I am a little obsessed with stationery. The most exciting part of my varsity exams was to buy new pens, highlighters and notepads. And I love cracking open a new diary or notebook at the start of a new year. So it should not surprise you that our latest stationery crush is the Writable from Human Writ.es, a 192 page hardcover notebook with dotted pages.
