Filofax Accessories

I thought I’d right a nifty post about my filofax accessories because they have been taking over and piling up as of late.

Whenever I’m out I can’t help but be on the lookout for something filofax related from stickers to dividers, washi tapes to quirky pictures and postcards I just can’t help myself!

In my “modest” collection I have these wonderful gel pens. I stood in front of the pens section at staple for about 30mins give or take.. staring and comparing and wondering and researching on my phone. I’m a bit fussy when it comes to buying my pens. I really wanted the magnificent rub out Pilot frixons but they were so expensive and didn’t have the colour pack I wanted nor the single selling pens. In the end I sided with uni-ball’s SIGNO gel sticks. A pack of 8 for £4? BARGAIN!

My filo specific pens

From my uni days I already had the matching highlighter set from Sharpie and for all my exams and note taking I cannot be without Parker red and Waterman, I'm much a fountain pen girl. I love the fluidity but don’t care much for my left hand smudging!

Then no filofax or organiser in my opinion can be whole without a good dose of sticky tabs! I have the Martha Stewart ones as well as good old fashioned "Post - it" ntes that now have a tabbed range and a slightly kooky range from “Gorjus.”

And then comes my favourite pieces, I cannot be without my washi tapes and stickers! I have a whole box full, usually mostly all from paperchase.

Stickers! 

Bits and bobs!

Finally I have these adorable boxes. I bought them from T K Maxx and am kicking myself for not buying more cause they’ve disappeared now. They are made to look like books and are so gorgeously decorated one Japan themed with cherry blossoms a peacock influenced one and of course my beautiful Paris.  

One for Stickers, One for old filofax inserts and one for new ones and homemade spares..

 

If you've got a few of these in my opinion "essentials" then you will have yourself a happy filofax, if not its a good excuse to go out and splurge, if your collection is a wee bit small, go splurge, if you've decided you need a new colour and therefore a whole new pen set SPLURGE!

Love your filo and it will love you back!
