I know that this time of the year, a lot of people will be planning their Christmas and summer holidays. When you are super busy or are going away on a holiday, you will definitely want your nail polish to last a while! Who wants to be re-painting their chipped nails on holiday?!<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I have a review of <a href="http://sensationail.com.au/">Sensationail</a> for you. Sensationail is a gel polish system that will give you up to 2 weeks of wear! Perfect for this busy time of year, or for your summer holiday. <i>Or </i>a perfect Christmas gift for someone special in your life!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a few Sensationail products to talk about, but I'll start with the <a href="https://www.sensationail.com.au/category/starter-kits">Starter Kit</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Starter Kit comes with a Pro 3060 LED Lamp (<i>which you must have to use Sensationail products, as it's used to cure the gel - the polish will not set without it)</i>, the gel primer, gel cleanser, base & top coat, the coloured gel polish <i>(choose between Scarlet Red and Raspberry Wine)</i>, as well as some lint free pads to use with the gel cleanser, a nail file and a cuticle stick, and the instructions, of course.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>(If you're interested in seeing HOW TO apply/remove these products, check out the <a href="https://www.sensationail.com.au/howto">How To page</a> on the Sensationail website. I won't be going over that in this post, as I have already done so in other posts.)</i></div>

Here is <i><a href="https://www.sensationail.com.au/category/colours">Scarlet Red</a></i>, the day after I applied it. It's a gorgeous, classic bright red. I used just two coats. I've tried a few red gel polishes and this would have to be one of the nicest. However, when I was applying the top coat, I did experience some of the red transferring to the top coat brush. Other than that, I had no problems at all!</div>

Here is <i><a href="https://www.sensationail.com.au/category/colours">Scarlet Red</a> </i>after 1 week of wear. There is no visible wear, apart from my nails having grown out, obviously. It still looks exactly the same as when I applied it, and is still very shiny! I definitely think it would last the two weeks that they promise. I get tired of my nail colour after a week, however and wanted to change it up.</div>

You can also buy <a href="https://www.sensationail.com.au/category/colours">Sensationail colours</a> separately. Here I have <i>Pink Chiffon</i>, <i>Pink Daisy</i> and <i>Taupe Tulips</i>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So far I have only had a chance to try <i>Taupe Tulips</i> but I hope to try the others soon and give you a look at those.</div>

Here is <i><a href="https://www.sensationail.com.au/category/colours">Taupe Tulips</a> </i>after about 6 days of wear. It looked exactly the same as when I first applied it! Perfect and shiny. I used 3 coats for this one, as it was a little sheer with just two. This is such a nice nude colour. I absolutely love it.</div>

Here are a few other items that are in my opinion, optional but are <i>definitely</i> handy to have:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLMIpqBPOIemhoEv8QlAXMxQ5ojgtLgyGKG-uVgtOBVQpLXmiB-UKNVQq-XTMiyDzYZ-aG5staW2RMWHl3PDSDY0Koe3_hBsFeObeW6XzUisexuajwlpZW6n0OdMcvKGYs2K1d4OjDVU/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzLMIpqBPOIemhoEv8QlAXMxQ5ojgtLgyGKG-uVgtOBVQpLXmiB-UKNVQq-XTMiyDzYZ-aG5staW2RMWHl3PDSDY0Koe3_hBsFeObeW6XzUisexuajwlpZW6n0OdMcvKGYs2K1d4OjDVU/s1600/2.png" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The <a href="https://www.sensationail.com.au/product/71583/removal-kit">Gel Polish Removal Kit</a> includes a 125mL bottle of Gel Polish Remover, as well as 30 foil removal wraps.<i> (Nail file and cuticle stick are also included - not pictured).</i><br />
I really liked this but honestly, I wouldn't purchase it when I run out. I usually use pure acetone to remove my gel polish, with some regular aluminium foil and cotton balls and it does the job. But it is a nice kit to have.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWlACYwiRFpHLbLWtJUbbjqHGb8qP_Rhs0c0spXQUj3HQSS9fvRMODg4IRyVCLrqyy91vhu5F4khEVEVYI-q0foG15ZmQmPuy6iM84GyWD6brt26KNrlvaf-xAzIn0cIIEx-xa5rVWcRc/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWlACYwiRFpHLbLWtJUbbjqHGb8qP_Rhs0c0spXQUj3HQSS9fvRMODg4IRyVCLrqyy91vhu5F4khEVEVYI-q0foG15ZmQmPuy6iM84GyWD6brt26KNrlvaf-xAzIn0cIIEx-xa5rVWcRc/s1600/3.png" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />I <i>really </i>like the <a href="https://www.sensationail.com.au/product/71614/removal-tool">Gel Polish Removal Tool</a>! However, I would not say that it is the most "gentle way" to remove gel polish. If you use a heavy hand, you could <i>definitely</i> damage your nails with it. You must be very careful when using it.<br />
I don't know if it's intended for this, but I actually like using it to push my cuticles back! But again, you have to be extremely careful!<br />
<br />

<br />
The only problem I had with Sensationail, was the removal. I found it a bit harder to remove than other gels I have tried. You have to file the top surface of the nail first, to remove the top coat and then soak as normal. I soaked my nails for 15 minutes but found that I had to re-wrap my nails another time because it was very hard to scrape off. I also had some base coat left over even after buffing my nails. But if it's harder to remove, that means your polish will last longer so it has it's pros and cons. Having said this, I still recommend Sensationail. I think the removal process is worth it.<br />
<br />
I absolutely recommend Sensationail to anyone who is interested in trying out an at-home gel manicure kit! It's the best one I have tried so far. I love that their products are so easily accessible.<br />

