July means one thing in my book and that's buying planners to use starting in August. This year, I had no qualms about what planner I was picking.
It was time to go back to my roots.
That's right, from the title of this blog you know what's coming.
Lilly Pulitzer planners are back in my life.
It's been a solid 4 years since I had one and I just knew the time was right. I've loved my Henri Bendel planners for the past few years, and I attempted a Kate Spade one last year (my work bag was stolen in October and my KS planner was in it, so I didn't fully use it)
My reasons for going back to Lilly are simple.
I needed some color back in my life.
While the Henri Bendel planners are sophiscated and chic and have gorgeous fashion illustrated designs, I've been in a Lilly Pulitzer mood and I had to satisfy that feeling with a planner.
I wasn't too keen on the Kate Spade planners this year, Henri doesn't release theirs until the Fall and I was just ready to see what Lilly had to offer.
I did change things up a bit and got a medium agenda instead of a large. Not being in school and having my Louis Vuitton MM Agenda at home, I don't use the 'on the go' planner as much as I have in the past. I knew that if I didn't like the medium planner I could just return it and go back to my classic Large.
That wasn't the case and I really love the medium size. *Granted I haven't used it much yet but so far, it seems like it'll be fine.
The layout is pretty much the same as before so nothing has changed there. The designs were very Lilly like and I was alternating between the one I picked up, Light Pascha Pink Aquadesiac and Nauti Navy Flamiagno. I decided that if I was going to get a Lilly planner, I was going full Lilly!
We'll see what happens when Henri Bendel releases their planners -- I've been loving HB lately and I have such a weakness for the covers. However, I really like the fact that I Lilly has a lot of space in each day; HB has very little space and then a page for notes. I think it'll be good to change things up and see how I like it.
Also, Lilly comes with stickers. Does it get much better than that?
What are you planning with for the 2018-2019 year?
*PS: Isn't it WILD that we're halfway through the year?
