I think we can all agree that beautiful, everyday objects have a way of elevating life. Alissa Bell‘s impeccably designed minimalist modern line of notebooks and stationery embody this mindset completely in the Essentialist Collection. Elegant, clean, and simple, you’ll be sending snail mail and reaching for a notebook rather than your phone to take notes in no time. (She also does custom orders!)

Posted In create, notebooks + journals, paper goods, round up, seriesClean pages are the epitome of a fresh start to me. Whether they’re in a notebook, a journal, a sketchbook, or design program on my laptop. They invite new ideas, big dreams, meticulous plans, and creativity unleashed. So grab yourself a new notebook and get started, because you never know what might be born on its pages.

Posted In create, notebooks + journals, paper goods, round up, seriesHave you picked up your calendar and planner for 2017 or are you in denial that it’s December like me? Okay, that’s not entirely true, I did pick up my planner last week because it’s tough to look ahead when you have nothing to look ahead at.

January and February always leave me scrambling to write down all of the ideas and plans running rampant in my head for the coming year. Not in my phone or in an email draft, but by actually putting pen to paper. Making these thoughts tangible seems to make them more attainable, and I’m not about to mess with that kind of magic!
