Keep it clean, kids!


When organizing your desk and shopping around for new and beautiful products, some excellent advice is to keep it clean, fresh, and simple. One colour that will suit almost any environment is white, a classic colour that is the epitome of style. Not only is white associated with light, goodness, innocence and purity, but it is considered to be the colour of perfection. White means safety, cleanliness, and can represent a successful beginning. So if you are struggling to get organized, white could be the perfect colour for you!




This beautiful shelf is owned by a very good friend, Samantha. As those of you who know Samantha are well aware, she is not exactly the tidiest little cookie in the cookie jar. HOWEVER, she does have an exceptionally organised and gorgeous shelf here. This shelf not only expresses Samantha's personal style (an important part of creating your workspace, it has to reflect you as a person in able for you to work successfully in it- or at least it is much nicer to work in anyway!) but it keeps all of her important bits and pieces from University and other documents together in places that are easily accessible and clearly labelled. Personal touches here and there take this shelf from blah to beautiful!

Hello stationery lovers!

I am obsessed with stationery. To the point of actually considering starting up a 'stationery lovers anonymous' club, except for the simple fact that I love it too much to ever get round to starting said club. In fact, to make matters worse, I work in a stationery shop which is the equivalent of an alcoholic working in a Liquor Land I tell you! 



This photo is of my beloved (and apparently infamous?) desk and most of these gorgeous bits and pieces are from kikki.K. I am a student at the moment and so my current desk is a watered-down version of what I am dreaming of having in the future (considering the minuscule size and ugliness of the actual desk itself, which in no way does the stationery justice). This blog will feature some of the most beautiful desks around, creative ideas and inspiration, and of course a whole lot of irresistible stationery that is not only practical, but oh so fashionable.
