Hello Lovlies,
So as we all hate to admit the new university term is quickly approaching and it will soon be October and I'll be a second year student, so crazy! Although I am nervous I am more excited, 1 year down two to go and I am enjoying every minute with my fashion promotion family. So because of this I have been feeling spendy on stationary bits recently, lately I can't leave a shopping trip without buying stationary. The addiction is real.
But Im guessing you didn't click on this post for nothing, welcome stationary addicts! A post to show you all the pretty stationary and give you a mild excuse to buy more...
Can we just take a moment to appreciate these beauties! I made a beeline for this collection when I saw it in the biggest and best Sainsbury's in Manchester, yes Sainsbury's! I am loving their stationary right now, including a marble and glitter collection (see further in my haul). The quality is amazing for just a supermarket and the bargain price tag! The A5 notebook was £4 and the pack of A4 wallet folders was £2.50! I love this design, it is so me and I will definitely be heading back to Sainsbury's for more as soon as! I have my eye on a beautiful pencil case and more notebooks, of the same pattern. (prepare to see this all over my insta & snapchat)
I got these cuties from the Works for 99p, they are going to be absolutely brilliant as cute page buddies for marking pages. I cant wait to start using them! With sticky backs, and great to write on.
Sadly these are the only ones I could find, but definitely check out your nearest the works shop! Similar here, so so cute!
I also picked up some of the hyped about stationary from Poundworld (not to get confused with the other pound shops) I could only pick up these 2 files as that is all my nearest shop had however I will defiantly keep an eye out for more of this 'premium collection' as the quality for £1 each is amazing!
The 'premium collection' contains folders, notebooks and diaries etc and I have to say I am a little obsessed with the marble one. Its just so pretty! Again for the price you can't really go wrong, these folders will be perfect for the different classes I have at uni and also perfect when handing in essays and projects, just to seem that little bit e x t r a.
Keeping with the ever so pretty marble theme, I picked this notebook up at Primark for £2.50. It was practically calling my name! The marble screamed to me and also the rose gold/copper hardware, on the spine and embossed "notes" on the front of the pad. The paper quality actually isn't bad for the price either, If I can remember they had more marble stationary items in the collection...but I had to draw the line somewhere. I also prefer to stick with A5 notebooks at uni, they can easily fit in your bag and not be heavy! Find it online here.
However I then saw these in Sainsbury's...
Pretty marble and rose gold bulldog (binder clips) for £2!!! Bargain! As I used these a lot in my first year of uni, I thought it would be nice to get some prettier ones instead of just the bogstandard black and silver ones. Think how good these would look binding together a look book or essay...gorgeous! Can you also tell I was sticking with a theme.
Also from Sainsbury's I was clearly feeling a little more jazzy than usual the day I bought this but I still love it (I am really loving Sainsbury's right now).
I must say sainsbury's is my go to for stationary right now, everything is such great quality and really cheap prices. Again I got this in the A5 size (however available in A4 too) because you don't want to weigh your bag down when you can be in all day, sometimes 9am till 5pm and also carrying a MacBook - can get tricky! With all good quality notebooks they have a little folder flap on the inside at the back which I find super helpful as I always have little sheets lying around from lectures and things. And at £5 it really isn't a bad price.
I then happened to accidentally stumble upon Tk Maxx and just had to get myself some more stationary, obviously.
So I picked up this notebook by the brand Fringe, which sadly I cant find anywhere online but defiantly head to Tk Maxx asap! They also had loads of different designs by this brand and the quality is insane, definitely worth more than £5.99. Also how cute is this pattern! It reminded me of those black and white american style notebooks, especially with the little slot for your name on the front. Above shows the lovely attention to detail inside this A5 notebook with a space for the date which is beyond helpful! I am constantly flicking back through my notes to find the date and this will make it so much clearer for me.
I really hope you have enjoyed this little back to uni stationary haul, please comment below or on twitter more pretty stationary I can buy I'd love you're suggestions and feedback! I hope this has been helpful for any of you going back to uni or just starting this September, keep an eye out on Abbey Hearts as I continue the back to uni series with outfit ideas, clothing hauls and uni hacks.
