Fashion Style Notebook Part 1

Hey all. As some of you already know I love me some fashion. I just always have ever since I was a little girl. Playing dress up and Barbie's were my life back then. When I was about 11 or 12 I became a magazine addict. I mean a really bad one too. First there were the Cosmos my mom used to find at the airport she worked at. Then I went to more age appropriate mags like Teen People, YM, Twist, Seventeen, Cosmogirl; you get the drift. Around this time I also started scraping notebooks for my fav band at the time; BSB. As well as scraping just for fun. Cutting up my magus. And from there on I continued to cut and paste.

Website of the week: Katespaperie.com

Hello and happy Thursday. I really really enjoy finding websites that have nice things that I feel as though I can share on here. I do not receive any promos for these sites and I post things on my blogs because I like that or they look nice to me. Well I found a site called Katespaprie.com. This site has the cutest notebooks I have ever seen in my life. Notebooks and journals like these make me want to write in a journal everyday.

My latest journal is my Affirmations/Quotes/Gratitude journal. Where I state nothing but positivity. When I write in my actual journal, it can sometimes be a little bit negative or sad. So I was watching "organizelikejen" my fave youtuber right now, and she said how she writes ina a gratitude journal to help her stay balanced. After I realized how much better you can feel writing nothing but positive things it changes your view on life completely. Like today I got a quote from REV RUN's daily word. "We must learn to trust Gods mighty hand! God has more than enough to help everyone. Remember. When you're down to nothing God's up to something!" Sometimes when I feel like things are not going so well, I'll say something like that to boost me up. Or write them down in my journal. I just really want a new journal though :). And Katespaperie.com is the place I will go to get it.

My wish list prices range from $ 20.00 to about $50.00. There are just so many notebooks on the site that are just too cute for words.
Happy shopping

Notebook, and binders, and more o my!! (on a budget)

As I blogger earlier, I use a notebook and a binder to store/organize my time and projects. I forgot to mention I also have other notebooks, 1 for my hair journey and another for my jewelry business.
There is no need in spending an arm and a leg on a note book or a binder. They sometimes get ruined by weather or just everyday wear and tear. By all means if you have the funds to purchase expensive note books and binders, esp made for time management projects, then go on an buy what YOU feel works for YOU. Find websites and more after the jump...


I do love nice things such as notebooks. Esp ones you have to travel with that are just so pretty. But I stay in a budget when it comes to certain things. Places like Target, Borders, Barnes and Nobles, Walmart, or even JC Penney's sell very inexpensive branded notebooks. But the most underrated store that has every type of notebook, would have to be the Dollar Store. Any of those Valuemarts, or Value Plus or Dollar Tree. Any stores as such have very nice notebooks. Below I made a list of prices and ideas for storage as well.

So I use a binder to compact all of my notebooks together, but you can store your notes and projects any way you like. Some use a huge notebook that can be separated into tabs, or you can use a binder with dividers. Since the binder I use is very large, it is just used for at home use only and the smaller notebooks or organizers are used for on the go things. Like the market or a Home Depot trip. Check out these ideas for a binder or notebook.

Less than $20.00

**Items found at Staples, Greeting Stores, JCpenney, and Vera Bradley (love love them)

More than $21.00

Marc Jacobs note book very convenient, and it's Marc Jacobs need we say more.

Say what!!

Smythson notebooks can go anywhere from $40.oo up to$ 500.00, they can be found on Barneys.com

Along with notebooks and binders, it is best to have dividers with little tabs on the end for the bigger notebooks or binders. Vera Bradley has some notebooks that come with tabs already.
labels, label makers, extra pens (the dollar store usually don't last that long ). Clipboard, index cards, pencils, pencil sharpeners. Sticky notes, they come in handy when you are traveling. Calenders, sharpie markers w/fine tips, tape, paper clips and binder clips, pouches. I also carry clear plastic folders with pockets for my coupons.

Hope all this helps you out. Thanks for reading.
Stay blessed
