wednesday's post...

good morning!

it's another chilly morning here in chicago! lucky me, ha! ha! however in two weeks i will be in florida so it's okay! hopefully warmer temps will return to florida by then! ha! ha!

anyway, i was checking out the williams-sonoma home website this morning and came across these adorable ming bath accessories in blue & white:

if only the set matched my bathrooms, darn it!

oh well, have you bought your planner for 2011?

years ago, i was all about my franklin planner. then i started buying graphic image leather bound annual planners from neiman marcus. however, i found that i would use it on and off for a few months and now just can justify paying $90 or maybe they were $75 for an annual leather planner! i can't remember now but that trend lasted what 3 years?

for 2010 i have been using the vera bradley planner...love it! i like the 3-ring binder option, thick paper stock and overall pretty basic agenda. after all, i really only use my planners for birthdays, vacations, etc. for 2011 i decided to purchase a lilly pulitzer planner. i have the checking in planner below. i love the stickers and the lilly pulitizer designs for each month are amazing. however, in comparing the vera bradley and lilly pulitzer planners i think overall i prefer the vera bradley planner.

in my opinion, the lilly pulitzer paper quality is cheap and the pages rip easily. the lilly pulitzer planner doesn't have the 3-ring feature, which i like. at the same time i really like the design patterns of the lilly pulitzer planner.

i don't know, what planner are you using for 2011? or have you gone digital? i'd love to hear your favorite planner!

guess what?!??? i checked UPS and my leather boots will be delivered TODAY!!!! ..SO EXCITED!!!! i hope they fit and aren't too big!!!

oh well, have a great day!

Love those bath accessories, but sadly they don't work my bathroom theme either. Can't wait to hear about the boots--they look so cute online! This is my second year with the Lilly planner. I have a gorgeous Kate Spade, but it's much heavier to carry around so I think I'll start using it again when I'm working full-time and done with school, but it's too heavy to carry with my school stuff. Have a great Wednesday! :)

Chic bath accessories, wish I had a spot for them too.
This is my second year for the Lilly planner but I am feeling that this years is a bit off. I will check out the Vera planner next time I am in the store at Somerset. I am enjoying your recommendations.

I use a planner from Blue Sky and have for going on five years now. Perfectly compact but has room for everything I need to write down.

I use the Vera Bradley planner as well. I bought mine last month, since they are 18 month planners they were on sale and got it for under $20. I also bought a matching desk calendar for $8!
