BACK TO SCHOOL HAUL | GRADUATE SCHOOL STYLE

In less than a month, I will be moved in to my new apartment in downtown Boone and preparing myself for my first semester as a graduate student.  I am so excited!  My sister and I recently went on our annual shopping excursion to Southpark Mall in Charlotte.  I picked up a few things in preparation for this new chapter in my life and wanted to share them with you all.  Let's dive right on into this haul!

Nordstrom is one of my favorite stores to shop in!  There is not a Nordstrom in the mall in my hometown, so I am always excited to shop in this store when I have the chance.  The first item I came upon was this beautiful bar necklace that has a stone in it from BP accessories.  The color of the stone is a light pink and I thought it would just look perfect with my wardrobe for the fall.  I wear a lot of neutral colors and light pink always looks good with neutrals, providing a tiny pop of color!  I love all of the accessory options from BP and definitely recommend checking them out!



I have been on the hunt for a new bag for the fall and for graduate school.  My current purse is worn out!  I had my eyes on the Madewell bag for months, but when I walked into Nordstrom, I found a similar bag for more than half the price of the Madewell bag.  The bag is all black on the outside and brown on the inside.  This bag is also reversible, which can come in handy if I ever want to carry it on the brown side!  It is extremely spacious which is perfect for carrying an agenda, makeup, a wallet, sunglasses, and a notebook for clinic.  I am so excited to switch over to this new bag!  Click here to purchase this bag!



Anthropologie was our next stop and I found some much needed items!  The first item I picked up is an agenda for the 2016-2017 year.  Agendas are something I cannot live without.  I write everything down, assignments, work, class times, days I record and film for youtube, days I work on my blog, etc.  Without an agenda, I am completely lost and overwhelmed.  I have always been obsessed with the Lily Pulitzer agendas because they are so great, but this year I wanted to break out of my box and try something new.  I purchased the new ban.do agenda from anthropologie.  I am already in love with this agenda and it is so aesthetically pleasing.  I would definitely check out this agenda if you are looking for an affordable one!  Click here to purchase this agenda!



While I was in anthropologie, I HAD to pick up one of the Capri Blue candles in the scent Volcano! Oh my goodness!  If you have never smelled one of these candles you are missing out.  I swear it is the best smelling candle I have ever owned and I continuously burn them!  They make my apartment smell delicious.  Click here to purchase this wonderful candle!  You will not regret this purchase!



H&M was next on our list of stores to browse!  While I was in there, I found two gray tops!  One is a basic tee that I can throw on with jeans and booties for a casual outfit!  The other is this really unique long-sleeve sweater for colder nights in Boone!  Both of these are very basic items I can add to my wardrobe and pair with many different pieces of clothing!



We ventured over to LUSH and I was completely overwhelmed by the wonderful smell!  I have so many bath bombs left from Christmas to use and because I only have a stand-up shower in my apartment, I steered in a different direction with the Lush products.  I have always been wanting to try a face mask by lush, so I decided to purchase the Mask of Magnaminty.  I am so excited to try this new mask!  Click here to purchase this product!



Our last stop was Urban Outfitters.  If you know me, you know how much I love Urban Outfitters.  I could spend hours in that store!  My favorite thing to browse in Urban is their home accessories and beauty items.  I stepped out on a limb and purchased one of their perfumes by Adorn EDP and I have to say I am slightly obsessed with the scent.  It is the perfect mixture of sandalwood, moss, and suede.  And the name of it is Tiger's Eye | Strength, so it must be awesome!  I hope I can try more of the perfume scents because this one is incredible! Click here to purchase this product!



I am so excited for this new semester to start and am ready to learn more about becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist!  I hope you all enjoyed this haul!  Please leave a comment with what you are buying for back-to-school!  I would love to hear about it!  Thank you all so much for reading!
