Hi everyone! Today I am talking to all you organize freaks out there like me!
One of my favorite times of the year is getting a new planner for the school semester/new year. This is my last semester of college ever! (Can’t believe it, if you are just starting college enjoy every minute of it cause it truly flies by!). So I wanted to make sure I got the perfect planner. I have had experience with two great brands which I have listed below & also listed the new planner I just ordered which I am so excited to get in the mail.
My first “big girl” planner was from none other than the amazing Lily Pulitzer. I think every girl should have at least have one of these bad boys. I loved how big this agenda was. I got it a year ago and it still goes until December 2015! It was a year & a half long (& actually I could technically still be using it for this last semester — its that large — but I wanted a new planner for a fresh start hehe).

Pros:
- Durable
- Enough room to write under each day
- Cute stickers (i.e. Mani/Pedi day, Date Night, Me Day etc.)
Cons:
- The only reason I switched to a different planner was it wasn’t the best fit for a college student in my personal opinion. It was hard to separate each class and assignment and my OCD would really kick in when it looked all scattered.
- A little pricier than most ($34)

The above photo is THE number one reason to get this planner. It has been the best for writing down homework or when your next exam is. Hands down best college planner out there.
Pros:
- CUSTOMIZATION! (name on front, adding classes, and stickers etc.)
- Also durable
- Great price
- Custom class sections
- They do more than just student planner. (wedding planners, teacher planners, parent planners etc.)
Cons:
- Not great for other than school, needed two planners. (one for classes, one for other)
- Not a fan of the outer designs (personal opinion)
Below are the two that I have right now. You can see that the Lily Pulitzer planner is much larger! Both were great quality and have lasted for a year! The reason I got both was that while I am in college I needed more of a student based planner which Plum Paper designs is awesome for! But I also liked having one for separate life events and to do lists which Lily is great for.
Of course I am always looking for the next best planner because let’s face it I love a good planner! And I have still not found the PERFECT one yet. So I have officially just ordered this one from BAN.DO. It looks great and at a reasonable price ($20). I cant wait until I get it and I will for sure post a review as soon as its here. I have a feeling I might just be obsessed with it! (Yes I know above I wrote that Plum Papers is great for school and since I do have one more semester left I’m sure I might regret it, but just look how cute this one is!)

What really sold me was what they wrote at the bottom, so true! Organizing did get cool… haha. So cute!
Let me know what planners you all use && what ones you love!
Again I will be sure to update you guys on what I think of the Ban.do planner when it arrives.
