My top stationery supplies of August
While I was at Muji the other day, I saw these new fineliners in stock! These actually remind me of the Triplus fineliners by Staedtler, but with muted colors of Muji stationery!
The colors are actually the same as their sign pens, with fineliner tips. The pen barrel is much slimmer compared to the sign pens, and has a glossy texture instead of matte. There are 10 colors available, which are all the same as the sign pens. I got the mustard yellow and the olive green to try.
the nibs on these are POM resin, which are durable and wear resistance, and they write smoothly on paper. They seem to be around the same nib size as the Triplus fineliners. I use this to write in my journal to add some pop of color, as I like this specific shade of green and yellow.

Okay, so we all know the joy of a fresh journal and some beautiful stationery, right? Beyond just writing, creating those aesthetic spreads that pop on your Instagram or Pinterest feed is half the fun! While I'm absolutely loving my new Muji fineliners for their smooth, muted tones, I wanted to share some of my other absolute 'August journaling favs' that help me achieve that dreamy, aesthetic vibe. First off, let's talk about pens. While fineliners are great for outlines and small details, I always have a few trusty gel pens for everyday writing and adding a bit more personality. My current go-to's include the Pilot Ilmily Nuance Black Brown – it's such a sophisticated, subtle shade that's not as harsh as black but still perfectly readable. Then there's the Zebra Sarasa Vintage Brown Gray; Sarasa pens always write like a dream, and this vintage color is just chef's kiss for a soft, cohesive look. And if you're like me and love a good coffee theme, the Pilot Juice Coffee Brown is a must-have! For those bolder accents or hand-lettering, I've been experimenting with Writech Sign Brush Pens, especially the pink (code 696) and light purple (code 689) for a pop of gentle color. They're surprisingly versatile and blend beautifully. When it comes to adding subtle emphasis without harsh neon, Zebra Mildliners are my holy grail. For my August journaling, I'm particularly fond of the Mild Smoke Green, Mild Beige, and Mild Olive. These muted, earthy tones are perfect for creating a cohesive aesthetic without overwhelming the page. They're fantastic for highlighting important notes, adding soft borders, or even creating little decorative elements. Using them makes my pages look so much more 'pinterest stationery' worthy! Of course, no aesthetic journal spread is complete without some fun decorative touches! Washi tape is a non-negotiable for me. I've been loving the gridded washi tape from Muji and ArtBox – it adds a clean, structured look without being too busy. And for a dose of pure cuteness, those morandi color-themed washi dot stickers are just adorable for filling in empty spaces or highlighting bullet points. For something with more dimension, I recently found these amazing 3D stickers from Aliexpress. They come in various designs, like the cutest strawberry cake or little milk cartons, and they instantly elevate any page, making it feel more tactile and special. They truly add that "aesthetic stationery items" touch to any spread. Mixing and matching these different elements – the smooth Muji fineliners, the nuanced gel pens, the gentle Mildliners, and the playful stickers and washi tape – is how I bring my journal pages to life. It's all about creating layers and textures that feel uniquely 'me'. Whether you're planning your week, tracking habits, or just jotting down thoughts, having a collection of beautiful, functional stationery makes the whole process so much more enjoyable and visually appealing. These 'stationery items for journaling' really make a difference!