<br />I am so sorry about the absence here on my blog lately. Things have been <i>hectic</i> to say the least but I have a few posts planned for the coming weeks so hopefully I can get back into the swing of things for you guys. I miss blogging a lot.<br />
<br />
Today I have a review of a planner item to share with you!<br />
<br />
This item is from a fairly new shop, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/charliesplannergoodies">Charlie's Planner Goodies</a>. She sells her items through her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/charliesplannergoodies">Facebook page</a>.<br />
<br />
She sells cute items for Filofaxes/similar planners including dashboards, monthly sticky tabs as well as dividers.<br />
I have one of Charlotte's handmade dashboards to show you today, which has an elastic pen loop attached to it! The one I have to show you is a Pocket sized dashboard, but she does them for all the Filofax sizes.<br />
<br />
Her dashboards is made of a sturdy card stock and is covered with a patterned paper of your choice. They have a thick elastic pen loop on the right hand side.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkwjgTrIx7XetOab-kU3O0LcS8OqjnmHawhk_h5Ild0lZkIkM8gvvus_nyXLRcdipzGVdW3TWAcx4EKiPfpzuuU7JLrhHoqmvVmibhbQ9Ma1pw0HlLZH9uwewLz4me07Y42cKPePm8BF8/s1600/Charlies-Planner-Goodies-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkwjgTrIx7XetOab-kU3O0LcS8OqjnmHawhk_h5Ild0lZkIkM8gvvus_nyXLRcdipzGVdW3TWAcx4EKiPfpzuuU7JLrhHoqmvVmibhbQ9Ma1pw0HlLZH9uwewLz4me07Y42cKPePm8BF8/s1600/Charlies-Planner-Goodies-01.png" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The dashboard I have, is a very cute pastel polka dot pattern. Here it is inside my Small Lilac Kikki.K planner.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyOYNKvM7iQ4HdsHHOnNJ0CRGf8KUA6IdFHFOoCNJQO5Y3eR4OkoWc7iOkpCpEpgOF04P36aUPYROGqPJ00oMQpkrAl5XPgTX8Ap9Dw6_DpaPxPrnWoTKJ63Qpb3t5DL9EhUhDT8UygU/s1600/Charlies-Planner-Goodies-02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyOYNKvM7iQ4HdsHHOnNJ0CRGf8KUA6IdFHFOoCNJQO5Y3eR4OkoWc7iOkpCpEpgOF04P36aUPYROGqPJ00oMQpkrAl5XPgTX8Ap9Dw6_DpaPxPrnWoTKJ63Qpb3t5DL9EhUhDT8UygU/s1600/Charlies-Planner-Goodies-02.png" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The elastic pen loop is quite thick and will hold most pens. I used a Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto pen and a thick Sharpie Pen in it, and it held them very well.<br />
I think the loop is too wide to hold something like a Frixion Slim pen (it may slip through), but if you do want it specifically to hold a slim pen, I'm sure Charlotte would accommodate that for you.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTUv5CVPjoG7MDb98W7EoL5GzX3_xix52a3EKSNp6SDrI6A0hZ83azaV9UX2oTDrVi4SrH8RFCfCjAph8a3mXMMKjJanUQUqNuerJKLrYowY-yFn6PVGvmT4TYkM6sHEkGpFS7wFlQDCA/s1600/Charlies-Planner-Goodies-03.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTUv5CVPjoG7MDb98W7EoL5GzX3_xix52a3EKSNp6SDrI6A0hZ83azaV9UX2oTDrVi4SrH8RFCfCjAph8a3mXMMKjJanUQUqNuerJKLrYowY-yFn6PVGvmT4TYkM6sHEkGpFS7wFlQDCA/s1600/Charlies-Planner-Goodies-03.png" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
When I first tried out this dashboard, to be honest, I was a little worried that it would not hold up over time and may be flimsy, but was proven wrong. I used it for a couple of weeks and it was fine and has held up nicely! I wouldn't go tugging on it like crazy, or trying to fit a <i>huge </i>pen in it, but if you treat it nicely I'm sure it will last you quite some time!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijctxwfPXg3wqMU7jM9Uup2WMp2_IHS2TZBcIb8Hzh2_EJZPj_a4MhJp5OYXl6GT-E6cCqEBLlq3RS7UrN3WMfD1Dg-MZFKxecn7ZaFJFf5_-6oNRUDRa0fa48fGjP1g5KNcig6BaZsRM/s1600/Charlies-Planner-Goodies-04.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijctxwfPXg3wqMU7jM9Uup2WMp2_IHS2TZBcIb8Hzh2_EJZPj_a4MhJp5OYXl6GT-E6cCqEBLlq3RS7UrN3WMfD1Dg-MZFKxecn7ZaFJFf5_-6oNRUDRa0fa48fGjP1g5KNcig6BaZsRM/s1600/Charlies-Planner-Goodies-04.png" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This dashboard will be great for anyone who wants to add an extra pen loop to their planner. I definitely could have used these when I had a Kate Spade planner as the pen loops on those can be very tight and it was hard to find a pen to fit in! But even if your planner's pen loop is fine, it's always nice to be able to carry an extra pen.<br />
<br />
Charlotte's dashboards are $6 for Mini/Pocket size and $8 for Personal/A5 size.<br />
<br />
Charlotte also sells some other planner items such as monthly tabs and dividers (in particular superhero/comic dividers which look so <b>awesome</b>!). Be sure to check out her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/charliesplannergoodies">Facebook page</a> to see what she's got to offer! Send her a message or write a post on her page. She's super nice!<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, everyone! I hope you'll come back soon as I hope to get myself back into the swing of things on here, especially in the new year! ♥<br />

