When it comes to making lists, writing notes, and sketching out ideas, I’m still a sucker for putting pen to paper. I have a dozen apps for these things but I usually end up forgetting about them and reverting to a notebook. Can you blame me? Writing instruments are some of my favourite things. And there are so many kinds out there! I decided to round up a stylish selection for those of you with the same predilection for pens and pencils as I do. – Julie
