A few days ago, the planner gods were totally in my favor! A friend of mine ended up moving back to San Diego and with her packed apartment, was her fluorescent orange filofax!

A little backstory on what this planner means to me: the first time I had ever seen a filofax was in a stationary store in San Diego called Warwicks. I was originally going into the store for some pens, since they have a moderate selection.. On a shelf filled with planners, the bottom shelf held an A5 orange planner. I looked at the price, $110 and decided it was ridiculous to pay that much for a binder. Days went by, and I kept visiting the planner section, finally going home with a pocket size blue petal filofax. I remember posting on this blog about my planner finds. When I saw in the planner community how hard it was to come across a fluro orange, I mentally kicked myself.. And, with my luck when I was ready to buy the planner, it was purchased. 

Fast forward, years later.......................................................

I finally have a personal size orange filofax. The company started to see how "in demand" this color was for an 'original', and came out with a burnt orange, which didn't have the same hype. My friend came across this planner in the Kate Spade planner group on Facebook, back when the group was very active. A girl, who I don't think is in the planner community anymore, did a RAK (random act of kindness) give-a-way, and my friend was the winner. It's been about 4 or 5 years, and she's never used the binder, so now it's mine!! I will be sharing my weekly spreads  

 What's a unicorn planner without some unicorn dividers?

Dividers
Tab Labels

Some photos of my 2 weeks on 2 pages inserts from sewmuchcrafting on etsy. I really love these inserts, even though there's not a TON of room for stickers. I think I feel a little less overwhelmed when I don't have a ton of space to plan. Does anyone else feel like that?

Pocket flamingo filofax

I came across this in one of the planner groups on Facebook, and I had to have it! The girl was selling all her pocket planners, and if I couldn't find this in personal size, I would take pocket. This summer was the start of a flamingo craze, and I happily jumped on board. I kind of just put everything in this planner, and grab it when I'm leaving for work

Nude filofax from the boyfriend

 

During my trip to New Jersey in January of 2015, my Christmas gift was a nude a5 original filofax! The nude original is one of the sought after filofax in the planner community. This is my first a5 size binder, and the size was a little intimidating at first. He brought it when he picked me up @ the airport, and it was so pretty in person! I was let down because I was going to be with him for 3 weeks with no planner supplies. Now being home I've had some time to take photos of my planner, as well as decorating, and here are some of my favorites:

 

 



Petal pocket Filofax

I had gotten this for my friend, and then she ended up getting a black Kate Spade planner. I missed having a pocket planner, so I ended up buying it from her for $15 and a Starbucks drink. I love it and I'm currently using it as a note taking planner. I don't have calendar inserts for it since I'm not sure if I want it to be my main planner.
