In this August bullet journal setup, I’m putting together my spreads for August 2025 with an academia + bricks vibe—think vintage, cozy, and a little bit “old campus library” energy. I walk you through how I pull the theme together so it still feels functional for real life, while keeping that bookish aesthetic that makes me actually want to open my journal every day. If you love warm tones, layered textures, and spreads that look like they belong in a medieval fantasy study room… this one’s for you. I also share the supplies I’m using to get that vintage look—stickers, stamps, washi, and a few little tools that make setup days easier (and, honestly, more fun). If you’re planning your own month, my biggest takeaway is to pick one strong visual “anchor” for the theme (for me, it’s the academia/bricks mood) and then repeat it across your pages so everything feels cohesive without being complicated. By the end, you’ll have plenty of inspo for aesthetic August layouts that still leave room for reading plans, routines, and all the bookish chaos I’m always tracking.
