As we move from sunny summer days to structured routines of the school year, I thought it would be fun to share a peek of what’s in my bag.
Whether you’re a student, teacher, or parent, having a well-curated bag can make all the difference. Here are my essentials for the Back to School season, blending functionality with a touch of elegance.
A beautifully designed planner is a must for staying organized and on top of your schedule.
My go-to is the Focus Planner, which combines style with practicality.
Protecting my tech is essential, and this Chic Leather Laptop Sleeve does the job while looking effortlessly stylish.
I love using these Le Pens for jotting down notes and ideas.
They write smoothly and come in a variety of colors.
Staying hydrated is key, especially during busy days.
The Brumate Water Bottle keeps my drinks cold for hours and fits perfectly in my bag.
For those spontaneous bursts of inspiration, I always carry a Moleskine Classic Notebook.
It’s perfect for sketching designs or taking quick notes.
Never worry about your devices running out of battery with this Charmast Portable Charger.
It’s compact and powerful, ideal for on-the-go.
With all the handwashing and sanitizing, a good hand cream is a must.
The Salt & Stone Hand Cream keeps my hands soft and moisturized.
These essentials help me stay organized, inspired, and prepared. What’s in your bag for this Back to School season? Let me know in the comments below!
Stay inspired and happy designing!
Best, Ashley