Ah, I feel like I say this every time I post but I'm so sorry for the lack of posts. Argh, I feel really awful about it. I'm sorry! I have been pretty busy with my Etsy shop lately, and other stuff. You know how it goes!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I shared a video on my YouTube channel on Friday showing an unboxing of my new <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/stationery/planners/2015-time-planner/pink-textured-leather-personal-planner">Pink Textured Kikki.K Planner</a>! You can check it out <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL0X0mz_qbc&list=UUJ7AaT8GVqWGm8ZdWJO-Pqg">here</a></b>, or watch below! :)<br />
<br />
I hope to have a video up later this week or early next week, showing how I'm using this planner and my current planning system. I'm trying to figure out what works best for me, but it just keeps changing!<br />

Happy <b>Filofax Friday</b> friends! :) </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Today I have another Planner First Impressions. {Check out my <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html">Large Kikki.K Lilac First Impressions</a> & my <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/09/kikkik-small-lilac-time-planner-first.html">Small Kikki.K Lilac First Impressions</a>.}</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is the Filofax Original in the Patent Purple colour, in Personal size.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdZ0FbZll2F0ghIGtn5OVxZli4z3gErqqEcMzQmLP4hRGQsdygFZuOkRz6lA4JvB9UPm9IuUhRQCw7fPIg6AS_2I9yNebrPtPhbdzyrX7Wf1bstxAq2SJKmWTg06NdPNpZGjLASrdq5Nc/s1600/filofax-purple-original-02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdZ0FbZll2F0ghIGtn5OVxZli4z3gErqqEcMzQmLP4hRGQsdygFZuOkRz6lA4JvB9UPm9IuUhRQCw7fPIg6AS_2I9yNebrPtPhbdzyrX7Wf1bstxAq2SJKmWTg06NdPNpZGjLASrdq5Nc/s1600/filofax-purple-original-02.png" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
I kind of bought this on a whim from eBay, to be quite honest. I was looking at a few different Filofaxes, and this one was the cheapest {and was located here in Australia} so I bought it. {If you are looking for one of these, <a href="http://petersofkensington.com.au/">Peters of Kensington</a> usually has them in stock.}</div>
<div dir="ltr">
A day or two after buying it, I was having second thoughts.<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I have had a Filofax Original before {in Fluro Pink} and <i>loved it</i>, but I had watched some videos on YouTube of the Patent Purple and wasn't sure how I'd feel about it. Being <i>Patent</i> Purple, it's shiny and glossy, whereas the Fluro Pink had much more of a matte look. A medium tone purple like this isn't something I would usually reach for, either.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Plus, the package took a <i>whole week</i> to get to me from just two states away, when it really should have only taken 3-4 days max. {Not the seller's fault, of course.} That was a bit frustrating, because I'm super impatient with mail.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I thought that when I received this, that I wouldn't be impressed and I'd just want to sell it straight away. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>Buuuut</i> I actually really like it!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The leather is shiny as expected, but not in a tacky way. Some photos and videos I'd seen had made the shine look a bit tacky and unattractive. But in real life, it's much nicer! :) I love the feeling of the leather!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I'm happy to report that this Original that I have is the newer version.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The first release Original Filofax had a shorter strap and people were finding it hard to fit a lot in. The newer version's strap is a bit less than 4 inches long, and the older one was 3.5. It might not sound like much, but apparently it makes a huge difference!</div>
<div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I love the simplicity of the interior of the Filofax Original, but lately I've actually been utilizing the pockets in my Filofaxes - I never used to use the pockets. So it will be a bit different to go from lots of pockets in my Malden, to almost no pockets in the Original.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I also love how the Originals almost lay flat right out of the package. This one doesn't lay quite as flat as my Fluro Pink one did but it's still quite flat. The one thing that annoys me about my Malden, is that it doesn't lay totally flat on the table.</div>

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
My Original didn't come with everything that a brand new Original is supposed to come with, which is the only thing I'm a bit bummed about. The seller did mark it as Brand New, but in the description they said that only the 2014 Diary, dividers, note paper {it ended up being only the grid paper}, ruler and note pad were included. I would have really liked to have gotten the top loading envelope because I don't have one {I sold all mine when I thought I wasn't using Personal size anymore. D'oh!}, but oh well. I'll get one eventually.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The Filofax itself is definitely brand new, though. I can't see any signs of use and I received it in the plastic protective packaging.</div>

