stationery haul 2016

Hello!

I'm absolutely obsessed with stationery, even when I have no use whatsoever for things like year diaries or planners as I don't do anything during the school year! Recently I was given/ bought a lot of new stationery for Christmas, and as I have little use for it than to take pictures of it all and talk about how pretty it is, I reckoned I'd do just that! If you fancy doing a spot of shopping of any of these products, all items (if possible!) are linked to the online store. Happy reading!

Of everything I own stationery-wise, my definite favourite are notebooks. I'm always needing to write something down (or at least that's what I tell myself when attempting to justify the amount I spend on notebooks alone) and they just look way too pretty on display that I can't resist buying them! This white one is an A5 lined Moleskine from Paperchase; because of the big brand it is rather pricey (£15) but it's so gorgeous and it's definitely my favourite one I've ever bought. It is sold plain, I added a sticker from Sighh (a store that is definitely going to have a mention on here soon) The patterned one is from Tesco, it was a gift but it's super pretty and girly and quite unique, too.

Some things that get a great deal of use, especially at exam time, are coloured pens and highlighters. I'm a visual learner, and plus I just prefer colourful notes to boring textbooks. My Sharpie highlighters came in a massive set and have lasted so long, but what I loved is that they came in 5 colours so I can go to town with rainbow cue cards! Also a gift were these fineliners, which are ideal for colouring as well as writing. Stabilo do mini versions of their fineliners that are just so cute and fantastic for fitting in blazer pockets/pencil cases.

Speaking of pencil cases, my family proved that they know me all too well when they got me this London Underground-themed set from Paperchase! I admit tin-style pencil cases can be annoying when taken to school as they tend to rattle but everything matches and it's all so cute! (I have a teeny bit of shame in admitting that I squealed a little when opening this...) The highlighters are my favourite!

I had a gift card for WhSmith, and again let out a small yip of excitement when I saw the gorgeous diaries they had in there! Being in my GCSE year and seeing that my school doesn't have a planner (like what school doesn't have a planner for goodness sake?) I took it upon myself to get my life on track with a diary that would be much cuter than any school planner. After much deliberation, I decided on a deep pink coloured pocket-sized one with a day to a page, this was £8 and I adore it. No one who knows me would say that the colour was necessarily very 'me', and I surprised myself in wanting something as vibrant as pink, but the colour, texture and pattern combo just won me over entirely.

Finally, I was given these little post-it markers. Aren't they just adorable?! Unfortunately I don't know where they're from but I have rabbits, storybook characters and arctic animals... what more could a girl want?

So that was (a glimpse of) my stationery collection, if you would like to see more posts like this in the future do let me know in the comments.
See you next time!
