NEW Erin Condren 2015/2016 Life Planner!

... I have a confession to make.

About ANOTHER addiction of mine ...


Today's blog post is going to be all about my new Erin Condren 2015/2016 Life Planner! I have been seeing everyone rave about these planners, so I decided get one for myself. If you are a planner lover like me, this might be your new favourite planner!



Considering I live in Australia, the box arrived very promptly at my doorstep. The box came much quicker than the estimated ship time on erincondren.com upon ordering. The order arrived in an adorable box design with absolutely no damage.
Upon opening the box, I came across some very cute postcards, gift tags, note cards, and stickers. I didn’t order these with the planner, so must just be a free gift from the team at Erin Condren. No complaining here!



I selected the 2015/2016 LifePlanner in the new horizontal layout with the extended 5 month option. That way the planner included the rest of 2015 and the entire 2016 year. This was an additional $5, but totally worth it for five extra months. The standard option was only 12 months (July 2015 – July 2016).

Price of planner (plus additional 5 months) : $55
Shipping cost (international FedEx economy): $19.95 




The design I chose is called Fleur Feliz. I opted for the 'custom colorway' variation. Which allows you to customise your colour choices. The colours I decided on were:

Background: Charcoal

Pattern: Flamingo




I flipped through the planner and fell in love with the eye for detail - the laminated tabs, the sturdy bookmark, the double-pocket folder, the pouch full of personalised gift labels. Swoon!



I also chose a few additional extra's to go with my new planner. An interchangable cover, a pack of markers and a pen loop. I chose the Cancer Awareness Fleur Feliz cover, in the pink (Breast Cancer Foundation) option. Purely because the Pink Ribbon symbol holds a very special part in my family's life.


Not only are the designs absolutely beautiful, but the planner pages are perfect. They have enough space for all of your lists, events, chores or uni/college/work schedule. Anything that you might want to write down.

What's In My NEW Planner - 2014/2015 Edition

22:32


Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the new planner and stationary collection from Target (Australia). The Molli & Mimi range is becoming a hit with stationary geeks across the country. Last week I managed to pick up one of their featured 2015 padded planner's. So I thought I would post a mini review.

Filofax Personal Domino in Deep Pink - REVIEW

12:47


Last week I came home from university and spotted a suprise parcel in my letterbox. Lo and behold, it was a gorgeous new planner. Kindly sent by the folks at FilofaxShop Australia. Therefore, today I will be reviewing the newest member of my Filofax family. The Filofax Domino - 'Personal Size' in 'Deep Pink.'

*This post is sponsored, yet does not affect my opinion on the product being discussed. 


In a good quality/functional planner, I’m looking for something that is:
  • easy
  • flexible
  • pretty
  • gives a good overview 

So let’s test how the Filofax system works out.
I can't deny the organiser is still weighty to carry around but knowing that I have all the notes I need is great.

The elastic closure works well and feels secure. The external colour is absolutely gorgeous and the inside is a beautiful grey suede. I have nothing but good things to say so far.
The cover isn’t leather but it’s very lovely and doesn’t look cheap. I’m a little worried about the off white elastic belly band becoming dirty and looking very used over time. I’ll let you know how that works out.




The inside is beautifully embossed with the Filofax logo and the model name and size. It’s a suede-like fabric and very nice to the touch. By the way, I love how the pink pleather is peeking through the credit card slits on the left side. You will also notice the little notches for the elastic belly band on each side. Lovely details, even on this budget version.

Overall I really adore this planner. The quality is just beautiful and I like that you can change the diary pages every year and essentially only need one planner.  

 *Since taking photo's of this planner, I made some cute laminated dividers. To check out how they look in my new binder, watch this space!

Typo Luxe Planner - Review & RANT!

22:17

Today's post will be slightly different to my previous posts. Not often do I rant about a particular product, though on this occasion I feel it is necessary. 

A couple of weeks ago I purchased the 'Luxe Planner' from Typo. A slight impulse buy (as I already own a personal sized Filofax which I adore) though I was instantly drawn-in by its mystical sparkles and perfect size. 

