Blogging Supplies

If you're anything like me, you need organisation (even if it's organised chaos) and when it comes to blogging, it's no different. I need somewhere to write all my blogging ideas down, and a folder in which to keep all my correspondence from bloggers and brands alike. I am a huge stationary fan, and you can always find me looking at pens, journals, paper… where ever I go, so you can imagine that Paperchase keeps me occupied for hours. The journal is a purchase from Paperchase, and it caught my eye almost immediately, although my best friend will be testament to the fact that I did have a good wander around for a good half an hour before going back to the first journal that I saw (typical, right?). It's wide ruled, which isn't what I originally wanted (I'm a narrow rules girl, usually) but this works for me now. My journal is full of scribbles, ideas, swatches and plans for upcoming blog posts, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It has lists of products, websites, prices and reviews, some fully or half written. 

Aforementioned folder, if you recognise the print, is Orla Kiely, which I bought from TK Maxx solely for the reason of keeping myself and my blogging organised, and it does the job very well. It has several slots for paper and other such things, like pages torn from magazines and cards with beauty ideas on them from Boots, Debenhams etc. The Print clashes in a wonderful way with my journal, but since they both contain organ in their colour schemes, I think it works. Another little purchase from Paperchase were paper bookmarks, which I think are always handy when browsing a magazine, or just to jot something down very quickly, and can be slotted very easily into my journal, and can be moved numerous time, but can also be stuck in with the one ended tacky bottom on the bookmark. It's been printed with butterflies and flowers on it, and it makes a wonderful addition to my little blogging supply. 

The last additions to my blogging supplies post will be the pens and pencils, which were impulse purchases from The Works (I blame the wonderful jewels at the end of them) but I'm so glad that I did buy them, as they're lovely and look quite darling when they're in a little pencil pot on my desk (I say pencil pot, it's just a glass from Ikea) and I find that these, all together, form quite a lovely little basic supply, which I'm sure I will add to over time. After all, who doesn't need more stationary?
