Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On which notebook should house my next journal. Do I go with a trusted paper or a new-to-me notebook manufacturer? Graph or dotted or lined or blank or reticle or … Good thing this week’s blogosphere is replete with paper reviews.

I’m carrying a serious look into the coming week. Three pens in black and white and chrome. One’s suit pants, suit jacket and shoes. A white and black Visconti. One’s dress shirt. The Cypress’ muted earth tones serve as one’s classic leather watch band. And a tangerine Sailor for a pop of memorable color. Or, as my old roommate used to say: always wear one piece of clothing that doesn’t match.

Fellow stationery bloggers are wonderful resources when I’m bereft of creative currently inked plans. Some of my favorite post series highlight how folks apply their currently inked outfits. I often see my own collection in a new light after reading“what I’m using” posts. I come away with ideas for my own new combinations. And, of course, stepping into someone else’s world for a bit is worlds of fun.
