A Novel Idea

Smythson Large Floppy Manuscript Book/Barneys New York

Watching the children of the neighborhood march down the street, decked in gold and navy hues, pleats and buttoned blazers has us yearning for the days when we'd beg mom to write our names in her elegantly classic script on the crisp covers of our black and white speckled notebooks. Although those days are long gone, why not treat ourselves to some grown up school supplies, like Smythson's Manuscript book? The oversized pages are cradled between the poppy-colored leather binding, inspiring us to finally begin working on the next great novel, or maybe even help us transform our mundane notes and to-do lists into a flowery, Fitzgeraldesque description of a modern day working girl!
