Back to school

While not everything is decided yet, I have been accepted into graduate school and so will be a student again come fall! I'm very excited to get back to school and back to Europe, but will be sad to be apart from my girl for a year. I am distracting myself by thinking about what I'll pack and what I'll need to buy (nothing if I'm honest with myself, but it's fun to look nonetheless!)

While I love my giant purple purse in which I carry my whole life, I'd love to get a cross-body messenger type bag for carrying papers and books too and from class. Thus, my latest obession:

15" Navy Satchel

15" Red Batchel

Gorgeous, right? They're from the Cambridge Satchel Company and come in a few sizes and colors, including rich browns and a gorgeous kelly green. I am dying for the navy one as a practical school bag/laptop case/briefcase, but love the Madeline-esque flair of the red one and the 60s-mod feel of the kelly green.
