and every 50 pages has a different color scheme to it.
This so makes me wish I was still in college! There’s nothing greater than new school supplies to start the year off. It’s even better when they’re cute school supplies like these!
I know girl! It’s so exciting! I’m sad its my last semester 🙁 School supplies keep me motivated to go to school haha