Today I am so excited to bring you my first indie nail polish swatch & review post since March! Wow. I can't believe it's been that long. I hope I can do these polishes justice that I'll be sharing today!<br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I have the new <b>Patisserie Collection</b> by <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/hollishnails">Hollish</a> to share with you! :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are 6 polishes in this collection and they are all pastel crelly <i>(creme/jelly)</i> polishes with metallic and holographic silver micro-glitter as well as other glitter.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All of these polishes are gorgeous, and so perfect for the spring time. I am super impressed with all of the colours!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQxjjLl9j_dH68PcuzcQ6Evq2AZQacqU-S3R3sYa5EKvDpo0-8E_im6Ve_JeWteqTmRohxNOlL6D3SU-HXJaWLTciriv0uMQZD93LMQn7u8e5n_Ni8zwWAb8Cy6t8nWJ0pCFz5qonPyuY/s1600/collection.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQxjjLl9j_dH68PcuzcQ6Evq2AZQacqU-S3R3sYa5EKvDpo0-8E_im6Ve_JeWteqTmRohxNOlL6D3SU-HXJaWLTciriv0uMQZD93LMQn7u8e5n_Ni8zwWAb8Cy6t8nWJ0pCFz5qonPyuY/s1600/collection.png" height="354" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>First I will just talk about the formula, because almost all of these polishes had the same formula. :) They went on very smooth, with good glitter payoff! Most were a little sheer on the first coat and needed 3 coats for opacity but some were great with just two. {I'll tell you how many coats I used for each.}<br />
<br />
<div>
<b>Aquaberry </b>is a pastel aqua with small holographic rose and dark pink hex glitters.<br />
I really gravitate towards these types of aqua/turquoise/mint-y colours in the springtime.<br />
I used 2 coats + 1 coat of top coat.<br />

<b>Buttercream</b> is a pale yellow with small holographic rose and dark pink hex glitters.<br />
I don't usually gravitate towards yellow polish but this one is really cute. I think this one would also be a cute Easter polish, even though that's like 6 months away. Haha.<br />

As promised in my <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/09/kikkik-small-lilac-time-planner-first.html">Small Kikki.K Lilac Planner First Impressions</a> post, today I have an update on the planner! :)</div>

Here is my little pretty. I have been using her for about a week now.<br />
<br />
In my <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/09/kikkik-small-lilac-time-planner-first.html">first impressions</a> post, I had said that I was a little disappointed with this planner.<br />
I felt that the quality wasn't as nice as my <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html">Large Kikki.K planner</a>*, and the rings weren't as great as I had hoped. They are much smaller than my other Pocket size planners, and they also had some slight gaps.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">{*The Large Kikki.K planner is actually on its way to a new home! Not because I didn't like it, I <i>loved</i> it! But I am not using A5 size planners anymore. I bought the Small one, because I still wanted to have one of these gorgeous planners in my collection.}</span><br />

<br />
However, after my week of using this beauty, I'm much happier!<br />
<br />
I do feel that this one is a little more stiff than the Large planner was, but I actually don't mind it now. It makes it easy to write on when I don't have a table to lean on.<br />
<br />
I did have to reduce the amount of inserts/information I keep in my planner when I moved into the Small Kikki.K from my <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/filofax-pocket-ochre-malden-my-new-baby.html">Filofax Malden</a> {that baby holds a <b>lot</b>}, but it's okay. I would prefer the rings to be a little larger, but oh well.<br />

<br />
I do still think that this planner would work better as a wallet, or for someone who doesn't want to keep much in their planner.<br />
<br />
It's not my <i>favourite</i> planner, but I do really like it now. :) It's very cute!<br />
<br />
I will also have a set up video of this planner on my <a href="http://youtube.com/lissapolishaddiction">YouTube channel</a> ASAP, so stay tuned for that.<br />
<br />

Hope you had a fantastic weekend & Father's Day {for those of you in Aussie-land}. What did you get up to? :)<br />
<br />
I can't remember if I mentioned here on my blog or not, but my nails are very damaged at the moment. I committed a nail crime a couple of weeks ago when I was wearing fake nails, and pulled them off, instead of soaking off like you're supposed to.<br />
Needless to say, my nails are now extremely weak, peeling and awful! They were also super painful at first, which was <i>horrible</i>. Thankfully they aren't really painful anymore.<br />
<br />
Since my natural nails are awful, I'm trying to grow the damage out. I decided to try and stick to mostly gel manicures for a while, as they last longer and many people also say that gel manicures add a layer of protection to your nails and help them to grow, which I do believe is true.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is a gel polish from one of my favourite brands, Arte Clavo. I don't know a lot about the brand, to be honest, but I found them by accident on eBay. They sell <i>very</i> affordable gel polishes, and almost all of them are dupes {or similar - some aren't <i>exact </i>dupes} for CND Shellac polishes. I don't know about you, but I'd never be able to afford all of my favourite colours if I used Shellac polishes. Which is why I love these Arte Clavo polishes. I use them along with my Gelish Foundation & Top It Off base and top coats. :)<br />
<br />
This polish is called <i>Cake Pop</i>. It is a gorgeous light pink creme. I needed 3 coats for opacity.<br />
I don't believe it's an exact dupe for the CND polish, but it is similar. {I think the CND polish might lean a little more on the blue-y side of pink, and is a <i>little</i> lighter.}<br />
<br />

<br />
I totally love this colour! Lately I have been gravitating towards light pinks and other pastel colours. I guess that's because springtime is starting.<br />
<br />
I find that the Arte Clavo polishes apply great and last just as long as any other gel polish. I know that some people don't agree with using the cheaper gel polishes but I don't have a problem with it.<br />
I wore this gel manicure for about 5 days before I got bored of it. I do think it would've lasted <i>at least</i> a few more days!<br />
<br />
I also wanted to share with you a mini nail haul that arrived in my mail box today! :) I bought two items from the seller "<a href="http://stores.ebay.com.au/Enchanted-Beauty-Spot">enchantedbeautyspot</a>" on eBay.<br />
<br />

