Back-to-School Shopping at Beachwood Place

August 17, 2018 by Rachel 24 Comments

This being my first year sending a child to Kindergarten, I felt vastly unprepared for the amount of Back-to-School shopping that I would need to do. I mean, I had heard from plenty of mom friends that BTS shopping was intense; but it wasn’t until I got Ari’s school supply list that I finally understood what this whole BTS thing was all about.

Honestly, the actual school supplies were easy. But when it comes to buying clothes for a growing boy, I wanted to make sure my money would go as far as possible.

Since I would be dragging three children with me, I decided to plan one centralized shopping trip. Beachwood Place has helped so many generations of students go back to school in style so I knew I could find timeless but trendy staples to meet all of our BTS requirements.

We were lucky enough to be present for a fun afternoon for the whole family! Cat Coquillette was in center court for a hand-lettering workshop for both adults and kids! While I wasn’t able to participate myself (hello, cranky newborn!) it was really fun watching everyone create amazing hand-lettered art of their very own!

While my kids participated in the hand-lettering workshop, I snacked on some guac and chips from Bomba Tacos + Rum (which just opened their new Eastside location).

Then we got back to shopping. And guys? I got so. many. good. deals! Like, so many. I shopped at Hannah Anderson, Gap, Zara, Children’s Place, Dillards, and H&M and only spent — wait for it — $206!

The only thing I got full price was a pair of Native Shoes for each of the kids. Everything else was a steal! And the bonus? There’s currently a free Good Vibes gift with your purchases at Beachwood Place! The more you spend, the more gifts you receive — starting at just $50!

I’m honestly impressed with how well I did on my first back-to-school shopping trip, but I’m also grateful to have such a great shopping destination so close to home.

What’s your favorite aspect of

shopping at Beachwood Place?

    Back to school shopping was always so much fun when I was a kid. I love the new clothes and more importantly the new school supplies. Just the smell of a fresh box of crayons and pencils means fall is coming!

    School shopping is always fun Majorly because of the new clothes and creative things that we could add to our collection. I used to love shopping then.

    I loved back to school shopping when I was younger. My kids wear uniforms to school now so it isn’t as fun.

    I can’t believe you spent $206 and got all that stuff! Way to go, mama! I love shopping at Children’s Place – their summer sale is really good right now. I got sandals for next year for 3 bucks.

    Beachwood Place looks very similar to some malls here in Chicagoland. I love back to school shopping and getting great deals!
