It’s planner season, for all the organization and stationery nerds out there. And I am one of those people who orders her next year’s diary a good 4 months in advance. (Hey, I like to be prepared!) But I was concerned when I saw that Smythson had replaced the Soho Cosmic Travel Diary with the 2024 Soho Daily Diary. Was 2024 going to start off on a bad foot already??
It has taken me years to figure this out- but I’ve finally come around to this fact: I need to keep a reminder notebook. There are just too many things to remember in modern life, and I’ve got to write a lot of this stuff down. And there’s a current sale at Smythson on their gorgeous notebooks. So every time you use your reminder notebook, you will get a little buzz from using their lovely paper.
You all may know that I am a Smythson super fan! While I try my best to buy my Smythson notebooks on sale, the sad truth is that they aren’t going to be putting 2023 planners on sale anytime soon. Nevertheless, I placed my order for my planners from Smythson and Hobonichi, and I’ve just received them both. Even though we’ve got 3 months to go in 2022, I’m already excited for next year!
An update from June 2022: The Smythson summer sale has started for 2022. There’s still lots of good stuff– particularly notebooks (my personal favorite!) Also lovely: bags, wallets, all those great accessories Smythson is known for.
And as a little treat, here’s the link to an article on all the famous people who have used their wonderful notebooks over the year. Fun!

Just a quick heads up to let you know that the Summer Sale at Smythson has started (for “Smythson VIPs” like me- ha! proof that anyone can be a VIP if you sign up for their newsletter!) And if you are asking “what’s Smythson?” well, you have a real treat ahead!
Smythson is a legendary British brand of leather goods. They started out in 1887 making beautiful notebooks (and you know how I feel about stationery!) They have branched out to handbags, small leather goods and luxurious items like this.
It’s pretty clear to regular readers of this blog that there are two constants in my life- my love of all things British and my stationery obsession. So you can imagine my excitement when discovering Yard-o-Led pens.
Sometimes it’s the simple things! I’ve stumbled across three terrific new things that I want to share with y’all. And they’re all under $50- in line with my mindful spending plan for 2022. All three are little pick-me-ups that are bringing a smile to my face during the February doldrums.
This is my PSA to all of you to head over to the Smythson website to pick up iconic Smythson notebooks on sale. Smythson has a sale twice a year- winter and summer. And it’s really the only time to pull the trigger on these very expensive notebooks and other leather goods.
Most people have probably not given much thought to planning for 2022. But those of us who are obsessed with stationery and planners have been thinking about 2022 planners for a few months now. Why start in September, you may ask? Because September 1 is the official kickoff of planner season. And I’m making the case for why you should consider getting a Smythson Cosmic Diary.
I don’t need to tell you that I am a stationery nerd. And that I am a big fan of London and pretty much anything British. So it should be no surprise that as I have delved deeper into British stationery, first with Smythson, that I would eventually run across Mount Street Printers.
It has come to my attention that some people (cough, cough, you know who you are) are using crappy Staples spirals for your work notebooks. Let me help you out- it is time to upgrade your work and your life with the best work notebooks Whether you are working from home or trudging back into the office, it’s time to upgrade with a better notebook experience.
