Fashion Forward - Gridiron Gang

Brace yourself; I'm about to geek out. Remember how fun back-to-school shopping was? The end of summer was always made manageable knowing that fresh pencils, crisp, college-ruled paper and the chicest Trapper Keeper were in my future. Lately, I've been evoking my studious self by hunting for new, stylish notebooks. You see, I'm taking this little class, and I'm convinced my performance is directly tied to my "gear." Well friends, I've found them, and they’re glorious. With an elastic-band closure, nifty slot for my pen and fabulous print to boot, these Piano Nobile notebooks from Chikabird have me heading to the head of the class. Oh, and did I mention they're refillable?? The hand-printed cotton fabric covers a black, Moleskin notebook and begs to be used again and again. AND, I was thrilled to discover this adorable grid print carried on to dish towels, pillows and even lamps. Okay not the side table, but it’s just plain fun.

Speaking of fun, be sure to check out more great Fashion Forward finds over on Obstinate Pursuit!