<br />
I made this eBay order mainly for the Nailtiques Formula 2 nail strengthener. I heard about this from <a href="http://youtube.com/turningthepages">Lindsay Does Nails on YouTube</a>. You might know that my favourite strengthener has been Duri Rejuvacote for over 2 years now, but lately I haven't really been seeing results when I use it, so I decided to try something new! :) I will update you on my thoughts.<br />
<br />
I didn't want to pay shipping for just one item, so I also bought the Orly Gel FX gel polish in <i>Beach Cruiser</i>! This is a <b>super</b> bright neon pink. I am <i>sooo</i> excited to try it out when summertime comes around! {Although I am not excited at all for the sticky disgusting-ness that comes with summertime.} I think it will be an amazing pedicure colour.<br />
This will be my first time trying an Orly gel polish so that's exciting too! I only own a few "name brand" gels.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for reading. Especially if you got all the way to the end. ;)<br />

I hope your week is going well so far. :)<br />
<br />
Today I have another planner <i>First Impressions</i> for you! I did one of these about a month ago, <b><a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html">here</a></b>, on the same product that I'm going to be showing you today, but in a different size!<br />
<br />
This is the <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/diaries-calendars/planners/2015-time-planner/2015-lilac-leather-time-planner-small-lilac">Kikki.K <i>Small</i> Lilac Time Planner for 2015</a>. {<a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html">Review on the Large size</a>.} This planner retails for $39.95 on the <a href="http://kikki-k.com/">Kikki.K website</a>. They can also be found in some Kikki.K stores.<br />
The Lilac Time Planner line was released at the end of July. At the time of writing, all 3 sizes are available on <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/diaries-calendars/planners/2015-time-planner">the website</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>FEATURES / LAYOUT</b><br />
<br />
The Small Kikki.K planner is equivalent to a Pocket size Filofax, which is my current favourite planner size and what I am using every day.<br />
This is my first time ever owning a Small Kikki.K planner. I have only ever owned Medium or Large.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The leather is a pretty lilac colour, with gold diamonds on the outside. The inside is plain lilac leather.<br />
<br />
The insides of this planner are very similar to the Large one, obviously, but it's a little more simple.<br />
On the left you have 3 card slots and a secretarial pocket.<br />
<br />

<br />
The tabs that you get in the Small Kikki.K planner are different to the Medium or Large, as the planner is obviously a lot smaller.<br />
The tabs and inserts that come in this planner are Monthly View, Weekly View and Addresses.<br />

<br />
The rings in the Lilac planner are gold, to match the lilac/gold colour scheme.<br />
I'm not sure what size these rings are, but they are definitely smaller than the rings in my Filofax Pocket Malden, which has 19mm rings.<br />
<br />

<b>FIRST IMPRESSIONS / OPINION</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I have to say, I was a little nervous when I was first opening up my planner. Although I had a great experience with my Large planner which arrived in good condition, I had heard a few people say that theirs arrived damaged and had some defects, especially regarding the rings. However, they were able to get a replacement or refund.<br />
To be 100% honest, my planner did not arrive in "<i>perfect</i>" condition. I do believe that all of the rings have a small gap to them, which is unfortunate. But for me, not a deal breaker, unless they were <i>very</i> damaged. I'm not really the type of person to return something unless it is extremely damaged or unusable, so I won't be returning my planner.<br />
<br />
While I love the look of the Lilac planner, I don't think that the quality of my Small planner is quite the same as the Large. I can't quite explain how. It doesn't feel as "squishy" or soft as the Large.<br />
<br />I thought it was also worth mentioning that the Small planner does not lay flat, unlike the Large planner which does. I'm sure you could get it to lay flat with some training.<br />
<br />
I also was a little disappointed by the size of the rings. It feels <i>much</i> smaller than my Filofax Pocket Malden, which I mentioned above.<br />
As soon as I received the planner, I moved right in. I'm the kind of person who likes to stuff my Filofax very full, and I just can't do that with this Kikki.K planner. I had to remove quite a lot of my inserts in order to fit everything inside.<br />
I think this may work better as a wallet, rather than an everyday planner. However, I will try it out and see how it goes.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd also mention <i>why </i>I purchased the Small size.<br />
If you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/elissaplans">Instagram</a>, or have read my last few blog posts, you will know that I am now using a Pocket {or Small in Kikki.K terms} size planner as my everyday planner.<br />
I was using an A5 {or Large} size for a couple of weeks near the end of July and start of August, before realising that it wasn't working for me, which is when I decided to try out Pocket size.<br />
I had thought I'd use my <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html">Large Kikki.K Lilac planner</a> as my Blog/Etsy planner. Well, that didn't happen. I barely touched it since I started using a Pocket size.<br />
I have decided to sell my Large planner, as I don't see myself using it again and didn't want to have it laying around, unused. {<i>It is on hold for someone at the moment.</i>} It is such a beautiful planner, but Large the size isn't great for me right now. This is why I have purchased the Small size!<br />
<br />
I hope this post was helpful for you to see how the Small Lilac Time Planner from Kikki.K looks and what I think about it.<br />
I'll hopefully bring you an update on it here soon, if not you'll definitely know by looking at my <a href="http://instagram.com/elissaplans">Instagram</a> account.<br />

