As summer begins to wind down, it’s time to prep for back-to-school season. To make the transition as easy as possible, we’ve curated a selection of must-have fashion, beauty, home and tech finds for the upcoming school year.
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 décor items such as desk organizers, photo walls, lights and cute catchalls, to make your space really feel like home.
