Oh My Valentino: "2cool4school"

A new year of school/college is fast approaching and whether you're glad or filled with dread, unfortunately we have no choice but to grin and bare it. So, we thought we'd write a post to make sure your first term begins with a bang and a little more style. Whether you're lusting after some cute shoes or a funky backpack, we hope we can give you a helping hand in making education a little less "boring and dull" and to ensure that this year you really are '2cool4school'.

Rucksackin' galore:

A new bag for a new year was always an essential for us, I mean you can hardly carry your bits and bobs in plastic carriers can you? Rucksacks are very much in and a classic for a 'Back to School' choice and with our favourite picks from the latest trends, you can not go wrong:

Two's Company:

Loafers are the perfect shoe for Autumn/Winter and every year, without fail they make a star appearance and there's no doubt why. They're so versatile and comfortable to wear, they go with pretty much everything. Whether they're for formal-wear or everyday, you really should invest in a pair for school or college.

Book Worm:

For any student, a notebook or planner is always a main essential. Whether it's for homework, jotting notes down or for doodling at break every child needs one so why not buy one that's extra cute and stylish because why not?

Eating pretty:

Our favourite time of the school day for us was definitely lunch time, an hour of freedom to fill up our bellies with ahem, the not so healthiest of foods...so why not scoff your face whilst sitting pretty with the cutest lunchboxes going?
