Just a List Wednesday: Put it on Paper

I love technology; the internet is kind of my life. I love my phone, twitter, tumblr, feedly, blogging, and animal crossing and I have no clue what my life would be without technology. Even though I love using my phone and laptop for almost everything, I just can't use them for dates and lists. I have to write down what I'm doing in the upcoming days and weeks in a planner and I have to use, so I'm going to be recommending my favorite planners/ notepads/ writing utensils for all of your planning and list making needs!

agenda // legal pad // legal pad // pens

1. Lilly Pulitzer Agenda: I have been using Lilly Pulitzer's large agendas for two years now and I love them. The have the perfect amount of space for writing in homework for all seven of my classes, plus more space for writing in extracurricular activities or other events before or after school. There are weekly and monthly sections so you can see the whole month ahead of time or just the week in advance. Lilly agendas are by far the best agendas I have ever used. $28; Lifegaurd Press

2. Poppin Legal Pad: I may have a slight obsession with legal pads. Poppin's legal pads have an adorable cover and I love how they have actual sections for the title, date, and number of the page. I might like them so much because these headers remind me of the lab notebooks we use in Biotech. (Can you tell I'm a science nerd yet?) $16 for 10; Poppin

3. Ampad Legal Pad: Even though this legal pad isn't as ascetically pleasing as the Poppin one, I like using this one more. It pretty much has the same headings as the other legal pad, but all of the lines are numbered on both sides (!) of the page, so I like using these more. $2.99; Amazon

4. Paper Mate Pens: My friend has these pens and I love them so much. I tried the Ink Joy 300 pens and they were too thin for me and ran out of ink way too quickly. I like writing with thicker pens, so I love these. They write smoothly and come in a variety of colors, which is good for taking notes. $16.49; Staples

That's all for my favorite papery products! If you have any products you just love to use when writing, leave them below!

Are you a paper or phone person when it comes to planning?

Wishlist Wednesday- Backpacks

I am in desperate need of a new backpack because mine cannot hold all of the textbooks and binders I need to take home. Because of this conundrum, I have made this week's wishlist backpack themed!

--

campus // little america // heritage

1. Campus Backpack: This looks like it would actually be comfortable on my back while I am lugging around thousands of pounds worth of books and binders. I'm also loving the pops of orange and hounds tooth on this backpack. $109; Vera Bradley

2. Little America Backpack: I love the color combination of bright salmon (Is that what that color is called? Please inform me if there is an 'official' name for it because I'm making stuff up right now.) and khaki on this backpack, but I'm not sure about its height. It looks like it would be really tall and would be awkward for me to carry around, considering I'm extremely short. $99.99; Herschel Supply Co.

3. Heritage Backpack: I love the classic look of this backpack, but I don't know if it will be any bigger than my current backpack since my current one has a similar shape. I'm loving the yellow and brown color combination. $54.99; Herschel Supply Co.

Which backpack do you think I should get or do you have any backpack suggestions?

Wishlist Wednesday- Household Edition

I walked into the bathroom I share with my siblings a few days ago and decided I needed to clean it. Immediately. It was pretty disgusting, but it sparked the idea for this post. So, here are my favorite household items I've found online!

ring holder // trinket dish // pillow // dishes // salt & pepper shaker

1. Ring Holder: I don't have too many rings, but I do have a bunch of completely random odds and ends, like hair ties, bobby pins, extra earrings, and other small things that I always leave in huge drawers in the bathroom, so this cute little elephant would be great! $68; Jonathan Adler

2. Trinket Dish: This adorable crossword themed dish (which matches the coffee mug I'm coveting) would be great on a coffee table, desk, or even at a table by the front door to throw keys, loose change, or even a spare pen. $50; Kate Spade New York

3. Pillow: I love this pillow because I envy the fact that Carly (College Prepster) lives in New York and she makes it sound so magical. She makes me really want to live in the city, so this is a cute reminder of my semi-dream of living in New York. $98; Jonathan Adler

4. Dishes: I love animals, so of course, when I saw these dishes, I fell in love. How amazing would it be to be able to eat off of a set of Dachshund-themed dishes? $50; Kate Spade New York

5. Salt & Pepper Shakers: I feel like I might have a thing for elephants, considering this is the second elephant on my list! Having shakers the color of salt (white) and pepper (black) would help me remember which shaker has which, since I learn best using colors. $30; Kate Spade New York

If you could get one thing for your house this week, what would it be?
