Many years ago (5+ years), I became "high tech" and put all of my appointments, important dates, deadlines, etc in my cell phone. It was great- I got a daily reminder of everything I had to do that day when my alarm went off in the morning.
One day, the screen of my phone decided to die. My phone still worked, but I couldn't see anything. I may or may not have had a minor (or major) panic attack. Luckily, my friend Lauren had an extra day planner that her dad gave to her, which she gave to me. And thus I went back to my pre high tech days and wrote everything down.
A month or so ago, when other bloggers started blogging about their 2012-13 planner choices, I thought it was something I should think about too (my previous work would purchase planner for us, but when my contract ended in May, I left my there...it wasn't mine to take...and have been planner less since).
Usually, I would just head over to Chapters and pick up a Peter Pauper Press planner. I decided to shake things up a bit...I had started blogging (albeit, months before), I was starting a new job, moving to a new city, and would have a new living situation so I decided to go with a new planner. I picked:
 |
| Lilly Pulitzer- UGotta Regatta (large agenda) |
I had never purchased a Lilly agenda before...so this was a new experience for me. While I had read about the product on the website I purchased it from and read about it in many blogs, I still wasn't sure if this was the best agenda for me.
I love how colourful it is, I love the print, I love the size, I love the layout. I love that it's a 17 months planner. I didn't love, that because it was shipping from the US and Canada that the shipping was more than the actual planner.
 |
| Stickers that came with the planner...not sure if I'll use them in my planner, but I am known for giving out stickers to co-workers. |
 |
| Individual days |
 |
| Month at a glance |
 |
| Cover pages for the month...love how each month has it's own quote and specifically designed print. |
 |
| Dates to celebrate...great to have birthdays/anniversaries, etc all in one place and at a galnce! |
I can't wait to start using my Lilly planner in August- which is, thankfully, only days away!
Oh my gosh I picked the same planner! Mine had to be pre-ordered because they ran out though so it isn't here yet! I can't wait to get it, looks cute!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous planner. And it comes with STICKERS! That is awesome sauce. I love pretty planners. They're totally my jam. I went all over the city before I found one that was both pretty AND functional. I always hesitate to order online because of the function aspect.
