    Back-to-school season is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start prepping for the year ahead. On this semester’s shopping list: stylish backpacks, cute dorm decor, playful tech accessories/ gadgets and more items that will help you stay organized and motivated from the beginning of the year through finals.

    Best Backpacks

    The backpack is the ultimate back-to-school staple. It’s the item that you’ll be carrying everywhere, every day, so it’s important to find one that’s not only functional, but also expresses your personal style. Luckily there are plenty of options out there—from colourful knapsacks to chic carryalls and totes, choose a bag that you’ll be excited to carry year-round.

    Dorm Decor

    Moving away from home can be scary, but it’s also a great opportunity for you to cultivate a space that’s uniquely your own. Aside from the essentials (bedding, bath towels, space-saving appliances and more), be sure to add decor items such as desk organizers, photo walls, lights and cute catchalls, to make your space really feel like home.

    Multitasking Beauty

    Build a back-to-school beauty kit that will help you look (and feel) your best during the year. The essentials? Multitasking beauty products (perfect for throwing into your bag for touchups throughout the day), a good base routine that will leave you glowing post- cram-session and a luxe mask to help you decompress on those extra stressful days.
