as long as i can remember, i’ve been able to geek out over office supplies. i’ve spent inordinate amounts of time browsing racks of pencils, paper, binders and notebooks, buying far too much stuff for school first, and my office now. i swear i would be the worst office supply manager ever (i’d just steal everything and stack it up at home). some of you have already called me out on being such a dork about this, but i simply don’t care. in fact, i’ll even share a few of my current favorites with you. perhaps you’ll get the bug yourself?

if you’ve been around for a while, you’ve seen me mention kaufmann mercantile: a superbly curated webshop specialising in, well, the good things in life really. they kindly let me pick a favorite from their office selection, so of course i couldn’t resist these brass number clips.

i’ve also told you about the supercool guys of rad and hungry a while ago (and even before that), who i love to bits. a few months ago, i ordered their canada collection, and boy it did not disappoint. how cool is their packaging and branding, by the way? i love that i’m now part of their rah rah club.

i brought back as many note pads as one can inconspicuously steal from the ace hotel last spring, and it makes me super happy remembering new york whenever i jot down my to do lists on them. the pen was a gift by parker, another brand i’ve been loyal to virtually my entire life. i can still remember my first real pen in school, though it was decidedly less cool-looking than this rubber version.
