It may only be July, but I was always one of those odd kids who looked forward to going back to school as soon as the holidays began - not because I was unusually studious, but because I enjoyed buying all the new equipment so much! When else as a child, do you get to have new shoes and a new bag bought for you?
A bit of that nostalgia must be hitting me today because I'm loving this cross-body 'schoolgirl' bag from Accessorize. Aside from its more grown-up phone compartment, it's everything I would have wanted in a schoolbag, and now I want to stash one away in my wardrobe until I can debut it in September. Available at the pocket money-friendly price of £20 at Accessorize
