Lamy Safari V Parker Pen - Haul

Howdy Hedgehogs!!!

First things first

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IRIS!!!!!!!!


This was what I came in to this morning!! There was another banner up BUT I took it down without realising, then I suddenly thought oh I need to take a photo!

My desk was covered in confetti, and do you see the two Chanel handbags on my screen, GST and PST, yes I'm a woman obsessed!!!

Now that I have shared all that with you and wished Iris a Happy Birthday!

On to my lovely new pen that I'm not too sure about!

I will show you the outside, you will probably guess what it is, this was after a bit of enabling from CP, but it wasn’t like that, she just told me how you can use it with pink ink!!! I have been wanting a fountain pen with pink ink for AGES! But I wanted it to be a pink fountain pen too but no luck!


I will show you all the pictures of my unveiling of my pen!




Isn’t she a beaut! Yes it’s the Lamy Safari in Turquoise! YAY!!!!

I have been using a parker pen for a long time now, ever since year 8 at school, I have been through 3 of the same parker pen, oh I love that pen!

Here is them next to each other!


I also did a few test so compare the writing capabilities, the Lamy is the lighter of the inks and the Parker is the darker!



So far I have found the Lamy to be a bit scratchy, does the nib settle in a bit? Its just slightly feels like there is a bit of resistance between the nib and paper as if I'm writing on sanding paper? Is that normal for the first few uses of it! But I love the way you hold it, it feels like its all snuggled up in my hand at home!

She is rather a chunky pen too!!!

I'm a smitten kitten so far, lets just hope she gets a bit looser!!

I also bought the following: -


The Body Shop – Vitamin E Rose Spray Mist, luxurious for hot days and times in the city when you just need to freshen up!
The Body Shop – Eye shadow pallet on sale! (I had a £5 voucher with my magazine and needed to get the Mist)

Lamy Safari Turquoise pen – I LOVE THE PEN HOLDER THAT IT COMES WITH!
Hello Kitty Stickers – There puffy and have fruit on them!! MMM

Hope you have enjoyed all that

Much Love <3 xxx
