This is such a gorgeous princessy journal. I was so excited to own this journal and write down all my adventures… until after one week of using, I began to notice these random scratches on the front and back. Now I don’t even want to continue writing in it anymore since I’m afraid everything will scratch off and turn ugly, but I have a feeling once I store it away with my finished journals, that all the pretty colours and designs will scratch off by itself anyway.

It’s a great journal but just keep in mind it will definitely scratch off. I never had this problem with their purple journal though, so I don’t understand why a newer journal they’ve released is poor quality. I’m so disappointed and upset. I wouldn’t recommend buying this if you don’t want the cover to turn ugly.

Looove this !! I got the pen too to match the journal and it’s soo pretty! No regrets. I think this is the best dotted paper I’ve come across, not too far apart nor too tight, and the paper quality is good. I’ve ordered two journals from this shop in the past and the paper is toppp.

I tried the pen and it writes really good, the ink works great. That’s without mentioning how utterly STUNNING the pen looks, of course.

This is currently the shop with the most stunning and beautiful and unique journals and it takes such an important part of my writing experience.

It’s an amazing design with such cute red edges and I will have the best hot girl time writing in this 🩷

When I got this journal, it took my breath away it was so beautiful. But after two weeks it looks awful. I am so disappointed! I haven’t been carrying it anywhere. I just keep it on my desk - opening and closing to write in it daily. The foil runs off just from me opening and closing it with my hand daily. I probably won’t even keep using it because it looks so icky and disappoints me! Shame because the paper is perfect and the design is gorgeous. Sad.

What a beautiful book! It's finished to a high standard, with quality, thick, fp-friendly paper. The cover design is gorgeous without veering into fussiness, and the foiled edges add that touch of luxury. This won't be my last purchase from Quirky Cup.
