From California, with Love: My Planner Obsession Lately

Over the past three-four months I've gone through about five or six planners. I started with a petal blue pocket size Filofax. That was my first planner that I got after joining the Filofax Facebook community. Before that I was using a $12.99 planner from Typo. Since then, I've sold both, I've purchased the Flower Burst cover story personal size Filofax. It took me a few months but I finally fell in love with it. By that time I began lusting after the gorgeous Kate Spade leather bound Wellesley planners.

I didn't want to spend $100+ for the binder, so I settled with trading my cover story for a Kate Spade pocket Anne planner. I loved it! It was a hot pink canvas style front binder, and the inside was black and white stripes. It was about two weeks that I moved in and loved my planner... But, then the size started getting to me! I missed my personal sized planner, so I ended up trading my Kate Spade planner for a Willow personal Filofax. I wasn't happy with the willow though, because of the material the binder was made out of. I plan on mailing my willow to New York as a trade for a new patent duck egg pocket Filofax! I'm hoping to make it into a wallet planner and such! After holding a nude and Fluro pink Original, I decided I needed to get my hands on an Original Filofax so that's what's coming once I get a full time job and get some money saved up $$$$

I decided to take the plunge and spend $60 on a purple patent personal sized Original Filofax. I got it for $60 shipped because of the small nail scruffs on the back cover. For that price, and for it being my first, that didn't even bother me. These are my photos of my first Original. I still want the Wellesley binder, and I'm eyeing the nude Filofax as well... but for now this will do!
