Even though I use my computer, iPad and iPhone for most of my business and photography needs, I still enjoy using a pen and notebook. I love to keep at least one notebook with me at all times. I am constantly writing down my to-do lists, inspirational ideas and general notes about things I want to remember. Whether I am shopping at Target or browsing online, I can’t seem to help but buy another one. These are some of my favorite picks for fun, stylish and smart notebooks.
The Simplified Journal by Emily Ley
I am a huge fan of anything created by Emily Ley. Her simple and yet efficient designs keep my thoughts organized and day running smooth. This notebook is in a journal format and is perfect for keeping track of your thoughts by day. Designed for 100 days, each daily section includes multiple places and prompts to record your big ideas, notes and lists. One of my favorite features is that it lies flat when it is open. Her notebooks and planners are often sold out so if you have to wait for the next round of in-stock items, make sure to check out her free printable library too. $32
