New job, New Stationery

Although I never need an excuse for new stationery I got a new job (woo) and as i'm starting in October I couldn't resist a little stock up in a particular pastel theme. I also feel like September marks more of a New Year than January, as if the school calendar marks a time for resolution, refresh and change.

My new role's main focus is on branding and content so of course new stationery is needed to get all that organised. But also to help me get my head around a new business and industry. 

First up were these beautiful pastel Stabilo Boss highlighters from Paperchase for £5 which I couldn't resist. They were in the 3 for 2 but I was sensible and only got what I needed, not that itdidn't stop me looking at the pilot fountain pens. 

I also picked up this 'Yes, I Am A Feminist' pen from Paperchase a few weeks back which writes beautifully. It's part of the mechanical ballpoint pen collection and I've been back to pick it up in another style since as i've been using it so much. (Yes I am realising how sad I am getting this excited about pens) 

I also stocked up on fine liners, pukka pads and an incredible offer from tesco that no stationery geek could miss. 30 sharpies for £10 through their back to school offer! The offer has passed now but you can still buy the pack here. And with a beautiful range of colours and thicknesses I cannot recommend it enough. 

My final little treat to myself for getting a new job was a trip to søstrene grene to stock up on their beautiful notebooks. You cannot buy from them online but I highly recommend checking out their beautiful shops for all your homeware needs if there is one near you. Find your closest store here. 

I cannot wait to get my teeth and pastel stationery into a new project and also a little fresh start for myself and a step up! Does anyone else get the September resolution feels?
