Back to School Agendas

The time has come to get a new 17 month agenda. The amount of pressure to get a cute planner is pretty equally matched with the amount of adorable options available. I am not as picky as some people with my agenda organization habits as long as there is no spiral, month pages, and week pages that have each day with enough space to write to- do lists then I am good to go. An agenda is a pretty large commitment since you use it every day almost all day for a whole year. I'm toying with the idea of getting one for work and one for everything else. I loveee the look of supplies and the feel of writing things down, especially with the pencils I picked up on my last NYC trip from CW Pencil Enterprise.  


Here are the agendas I am eyeing up this year in no particular order....

I Am Very Busy ban.do agenda

ban.do does a perfect job of being fun incarnate, I am obsessed with all of the quirky details in their products. I like the elastic band on this one because of the pop of metallic and because I always throw everything into a tote bag and if notebooks have spirals they get messed up. One of the best parts of this planner are the stickers that it comes with (could only be better if they were temp tats). 

Gray and White Stripes Sugar Paper Agenda

Sugar Paper for Target has to consistently be my favorite line for Target. The colors, lines, fonts, and textures are just perfect. This is a good option if you want something that isn't too bulky or large. You cannot see from this image but the pages have gold on the sides too. Last year I got this one, since I didn't have to worry about teaching or PSR the super small size forced me to be concise and more purposeful in everything that I wrote. It's checkbook size and if you are going to use two different planners it looks really cute next to the grey stripe one.

      Rifle Paper Co. Desktop Planner

Love the scattered supplies, especially the glasses and pencils. This one has little check boxes for you to check off things as you do them next to the lines on each of the day pages. 

May Designs Agenda

I love May Designs because you can customize them by adding your favorite quote or monogram and pick the pattern. They updated their agenda design so they now include monthly and weekly pages. There's also pages that have spaces for fitness goals, travel spots you want to go to etc. These have a soft cover so they are really easy to carry.

Every Moment Planner

Slender with a metallic leather cover this is easy to carry and will be easy to find in your purse. 

Tusk in Sun Large Agenda

Tusk in Sun is my favorite Lilly agenda print. Comes with fun stickers. Lilly is doing free shipping on all orders right now so it's a perfect time to order. Agenda shopping is making me really sad I am not getting ready for school.

Currently "Need"

This is number one on my list of current wants. My phone is constantly dying because I am usually gone all day with class/ work/ meetings and always forget to stick my charger in my bag. This cute little Lilly Pulitzer back up charger would be perfect and could even fit in my wristlet which I am always sure to have! I like this one even mor than the jcrew ones and it matches my case better.  
These adorable ear buds and case are totally unnessesary but totally cute! I do not really use head phones too often because I usually forget them and can study just fine without music, but this may need to change.

I am kicking myself for not scooping this up when it was for sale for half the price! I keep picturing how cute it would look with so many of my dresses ugh! What are your current "must haves" ? Hope everyone is having a great day!

Lilly Spring

It is sooo cold in Columbus right now and walking to classes on days like today is totally not fun! I simply cannot wait for Spring, especially after seeing the new Lilly line. Surprisingly I have not bought anything Lilly (besides office supplies) in a record long time but will for sure have to get my hands on some of the new Spring pieces because they are TDF!

Here are some of my favorites....

Resort Bermuda Poplin Printed Shorts

I need some new shorts. These ones are so cute and cheery.

Eryn Dress

Awww this dress is adorable! It reminds me of something Emma Pillsbury would wear.

Picture Perfect Espadrille

I love Espadrilles because they make your legs look amazing but are still easy to walk in.

Reeve Dress

We won't be able to wear white for quite a while, but I really love the detailing on this one. I am always a fan of cap sleeves, and think this dress would even be great for church!

Eve Striped DressThis is my absolute favorite dress! It is so fun and I love the colors!

What are your favorites? I hope everyone is having a lovely week.

Lilly Fall=LOVE

Hello, everyone! The new Fall Lilly collection is simply TDF, as much as I do not want summer to end, looking at it is making me excited for changing leaves and snuggly sweaters!

Here are my top picks....

I cannot wait to wear these to the gym!

I love this Stephanie shift in the Koi print, it would be great for a party!

I am so glad that the Shere is back, and this time in cable knit! I have a total weakness for sweaters.

The Jonah is one of my favorite styles, it is so comfortable and flattering.

I like this Stephanie a bunch too. It is a great transition piece and would look great with tights.

As I will be a college freshman in a little over a month you can imagine my excitement when I heard that their would be a sorority collection! I am currently loving this Kappa Kappa Gamma tote.

Lilly Pulitzer Spring 2010!

Some of the Lilly Spring Line that caught my eye.......

I really like this dress, classic pink/green combo always looks so cute!

I have not tried the one shoulder trend yet, maybe it's time!

The much talked about "Pandamonium" shift. Did you pre-order this one? I did not, while it is very cute, I am just not "in love". I do however, think it is a perfect print for Minnies!

Pink and orange looks great too, pair this with some oranges revas and you're all set!

Hope you're having a great Monday!
