The Elle website features eleven favorite notebooks (with a wee mention of a review by yours truly), including Moleskine, Smythson, the Shopsin Diary, and the oh-so-high-school Trapper Keeper– who knew it’s been revived as a trendy accessory!

40% off coupons at Borders are indeed dangerous!
Moleskine, Doane, and Rhodia… A little much? « Cat’s Jot Spot.
You might recognize these as one of the “7 Not-Boring Notebooks” I linked to a while back. They were featured at Jayson Home & Garden as “Bleeker Notebooks“, but they’re also sold by, and perhaps made by a French company called Astier de Villate. It’s probably easier and cheaper to buy them from Jayson, but [...]
I don’t often go to Target, so when I recently did, I was excited to see what sorts of funky stationery they might offer. They had a nice section of colorful notebooks and office supplies, all at very reasonable prices. But of course, the items I purchased ended up being my usual plain black 3.5 [...]
