The final countdown has begun! We are officially about a week away from the start of the new school year here in New York City. This means that lots of last minute shopping for supplies and uniforms will take place between now and then.

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Pounce.mobi. However, all opinions expressed are my own. I have always been someone who has preferred the convenience of shopping online instead of shopping at stores.
