This is a nice sized journal that you can carry with you anywhere! It will fit in a purse or backpack. It's ~ 6" x 8", and nice thick lines paper so you'd pen won't bleed through. There were a lot of different color choices, but it was the pink one that got my attention so that is what I stuck with. It is a nice calming shade of pink, not something that makes you feel like it is screaming at you. If you are like me and like to change things up frequently, this is just the right size, you won't get bored with 160 pages, but it is enough to keep around for awhile. When it's full you can go back and pick another design! The elastic strap is a nice touch for keeping it closed when you are not writing in it.
