I have a small jewel pen that 1 of my daughter's gave me..Its one of the twist to open pens. I just keep it in one of my multi-function pockets upright..I want no accidents
The only fancy ones I own are two Montblanc Ici et la fountain pens I bought several years ago but honestly, they're high-maintenance and difficult to find ink and parts for, so I never use them. I usually carry cheapies. Bic Cristals, lol.I had a real bargain: I had a possibility to buy a really beautiful Parker Insignia rollerball pen with a big discount. I think the Insignia line is discontinued, so I guess that's why they're giving discount in the bookshop.
I guess the colour of the pen would best be described as deep blue, and there are also gold coloured details. It's one of the prettiest pens I have ever seen, very sophisticated. It's also environmental friendly, because I hope to use it years to come, instead of buying or otherwise getting hundreds of easily breakable plastic pens.
Now the pen is in my bag attached to my agenda. Do you like pretty pens? What kind of pens do you have with you?
Hugs,

Is your Mont Blanc a fountain pen? Most people who use fountain pens won't let anyone borrow them because if you aren't used to writing with a fountain pen you can damage the nib. My husband uses fountain pens (Watermans) and won't let me near them because I press too hard - I can't write with pencils either, I break the lead every other word or so!
I carry this adorable Marc Jacobs lipstick pen. You should see the reactions I get when I pull it out to use it!

Me too!!!!! I received this from a lovely tpfer
I dont usually carry pens around with me but if there are any in my bag they are usually my hotel pens that I seem to collect at home..probably the reason why I can never find any at work when I actually need one!!!
I did buy a really nice pink pen from a shop to take to my course though but that isnt in my bag yet.

No one uses my MBs, or any of my fountain pens!! They live on my desks for a reason. I don't have a MB rollerball pen (yet, thinking about getting one this fall though...) Most people don't know how to write with them, and will damage the nib. Last time I had a nib repair on a Mont Blanc, it had to be sent to Germany - it took 3 months and $80...
I'm a little more open minded about my non-fountain pens - My mother can use them.
i have a lil chubby HELLO KITTY pen that my bestie got me for my bday this year. i keep it in my COACH AGENDA...which fits nice (i took the lil gold pen that came with the agenda out...it kept falling out and it scared me to think it could mark the inside of my bags). i like that its a thicker pen b/c it fits nicely with the agenda and doesnt slip out. 
I have Cross pens to match the bag colour in most of my premium handbags and they are always kept inside a pen case, a Cross case if possible but I will use any brand case if it comes in the colour I want
