Current Obsessions: Back to School
































As many of you may know, I am going back to school next month. With back to school comes shopping, which i will never in my life complain about. I never need a reason to go shopping, but i will also take any excuse that I can get. Having to get prepared to go back to school is what has sparked this current obsessions post.

1. Benefit Posiebalm - i received a sample size of this balm in this months birchbox, and I am head over heels in love. It feels smooth and hydrating on the lips and gives off the prettiest sheer poppy pink color, prefect for summer days. I normally would not spend $18 on a lip balm, but i am going to be making an exception for this one. It will be the perfect shade to have thrown in my college tote for everyday use.

2. Longchamp 'Large Le Pliage' Tote - I have been going back and forth on whether i want to use a book bag or a tote bag for my classes. I am still undecided, i think i may use both from time to time. But i have been drooling over this tote for many months now. It has amazing reviews, it holds up well, it waterproof and it has plenty of room for people like me that feel like you have to carry your whole life with you. it retails for around $145-$160 dollars, which i think is pretty reasonable for a tote of this quality.  however Cory does not, just wait till he hears about the price of the dange dover. 

3. Erin Condren Life Planner - WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? I have done research after research on planners. I am a very organized person and I am a huge huge huge planner, so picking the right planner was a big decision for me. I have decided to purchase the life planner for many reasons, and I could go on and on about this but then i would not be able to do a review on it at a later date so I will not ramble on. However, I will say if you are looking to purchase a planner please do your research on this life planner. I also have a link that  can provided you with $10 off, so if you are interested just shoot me an email! This planner is on the pricey side and there is also tons of customization that you can add on, so every dollar off helps.

4. Dange Dover Tote-  STOP. if you do not want to spend $250 on a tote do NOT go to their website and read about this tote and definitely do not look at pictures. Once you do there is no turning back, you will be sucked in and you will count down the days until it arrives at your door. This tote is a little piece of heaven. I can not wait to see what the new styles and colors will be that will be available at the end of this month.

5. The Fault in Our Stars - I seriously read this entire book in less then two days. I have not seen the movie yet but i can not wait! It was an amazing story of a terminally ill cancer patient that tells about the final chapters of her life. Hazel has no idea that she is about to experience living at a whole new level until Augustus walks into her life. This story will make you cry, laugh, smile, and then cry, laugh and smile some more. It is amazingly written and one of the best books that I have read in years. I am now making it a point to read all of John Greens books. currently reading looking for Alaska. 


What are some of your current obsessions?
