I’ve kept small notebooks at work for the past 15+ years. To take notes during press calls (helpful for spotchecking mis-quotes), jot down “notable quotes” in product meetings that might be useful for launch positioning, etc. And yes: to write to-do lists during meetings that have run too long (that would be 90% of meetings).
Typically I go with the standard blue or black notebook. But I saw these notebooks in a local store yesterday and had to scoop them up.
The Official Preppy Notebooks.
As a reminder that spring is around the corner, even if the 80s are long gone. They are my little Preppy Handbook memento.
Speaking of — remember braided barrettes? They’ve made a comeback, and even spawned an overly complicated how-to-kit. I specialized in the navy combos, myself. The ribbons looked lovely with braces & glasses.
