Paperchase - easing the pain of essays and exams!

For any student out there, you will no doubt be feeling the stress and strain of assignments, essays, research projects and looming exams. I definitely feel like I have spent the majority of the past two weeks with my nose in hundreds of books and articles armed with a polka dot notepad and a neon-yellow highlighter. There was only one thing for it... for me to take a little trip on the train into Leeds city centre to check out the new Paperchase shop that has opened to beautify my meagre stationary collection.

I love these cute little robot pencils, perfect for doodling in the margins when the reading and essay writing gets too much!

Love this pink "food friends" pencil case.

These cute little highlighters are perfect for exam preparation and assignments, when I will be wading through tons of reading... (and trying to make sense of it all!)

As a little treat to myself, when I do get to the light at the end of the tunnel, after assignment deadlines and exams, I'm going to buy myself this lovely little "travel buddies" scrapbook to document all the wonderful things I will be doing on my little Italian road trip!