I handed over my last $20 bill to the till lady - and walked out of the store chuffed by my 'bargain purchase.' 
Later... to be bitterly dissapointed.


At first glance, the planner appears sturdy and well-made. The inserts and paper are gorgeous, and as a bonus, you receive a free metal pen! Though this is where the first problem pops up.


The pen is both slim and sophisticated, though a little 'to-slim' for the pen loop. As soon as you pick up the planner, the pen slips right out. Such a shame. 
But I thought to myself,
"Oh well, I can always just use another pen - no biggie!" 

It seems the 'pen issue' was not the only (important) issue I was going to face.


The pink arrow (as shown in the photo above) points to the main issue I have with this planner. 
Take a look at that ring! One of the other three rings (not shown in this photo) also has alignment issues.

It may not seem like a huge problem, but when you turn the pages of the planner, the paper constantly gets caught and rips. 

Upon my research, it seems I'm not the only one who's had the same issues with the Typo 'Luxe planner.'

cafeetpapier.com
Like Kait (cafeetpapier.com), I too adore the Luxe planner. Let me clarify that... I adore the 'look' of the Typo Luxe planner, not so much its functionality. I wish I had of come across Kait's blog post prior to purchasing my planner, that way I may have thought twice about handing over my last $20 bill. Thank goodness I kept my receipt.

This post is simply to warn you to ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ITEM before you purchase it!

Typo Haul - Planner's and More

18:20

I recently stopped in at Typo. I happened to stumble upon a few gorgeous items. My purchases included a precious ringed planner, a retro/rustic style alarm clock and three adorable food themed Christmas decorations. 


Firstly, the personal size 'Galaxy Glitter' planner will be perfect for the new year. I love the glittery finish and slimline design. It's sightly lower quality than my personal size Metropol Filofax, but for $19.95 AUD, I couldn't possibly resist! Due to its slimmer design, durable design , it will make a perfect university planner. Perfect for squeezing into my bag.

 
The retro/rustic alarm clock was an essential purchase. My previous alarm clock fell of my bedside table and broke *sad face. I purchased it for a mere $19.95.



Lastly, I will be sending the three Christmas decorations to The Saccone Joly's (Irish YouTube vloggers) - Click here to go to there channel. I have been watching there YouTube channel for a few months now. I have to say I'm addicted! 
Typo had a special deal on all Christmas decorations, three for $10. Bargain!

That's all for today. Stay tuned for a more extensive review and comparison on the Typo planner.


Stay pretty xx

What's in my Filofax (Day Planner)

23:54

Hey readers


Random fact about me: I'm obsessed with my planner. I became obsessed using my Filofax after experiencing how efficient, creative, & customizable they are. 

I have the Metropol in Personal size. This size suits me perfectly as I use it as a day planner/ life helper. No matter the size of the handbag I choose to wear for the day, this personal size fits perfectly.



I first bought my Filofax for $70 AUD from Myer a couple of years ago. At first, I neglected it quite a bit. Though over the past few months I have really enjoyed becoming more organised with the help of my little red friend. 

 

In the photo above, you can see the Metropol has handy pockets that is great for holding personal cards and business cards, there is also room to squeeze in some cute post-it notes and clips. I purchased the post-it notes and sticky flags at my local Officeworks for around $5 (combo pack).


By adding colourful tabs to the top and side of my Filofax organiser, makes it easy to remeber what each tab stands for. But best of all, it makes it more appealing to look at. The 'planner' divider was from another planner I purchased from Target. They suit my planer perfectly.


I'm pretty impressed about how much stuff you can squeeze into the Metropol planner. As you can probably tell, my Filofax it becoming pretty stuffed. What can I say, I'm a busy lady!

(UPCOMING MONTH - YET TO BE FILLED)
I've started decorating each week with different themes. This is one of my favourites.

(UPCOMING MONTH - YET TO BE FILLED)
I'm pretty chuffed about this one as well.


Lastly, what do you think of my little seal charm? Isn't she adorable! I purchased her many years ago for my very first mobile phone.

I hope you've enjoyed having a sneak peek inside my Filofax.


Stay pretty xx
