Yes, I am a techno-whore. My laptop is never out of arm’s length. Of course I bought the brand new iPhone. I watch TV 24/7. But I am still old-school about one thing: writing.

Sure, when I write my blog or other articles, it does straight into the computer. But everything else goes into notebooks, scratch pads, the backs of envelopes. Interviews go into notebooks, as do scripts. A to-do list just isn’t satisfying unless I can scratch off completed items in pen. But an oversized yellow legal pad just doesn’t cut it when I am sitting front row at a fashion show.

Staples now offers a chic, sleek line of stylish office products that won’t make you feel like you are in junior high. Their M by Staples line offers grown-up fun. Their line of notebooks do not feature a single heart, flower, or kitten. Instead, sleek lines, bold colors, and simple graphic details make these notebooks a fashion accessory, not just a business necessity.

The large spiral-bound notebook is great for meetings, or perfect for TV scripts (my preferred use). The pages are perforated so you won’t get those nasty spiral-torn-pieces all over your blouse. The pink patent leather journal is contrasted by a black & white polka dot lining, and matching striped bookmark.

M by Staples also offers a variety of other designer office supplies, such as binder clips, file folders, and stationary. With over a dozen different graphic patterns and color combinations, you are sure to find something to match your office decor – or your outfit.