Thanks for reading. ♥Elissa Vaughanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01563061859467468807noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833340366181749675.post-41797571533574297202014-09-01T14:46:00.000+09:302014-09-01T15:08:12.098+09:30Mani Monday: L'oreal 'Lacey Lilac' Hi everyone! Happy Monday & HAPPY SPRING!<br />
I am so excited that springtime & September are here. I really love this time of the year when it's starting to warm up a bit. {<i>Although I am <u>not</u> looking forward to summer/heat wave season, but that's still a few months away yet.</i>}<br />
It's a little ironic, however. We had lovely, warm, sunshine-y weather the past few days, but the first day of spring has been a little chilly and rainy.<br />
<br />
Being the first day of spring, I decided to paint my nails with a spring-y colour! The past few months I have really liked painting my nails to go with the seasons. In winter I enjoyed dark/muted colours, and now I'm reaching for more pastel/bright colours.<br />
<br />
This is <i>Lacey Lilac</i> by L'oreal.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I picked up this colour at <a href="http://www.rejectshop.com.au/">The Reject Shop</a> for about $3, if I'm remembering correctly. They had a few pastel colours there, that looked like they had been sitting on the shelf for months, and I decided to give this beauty a try. {<i>After Googling this polish, it seems it was from a limited edition spring collection from last year, so I'm not sure how readily available it would be now.</i>}<br />
<br />
<i>Lacey Lilac </i>is such a pretty spring colour. It's walking the line between pink and purple. Depending on what the lighting is like, sometimes it will lean very pink, and sometimes very purple.<br />
The polish has a nice brush, with a slightly curved tip, making it easy to cover the nail.<br />
It went on a little streaky on the first coat, but the second evened it out. I added one coat of Seche Vite top coat to finish off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I can definitely see myself reaching for this colour again soon. Pinks and purples are my favourite in the spring!<br />
<br />
PS. A lot of you requested more nail posts in my Requests/Suggestions post, so I couldn't ignore that kind of response! I've decided to try and put out a blog post whenever I paint my nails. I can't promise anything, but I will try to put up at least one nail post per week. :) <i>But</i> there was also quite a lot of you that said you wanted to still see my planners, so I will also be continuing those posts.<br />
<br />
{<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Just know, I don't wear anything <u>super</u> exciting on my nails these days. If you follow my <a href="http://instagram.com/elissaplans">Instagram</a>, you would probably know that I did a huge destash of my collection recently. I can now easily fit my collection into a shopping bag. I only own a few glitters, because I'm really only gravitating towards creamy colours</span></i>.}<br />
<br />
<div>
Some people had also requested to see things like nail care, polish clean up, etc. I actually have some videos on my <a href="http://youtube.com/lissapolishaddiction">YouTube channel</a> relating to those things if you are interested. I also have a <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/search/label/Nail%20Care">nail care</a> section on my blog which contains some things like nail care, as well as other nail related tips & tricks.<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a fantastic week. ♥</div>

Happy Filofax Friday!<br />
<br />
Today I have the next post in my Getting Started series for you. In the first post I went over the different brands of planners there are. If you missed that, you can check it out <b><a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/getting-started-choosing-planner-1.html">here</a></b>.<br />

<br />
In this post I'll be talking about insert options for your planner! I'll mostly be discussing inserts and calender styles for binder/ring style planners here, as you can't really change your inserts in any other planner.<br />
<br />
You can definitely go ahead and use whichever inserts come with the planner you choose to purchase, but if they for any reason don't suit your needs, you might be looking for some different options.<br />
With 2015 coming up in a few short months, many of you will be looking for some new inserts/refills for your planner.<br />
<br />
When it comes to inserts, there are a few different styles that are the most common.<br />
<ul>
<li>Week on 2 Pages <i>{also known as Week To View, or WO2P}</i>.</li>
<li>Month on 2 Pages <i>{also known as Month To View or MO2P}</i>.</li>
<li>Day Per Page <i>{also known as Day on 1 Page or DO1P / DPP}</i>.</li>
</ul>
<div>
There are many more styles out there, but these are the most common. Most planners/organizers will come with at least one of these styles already included in the planner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are many different places that you can choose to purchase your inserts. Each brand will offer different styles and types of pages for your planner.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few brands that make planner inserts are <b><a href="http://filofax.com.au/">Filofax</a></b>, <b><a href="http://kikki-k.com/">kikki.K</a></b>, and <b>Kate Spade </b>{<i>for Aussies the K.S. inserts are a bit harder to find. I have seen some on eBay</i>}. There are many more, but I think these are the most popular for inserts available in stores or online.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another great place to find inserts is <b><a href="http://etsy.com/">Etsy</a></b>. Etsy is amazing for planner inserts! You can find pretty much <b>any</b> style that you want, in any style you want! There are so many amazing creators/shops that I can't name them all. Most of the inserts you will find on Etsy are printables however, so you'll need to print/cut/punch them at home. </div>
<div>
<i>Shameless plug:</i> I actually offer some printables on my <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/madebyelissa">Etsy shop</a> if you are interested. :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have tried <u>many many many</u> types of inserts in the 6-ish months that I have been using a Filofax planner. It's kind of embarrassing actually. I love trying out new inserts and switching things up!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most of the inserts I use nowadays are printables, because I'm impatient and don't want to wait for new inserts to come in the mail. And to be honest, they tend to work out a bit cheaper too. Sure, it's more work for me but I really don't mind it! I find it quite relaxing and fun, now that I've gotten comfortable with printing, punching and cutting my inserts. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My favourite Etsy shop to get my inserts would have to be <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/diyfish">DIYFish</a>. I always come back to her great inserts. They are the best I have found so far. She has <i>so so so </i>many different options, and I know, it can be a little overwhelming. I recommend checking out her <a href="http://wondereland.com/">blog</a> and looking at the Catalogue. I love that even in my Pocket planner, I still have enough room to write with her inserts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope this helped you a little, and you've learned a bit about the types of inserts that are out there and made your decision a little easier.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Let me know which inserts you love to use in your planner!</b></div>

