Philofaxy All Stars Guest Post: My Purpley Life's Planner Envy

Hi everyone! My name is Jennifer. I blog over at MyPurpleyLife.com and do a number of videos on YouTube.  I am so happy to have been given the chance to guest post for the Philofaxy All Stars Tour 2013 here on She's Eclectic. Just like Amanda, I too have planner envy. 

My Planner Envy is TeacherCandy. Photos of her planner can be found on Instagram @TeacherCandy. Candy is such a sweet, wonderful person and her personality really shines through her planner pages. She loves the color pink probably as much as I love purple. 

The pages she creates are cute and simple, with a minimalistic design and the use of kawaii stationery, pastel colors, washi tape, and stickers. 

Her handwriting is simply gorgeous. 

The pages look full without looking too cluttered. 

Something about her pages that I'm very drawn to is her use of sticky notes. Instead of writing directly onto the paper, she makes great use of her sticky notes. 

Thank you, Candy, for allowing me to share my envy for your pages. Thank you, Amanda, for letting me share my planner envy on your blog.

Thank you for writing this post Jennifer and I completely agree with you, TeacherCandy's pages are beautiful!  I love following her on Instagram and seeing her creativity.  Everything is always so pretty and I envy her planner too!

Planner envy - MyPurpleyLife

MyPurpleyLife is another blogger who makes me feel planner envy.  Unlike my past two Planner Envy posts (here and here) this time I can say exactly what it is that triggers this feeling.  It is all about Jennifer's pages!  That's not to say that her binders aren't gorgeous, they are, but her pages are incredibly beautiful. 

Pretty pink and purple pages

I would love to sit down and look through Jennifer's Filofax to see the pages in real life and if I was going to travel that far to do it I wouldn't mind a nose through her stickers, washi tape and stationery collection either!  The next best thing to this is to watch her YouTube channel.  The videos show you how she starts to decorate her pages and are full of helpful tips, ideas and information. 

I love the charms and paperclips that add to the overall look.

I think Jennifer has a real eye for colour and design.  I love her style and I think the pages are instantly recognisable as hers.

This is one of my favourite weeks, it looks so elegant! 

I watched Jennifer's Week 21 video over the weekend.  If you haven't seen it yet go and take a look, I love the colour scheme she has used!  I also got to see the finished result on her blog post and it is lovely, it puts me in the mood for Summer!

Are there any bloggers who make you feel planner envy? Let me know in the comments as I'd love to take a look at them!

Planner envy - Imysworld

Imysworld is another blog that leaves me feeling planner envy.  Ever since I saw the post about unboxing her Mulberry Agenda I have been a little bit in love with Imy's planner!  Her excitement while waiting to get the Agenda was contagious so when it finally arrived I was dying to see what all the fuss had been about. I was not disappointed!

Still in it's packaging - Imy's Mulberry Agenda

Like Paper lovestory this is another beautiful pink organiser (I promise the next one in this series is a different colour!).  
I think I swooned when I first saw this photo and it still makes me feel a little weak in the knees now.  

Gorgeous, pink and glamorous!

Again it is not just the binder that makes me envious, Imy's pages are also lovely!  You can tell that she uses her planner a lot, it is practical but she takes the time to make the pages pretty. 

Full pages - a planner's delight

The whole organiser makes me think of John Keats - a thing of beauty is a joy forever.  I am looking forward to seeing more posts about the Agenda and videos on Imy's YouTube channel.

Planner envy

I have been reading lots of planning blogs recently, I like to see what people use and how they use it.  Seeing other bloggers organisers some times leaves me feeling planner envy.  I can't put my finger on what triggers it, whether it's the binder they use or how they decorate their pages but I look at them feel a little in awe of their organisers!  I will be writing a series of posts on this subject and showing you which bloggers leave me feeling envious (in a good way of course!).

This first post is about Angela from Paper LoveStory.  I am always happy to see her Smythson organiser, it is a lovely shade of pink and it looks so well put together.

Pretty, pink planner - Angela's Smythson leather organiser

I love her cute tabs and how orderly everything looks inside.

Pink, blue and gold is a great colour combo

It is not just Angela's organiser that I like, she also has the neatest handwriting!  Even when she comments on how untidy her pages are I look at them and think "Wow they look perfect!".  My pages always look a little haphazard!  I don't know if that is down to me usually writing with my Filofax balanced on my knees and trying to stop my youngest from drawing on it with a crayon or if I'm just naturally messy but that makes me admire her planner even more. 

Fun but functional!

Angela's pages are colourful and fun but the overall effect is still elegant.  This planner inspires me to be neater, I am going to try to harder to keep my pages straight and tidy in future! 

Do you ever feel planner envy or is it just me?
