Back to School Season Has Begun

Princess Know-It-All is back! Sorry for the delay everyone. But just like you, I travel during the summer season too.
      Speaking of the summer season, it is coming rapidly to a close! I know that a lot of you guys are dreading coming back to school, but some of you might be excited too. School may start soon for some of you, like, very soon. But for others it may be later. Either way, you've probably thought about new clothes, new binders, and new backpacks. I know I have. So today I'm going to help you out with a little back to school list and a quick piece of advice!
       Whether you're starting a new school or the same, things will be a bit different when you go back. Maybe you're not as close to your BFF, or maybe you're way closer to your new group of friends. Or maybe you're still close to your BFF but your BFF has a giant crush on the most popular guy in the school. Whatever has happened while you've been off on summer vacay, just remember to be open to new things happening. Whenever I start another school year I always end up making new friends, and usually it's the people who are in some of my classes.
       Here's another piece of advice. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. I recommend doing it as soon as you get home from school, especially if you're nearing the end of middle school or if you're in high school. And look at it this way: if you get it done right away you'll have plenty of time without parents bugging you about it to hang with friends and pick out cute outfits!
      And last but not least, here's a list of your back-to-school essentials, some fashionista essentials, and some of my own recommendations:

1. A backpack. Duh. You can't really go to school without something to carry your supplies, like a backpack or at least a shoulder bag. Backpacks can be a bit expensive, but as long as you use it well parents will usually let you buy a new on after a few years of having an old backpack. However, let me also say that while fashionable backpacks are awesome, also choose one that will last the school year. A cheaply made backpack will not last eight months or so of carrying heavy binders and textbooks.
2. Pencils, paper, erasers, pens, binders, and/or notebooks. Often teachers will give out a list of requirements for the class, but you can almost always assume that you'll need these essential items. For pencils, I prefer mechanical because I've had bad luck with sharpening wooden pencils. Also, you can get them in different colors, and who doesn't love to personalize their pencils?
3. Shoes. Usually you're rocking those flip-flops or other light weight shoes in the summer months, and by fall you've grown out of last school year's shoes! Time to head down to the mall and get some new shoes. Try out those fuzzy boots and combat boots that never seem to go out of style, ankle boots, flat tennis shoes, or ballet flats! You only really need one or two pairs, but I love getting lots of shoes.
4. New clothes. Black or dark gray capris, open front knit sweaters, circle scarves, skinny jeans, and hoodies are some of my favorites. Dresses are making a comeback for everyday style too, and skirts make a great first-day-of-school ensemble. Just make sure there are no school dress code violations!
5. Lotion, lip balm, or other moisturizer products for those dry winter months. No one likes dry skin! Lotion can help with those peeling-skin times and make your skin glow with health, and lip balm is great for those dry lips.
6. Nail polish and outfit accessories! I love nail polish myself. It can really finish off your outfit. I'm not so into accessories like necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, but when I do wear them they totally give me a style boost!

Hope these back-to-school basics help you out with your coming school year. If you have any other school questions please ask! Email me at princessknowitall13@gmail.com, comment on the other page, or tweet your question @royalknowitall on Twitter!
