spotlight: the fox and star! & exclusive discount code!

I recently discovered a blog called Paper Crush (not to be confused with the previous name of this blog - Paper Rush) and it was through this blog that I discovered a lovely online shop called The Fox and Star. I'm a sucker for cute stationery from the Far East and so The Fox and Star appealed to me as soon as the website loaded on Safari.


Of course, this meant I couldn't resist placing an order. I've been toying with the idea of using a bound planner for the last few months and when I saw two to debate between, I knew I had to order both. I'm citing research purposes though (the things I do for this blog... /justifying a purchase I probably didn't need).

In the end, I settled on the two planners below: an orange weekly journal by Paperways and The Planner by Sees. I also popped in two packs of thin MT washi tape too (I just cannot resist a bit of deco tape). It came in the most adorable packaging too - the washi tape was in a paper bag and sealed with a cute 'thank you' sticker.





Over the course of the next week, I will be posting reviews of the two planners mentioned in this blog post so stay tuned for that!

The service I received from The Fox and Star was just brilliant but I may be biased as I received my order a day after placing it (quick delivery of online ordered goods is one of the ways to my heart it seems...). Ari is absolutely lovely and her store is just full of adorable goods that appeal to those who love cute stationery as much as we all do :)

So, what is this discount code mentioned in the blog post title? Well, to get 10% off your purchase, enter 'paperlovestory' at the checkout. The checkout process is a bit weird so after ordering, go to your basket and click 'checkout'. Enter your details and just before you confirm the order, you enter the discount code there. The code is valid for a week and will end on the 17th of July 2014 so get browsing and ordering :)

    1. All coming in two separate posts - didn't want to make this one too picture heavy (though that's never stopped me including too many pictures in one post before...) :) x
