Double Dose of Polka Dots - Exams Are Making Me Go Dotty!

This week's double dose of polka dots features some dotty stationary... I've got three exams this week, so with revision and the exams themselves rearing their ugly head, some pretty polka dots will help me survive it all with my sanity in tact... well... almost!

Dose number one - These lovely little shiny happy polka dot pens are from dotcomgiftshop and are a bargain at £1.95! Perfect to accompany me into my exam and keep me going when the clock is ticking and I'm running out of paper and ideas fast!


Dose number two - These lovely polka dot pens from Paperchase have been featured before because I love them so much! They're colourful, they're polka dotty: what more could you want from a pen?!

So if you're among the "lucky" ones with exams, assignments and revision coming up soon, then grab yourself some polka dot pens to keep yourself motivated throughout the exam... and if that fails to happen, at least you'll have something pretty to look at!

Double Dose of Polka Dots - Polka Dot Paperchase!

Well... it's that time people... back to university! It's my first day back today, So I spent the weekend in Leeds city centre visiting stationary shops so I could stock up on all the necessaries to help me survive my final year of university and my final teaching placements! Naturally, polka dots feature heavily in my latest purchases for uni... My bag is polka dot, I have polka dot plastic wallets, diary, notebooks, pencils, and these two latest delights from my favourite stationary store: Paperchase!

Polka Dot Purchase Number One: These lovely polka dot retractable gel pens from PaperChase - £4. It always makes laborious and tedius uni work so much easier when using pretty stationary I think!

Polka Dot Purchase Number Two: This cute little black and white polka dot pencil case from PaperChase's "Cloud 9" range. The perfect dotty case to transport all my lovely pens, pencils, and highlighters.

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!
