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

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.

Molli & Mimi Personal Organiser for 2015. Features snap binding and snap stud closure, has a pen holder with pen and space for cards inside the cover. All important local and international holidays are noted, as well as school terms and divided A-Z contacts. With sectional dividers for diary, notes, meetings and more it's the easy way to stay organised this coming year! SOURCE

The planner is so beautiful. The colour scheme is gorgeous - hot pink leather with white and pink spotted interior. The leather itself feels very soft and the size is perfect. Ideal for either an on-the-go diary or an at home organiser.

The size (personal size) is perfect for me, having large enough spaces to decorate and write in.

Firstly, the colour is a beautiful hot pink. Not too bright and not too dark. The hardware is coloured silver with a double stud button for closure. In the inside flap their are three card holders and one large pocket. The right side (inside the back cover) has a envelope top pocket opening which comes with a notepad. And of course a elastic pen loop. The planner also includes a year at a glance accordion-style calendar, a notes section, meetings, action, expenses and reminders. Another special thing about this planner is that it also comes with a bonus silver slimline pen! Plus I mustn't forget, this planner fits Filofax Personal sized inserts.

The hot topic of some planners is that the rings may be misaligned or weak. These negative reports had me opening my planner almost *expecting* a fault, but I was lucky enough to find all the rings closed properly. They are a little wobbly on the base. That is because they are studded into the planner on small central studs. This makes the whole planner feel a bit loose and not as sturdy as a Filofax planner. Again, time will tell the effects.


Pros:

• Its a very durable planner, this can withstand a few beatdowns if cared for properly
• The colour is absolutely gorgeous - the perfect pink in my opinion
• The patterned interior gives a unique flair to the planner
• It’s not too heavy once filled
• The binder rings allows about 2 inches of paper
• The pen holder will withstand most shaped/sized pens
• It lays flat!

Cons:

• The location of the pen loop - would have been better positioned on the edge of the back cover, not the strap
• The material of this particular planner is not leather/faux leather - Though there is a faux leather planner available in the Molli & Mimi range - Click here to check it out

Two optional colours of the Molli & Mimi padded planner are also available - Turquoise and black.

Cost - $25.
