The first details my bills: the supplier, amount and date it leaves my account. In the info tab, I have two top tabs, with a £ sign and a **** sign. I’ve used an embossing label maker to label the tab.īehind the tab, I have my personal information: name, email address, phone number just in case it gets lost. My first divider is my “Info” – dividers made with 2 leopard print card stock stuck together and an Avery tab. The first page is a plastic transparent dashboard with yellow butterfly sticky notes I write down things I need when I am out and about.īehind the dashboard, the back holds a project life card stuck with washi tape. The card slots hold my “London” theme Starbucks card, Cartology paperclip, a few London flag sticky notes and a tartan card stock through the full length pocket detailing “In Case of Emergency” contacts and allergy information. The layout is so practical it is easy to see why many have opted to utilise this organiser as a purse/wallet.īut for me, I’ve tried and failed miserably to use my planners as a purse, so I’ve resigned myself to use the planner as I find easiest for myself at the moment… as a planner ). The right hand side has a outward opening zip pocket. The left also boasts 5 vertical car slot holders and a full length pocket. It is leather throughout he interior also, with a full length back pocket like the Pocket Malden’s (however with much more structure). The clasp opens the planner to reveal a part leather-part elasticated pen loop to the left. The Chameleon is a discontinued model of Filofax therefore I took to EBay to find this beauty.įirstly, I must admit, the leather feels sublime and as usual on all Filofax models, the planner feels sturdy and well made. I did have a Croc in mind but I feel the Chameleon had a bit of a “glam rock” shimmer and texture to the leather. Are there any planner people out there that do this too? I have filofaxes that remind me of happy times, and Filofaxes that remind me of down times in my life.Īnyway, I thought with things beginning to happen again (and just as we sailed into Lockdown 2.0!) I decided to change things up again and find a planner that would allow me to create a bit of a rock and roll/music vibe. Speaking with my best mate and fellow planner enthusiast (who has just bought a pocket Filofax croc and loving it), Carrie, she also felt that she associates certain planners with certain times in her life, as do I. I wasn’t reaching out for my beloved Pocket Malden’s, I noticed. It’s been an interesting year for sure!Ĭoming slowly out of lockdown and starting to get a little life into my world other than work or decorating, I was forgetting things I needed to do or places I needed to be. Taking part in the Thursday evening doorstep applauses for the Keyworkers and doing the double back to my car almost every time to grab my mask before entering a supermarket/convenience store. I’ve also been working constantly through lockdown, like many others, mostly from home. I’ve also moved house (during Lockdown #1, buying and selling was sure fun!) and tried and failed to help an ex battle alcoholism. It’s such an iconic design, don’t you think? I must admit when I think of a “planner”, I automatically think of the Malden. How have you been? It’s been a while hasn’t it?įor the last 18 months or so, I’ve been in my pocket Malden’s (I have ochre, fuchsia and kingfisher blue now). Nice to see you all, you see you nice, and all that :). If I don’t get to you sooner, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to all! Sorry for the short post today, I thought I’d send the question out to see people’s thoughts on this… as for the change of style in the Pocket Malden, more info will be coming once I’ve finished playing around with it □ What are people’s thoughts on popping stickers on their actual planner? Or pins/badges/brooches? Has anyone done this? Now I follow a lot of planner addicts on Instagram and although many pages are loaded up with stickers and washi and a myriad other ways to decorate their weeks or monthly spreads… but most protect their planners and as well as putting their planners in protective bags, many tend not to decorate the actual planner itself. The antiqued leather, the contrast stitching, the relaxed feel to it, the larger ring size, the full length back pocket, the pocket at the back that enables me to slot my iPhone SE (I’m aware it’s old, but I prefer small phones and I’m not sure I want my face to be how I unlock my phone!) into the back pocket, the suppleness or the leather… I don’t know. I wish I could tell you what it is about this binder I love, but I simply can’t put it into words. Mini sticker from the 2012 Dovecraft Collection – knew it would come in handy!Īaaaaaand I’m back in the Malden.
