pass the stickers

Ok so its probably a bit early to start thinking about 2013 but when the phrase "new diary" and "25% off" are in the same sentence it was all I could do to not walk into Kikki K and see what was on offer. And.......

I stumbled upon the gorgeous cute canvas time planner; it probably helps that I'm really embracing my new love for pink at the moment so it just had to come home with me.  Apart from the ultra cute design it is ideal for managing appointments, storing loose paper and is the perfect one-stop organizer on the go as its small enough to fit in all of my bags for work and day-to-day.  

As many friends of mine know I have a real weakness for stationery especially for journals and diaries so it was hard just picking one from the new 2013 Kikki K range.  

So why do I love it...... Features:

• Canvas outer with cotton lining
• Refillable Pages
• Monthly and Weekly View
• Card Pockets
• Elastic Closure
• Pen Loop and yes I did have to pick up a new pen as well, who could resist.
• Notepad, To Do List, Addresses and Expenses tracker

And yes I know I have all these things in my phone but who can really say no to a place to colour in and really personalize, plus you can still access all the things you want regardless of battery life and WiFi connectivity.

So keep your eyes peeled in your local stores for the cool new stationery coming out over the next few months.

The art of a diary

In this modern world where we have phones, ipad’s, laptops and a thousand and one gizmo’s that tell us where we are and where we should be I am still a big fan of the written diary. Sure it may not be in fashion but for me there is something about actually writing things down that make events more real to me. I guess its like the difference for me shopping using cold hard cash versus eftpos cards. You are more aware of your purchase, not just the bill/statement you get a month later.

In a recent trip to Kiki K – a cool stationery shop near me – I found this groovy diary planner for family’s or in may case office/event manager. With a layout providing a column for each person in your group so you can see what everyone is up to in any given week. And as we are half way through the year its now only $15 which means you can trial it at a discount price. With a week to a opening its nice that you really can see what’s ahead and room for up to 5 ‘people’ there is more than enough room, as well as the much needed address section you can always find the info you need at your finger tips.

Stationery Addict.

Ok so for those of you who know me this will come as no surprise....I AM A STATIONERY ADDICT I proudly stand up and admit that I own way too many pens, pencils, highlighters, post it notes, notebooks, paperclips.

Ok so you get the pitcure...i love stationery; so when I recently received an email from one of my addictions Kiki K I knew it was time to browse and see what's 'needed' for my new job :)
