My latest addition...

Oh wow it has been ages since I posted! Until this week, my planner usage was pretty consistent so there was not too much to talk about anyway. But last week I became the proud owner of my first Original Filofax - a Personal in Retro Brown! 

The leather is absolutely gorgeous, and I love how it looks. The only negative point I have found so far is that the pen loop is not very big and in my opinion poorly placed. My Filofax is not very full at all, but look how stretched she is!

See - bless her! This is one good looking Filofax though:

Anyway, on to the set-up. She was purchased to be used as my work planner for 2015, but I simply could not wait that long to use her, so I moved out of my Apex for the next few months.

These are my three funky tabs made with the paint chips Sheena sent me from the US - thanks girl! I have stuck to three tabs in here - people for penpals and Postcrossings, Business for Etsy and Create for blog and whatever else I decide - at the moment it is stuffed with lots of lined paper. I have a 2015 WO2P diary hiding at the back ready for next year.

I took the picture below before I realised the pen was too big, but I have gone simple yet smart for her opening look - thanks to my dashboard from www.tweetiepiecollage.etsy.com - go check her out!

See how perfect both the planner and the dashboard are for fall/autumn? I could not have put her away till next year!

In review, I LOVE this planner but am not happy with that pen loop - it is too small and means that the tabs I have stick out to far to work properly so may need to change them. It is lovely though and would not put me out buying another, especially if I manage to find one of the ones with the longer strap!

Thanks for persevering and waiting for this post - am going to think about what my next post will be! Thanks for reading.