Thank you so much for reading. ♥ I hope you have an amazing weekend.</div>

I actually <i>just</i> uploaded a setup of my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSGgPrp6hFY&list=UUJ7AaT8GVqWGm8ZdWJO-Pqg">Filofax Pocket Finsbury</a> this morning, when my new baby arrived! I moved in right away.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some of you probably think it's crazy how often new planners are coming into my possession, but I never keep them all! If I don't fall in love, I'll sell or swap it with someone. I won't keep a large collection for the sake of it as I feel like it's a huge waste and makes me feel so guilty!</div>
<div>
Right now, I have 3 planners total in my collection and I am using two of them. I talked about that a bit in my new <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSGgPrp6hFY&list=UUJ7AaT8GVqWGm8ZdWJO-Pqg">video</a>.</div>

<div>
This little beauty is the Filofax Pocket Malden in the Ochre colour. This is the second Ochre Malden that I've owned. I used to own it in Personal size too.</div>
</div>
<div>
This is the first Filofax I've owned that actually came in a box! I've only had a couple of other brand new Filofaxes, and they came with the plastic cover sort of thing that they seem to all come with now. I was pleasantly suprised to have a box. :)</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I love how the Maldens are all very unique to each other. The leather varies from planner to planner. The Personal size Ochre that I used to have, was more of a light brown, leaning more yellow than my Pocket size Ochre, which you can see is more reddish brown. The colour in the photos is pretty spot on to the colour in real life. The colour does change in different lighting and when you move it around in the light. The leather also varies in how smooth/wrinkled it is. The leather feels so beautiful and smooth. And it smells really nice too. Haha.</div>

If you watched the video, or if you follow me on Instagram, you would know that I'm now using a Pocket size Filofax as my everyday planner! I'm really enjoying it. I can take my planner with me everywhere I go, no matter what handbag I'm using at the time. And I just love how little and <i>cute</i> it looks!!</div>
<div>
I was inspired by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYDG0BoggXY">Organized Jen's vlog</a>, and <a href="http://instagram.com/filo_newbie14">@filo_newbie14 on Instagram</a> to move into a Pocket size. I'm so glad I did!</div>
<div>
My set up in this planner is exactly the same as what I showed in my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSGgPrp6hFY&list=UUJ7AaT8GVqWGm8ZdWJO-Pqg">video</a>. I'm currently using <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/diyfish">DIYFish</a>'s inserts in my planner, and I find that with these inserts I have plenty of room to write what I need to which is really great.</div>

<br />
I hadn't planned on posting a blog post today, but I just got the urge to write something. So here I am!<br />
<br />
I'm pretty excited that it's the weekend! Saturday in particular. Saturdays are probably my favourite day. I <i>love</i> Saturday mornings! I don't really know why. I don't sleep in, I get up at the same time as I do every other day. Something about Saturday morning is just nice.<br />
Saturday afternoons, we usually do our food shopping and then spend the rest of the day at home.<br />
And then Saturday nights, my husband and I have a date night, which is always fun, no matter what we do! A lot of the time we just stay home and watch a movie {it's too cold go to out!}. So Saturdays are definitely my favourite!<br />
<b>What is your favourite day of the week?!</b><br />
<br />
I just painted my nails this morning, and I felt like showing you {and my pretty <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html">Kikki.K</a> in the background}! I've used Face of Australia "<i><b>Jafar</b></i>", a super dark, deep red {almost black!}, from their Dark Side collection. I absolutely love this collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5vH7YSo4Hd5ib2aEcWadqNCzMO9SoiTlpQq7SjhC9b5561Gtpf0ndIYlPAbpNvl9m_JcGPIKZCuFBNLjwtGTFjxxH4H4GpBqs5NhO2I_9QkRTmquBkD25gyD0UTu_CgNhVNlIH_BgBTA/s1600/Phonto+(1).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5vH7YSo4Hd5ib2aEcWadqNCzMO9SoiTlpQq7SjhC9b5561Gtpf0ndIYlPAbpNvl9m_JcGPIKZCuFBNLjwtGTFjxxH4H4GpBqs5NhO2I_9QkRTmquBkD25gyD0UTu_CgNhVNlIH_BgBTA/s1600/Phonto+(1).png" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I have to be honest, though. These are not <i>my</i> nails. They're actually fake glue-on nails. I was trying to grow out my nails to this length/shape but it was just not happening. And I got so impatient. So, I bought some glue on nails. I told myself I'd never wear fake nails after I had acrylics back in the day, but I really like these! I don't think they actually look very fake {my opinion - you may think otherwise}. I know they'll only last me maybe 5-7 days maximum, because by then they will probably look a bit gross, but that's fine with me!<br />
<br />
I uploaded an updated look at my <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html"><b>Kikki.K Lilac Planner</b></a> set up on my <a href="http://youtube.com/lissapolishaddiction">YouTube channel</a> the other day, if you're interested in seeing that!<br />
I am absolutely <i>loving</i> my Kikki.K Lilac planner and I haven't moved out of it since I got it, which is weird for me. I can't even see myself moving out of it soon.<br />

