This month I have been participating in the Fox In Flats Style Dare. There is a different style dare for every day, and yesterday’s was to do something inspired by Coco Chanel. Now, when I think Coco Chanel, I think of lots and lots of strings of pearls. But… I don’t own any real pearls, and only a couple of strands of fake ones – …

Does Dad wear a suit to work? If so, this notebook would make a great Father’s Day gift that he’ll be able to use every day. Because the notebook is cleverly disguised as a pocket square, he’ll be able to keep it in his suit pocket and still look fashionable at the same time!
