Sukie Flower Notebook

Spotted this charming notebook in the latest LMNOP magazine, and immediately fell in love, as it’s the perfect spring notebook. The cover illustration makes me want to carry it everywhere.

World Ruler Notepad

Completely in awe of this notepad. Each sheet is a 15 cm ruler with a scale of 1:100, 1:200, and 1:500. Simply spectacular. From AGUA, available in a limited edition of 10,000, and spotted at Upon a Fold’s eshop. I want one.

Paris Fashion Week – Stella McCartney

Very impressed with the Stella McCartney show, full of fun + wearable clothes. My only hope is that the skirts end up a tad longer at retail, as unlike the models, my thighs are not smaller than my knees. See the entire collection at Style.com.
