It arrived in the post like this: Which opened to this: A beautiful Smythson Pocket Notebook, with a lambskin cover, à la my recent WANT LIST post. It’s pretty lovely… Read more »
Until a few days ago, I’d never really thought about this before, but I noticed I have a very definite way in which I use notebooks. I’m going to name it the Mullet technique, i.e. business in the front, party in the back. When I say party though, I kind of just mean messy… I… Read more »
