THE BEST BACK-TO-SCHOOL BUYS FOR LITTLES
It doesn’t matter how old I get or the fact that it’s been over a decade (!) since I was a student myself, I’ll always love the beginning of a new school year and the feeling (equal parts exciting and scary!) that it brings. I’m channeling my excitement into – what else? – a little shopping. Below, a hit list with all the best back-to-school buys – from personalized packs and lunchbox essentials to adorable accessories (new year, new kicks!) and more.