Last week's Filofax Friday post, was a first impressions/review of the new <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html">Lilac Kikki.K Time Planner</a>.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I have received a lot of questions <i>(mostly on Instagram)</i>, asking about how to get started using a planner/personal organizer, how to choose one, etc. I will try to cover all of those questions in my Filofax Friday series! </center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
Today I'll be talking a bit about the types and brands of planners that are out there. The next post will be about sizes, and how to choose a planner for <i>your</i> needs.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
There are many, many, many, many types of planners out there in the planning world. There are many different sizes, materials, and prices, too!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Some types of planners include a binder ring style <i>(my personal favourite)</i>, traditional notebook style and coil/spiral bound. There are surely others out there, but I would say that they are the most common.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Binder style planners are probably the most popular with planner lovers. They are super customisable, as you can open up and close the rings as you please, like a binder, and remove/replace the inserts, or move them around, whatever you want to do. This also means that you can potentially use the same planner for years, just by putting in new inserts for each year! This is great news for anyone who is put off by the price of some leather planners. They may be a bit pricey now, but if you take great care of it, it could last you a long time!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Notebook and coil/spiral bound planners are also very popular, however. And their popularity seems to be increasing lately in the planner community. These types of planners would be the most common/popular in the <i>world</i>, rather than the <i>planner world</i>.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Within each type of planner, there are also different closure types. Some have a button, some have an elastic band, some might have a magnetic closure, some have a zip closure, and some have no closure. It all comes down to your personal preference. It's really nice that there are so many options out there. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Now let's talk about a few popular brands. I will keep this list down to the planners that I have personally tried, or heard a lot about. These brands are all available online. I like to search eBay for my planners, as well as Facebook swap/sell/trade groups, or buy directly from a retailer.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><a href="http://www.filofax.com.au/">Filofax</a>. </b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Filofax is a company, based in the UK. The company was founded in 1921! Whoa. Filofax are well known for their personal organisers <i>(another name for 'planners')</i>. Most of their personal organisers are made of leather and feature the 6 ring binder system.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I would say that Filofax is <i>the</i> most popular brand out there for the binder style planner. They make a huge range of styles, colours and sizes to suit anyone's needs, and their planners are beautifully made and great quality.<br />Filofaxes make <i>many</i> sizes of their organisers, but the most popular/common sizes are A5, Personal and Pocket! I'll be talking about planner sizes in my next post, and how to choose a size that suits your needs.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Here are a few of the Filofaxes I have had.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Filofax Personal size "Malden" in Ochre colour. I really miss this one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<center style="text-align: center;">
Filofax Pocket size "Patent" in Purple. I used this as my wallet for a while.</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><a href="http://kikki-k.com/">Kikki.K</a>.</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Kikki.K is a brand that I have known about for a few years now, but didn't fall in love with them until this year. I couldn't find as much information about Kikki.K online, but I do know that their first boutique store opened over 10 years ago. Kikki.K is a Swedish home/office style brand. They specialize in super cute stationery and office supplies. Despite being a "Swedish" brand, there are actually no Kikki.K stores in Sweden! Their main stores are based here in Australia, and there are also stores in Singapore, and New Zealand as far as I know. Kikki.K is well known for their super <i>adorable </i>designs! And not to mention, their cute-as-a-button planners. They make many different styles of planners, but their leather binder ring style planners would definitely be the most popular. They also make notebook style planners. Kikki.K actually just released their new range of Time Planners for 2015 a few weeks ago. See my first impressions <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/08/kikkik-lilac-time-planner-first.html">here</a>.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Here is another Kikki.K planner that I have had:</center>

<center style="text-align: center;">
Kikki.K 2014 Medium size Mint Time Planner. This planner is now quite hard to find. I miss this one also.</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><a href="http://katespade.com/">Kate Spade New York</a>.</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Kate Spade is a brand that most people would have heard of. Kate Spade are most well known for their handbags and fashion items. Owning something from Kate Spade had never come across my mind, until I heard that they made planners! Kate Spade leather planners are highly sought after in the planner community <i>(especially the older, discontinued styles)</i> and rightfully so, as they are beautifully made in my opinion! Their planners also have very wide rings, which is great for those who like to stuff their planner with lots of information. :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Kate Spade also make several different designs in a notebook style planner, which is also very nice!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kate Spade Wellesley Zipped Planner in Black.</center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<b><a href="http://erincondren.com/">Erin Condren</a>.</b></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Erin Condren is a brand that has become extremely popular over the past 6 months or so. They are most popular for their Life Planners. These planners are coil bound, but they are more than your average notebook or spiral bound planner. They come with lots of extras including stickers, a zip pouch, and their covers are even interchangeable! Their planners are super colourful, bright and fun, and feature a lot of cute and motivational quotes throughout the planner. Erin Condren also makes Teacher Planners. {This is the only brand that I have not tried from this list, but it is extremely popular, so I thought it was worth sharing!}</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
These are just a <i>few</i> of the options out there. There are many brands that make planners.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I actually don't own any of the planners that I showed in this post anymore. I swap and sell my planners quite frequently. Usually to fund more planner purchases. ;) But I do miss some of these ones!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I hope this post helped you get started in your planning journey if you haven't yet, or maybe opened your eyes to some brands out there that you haven't tried.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
In next week's post, I will be talking more about Filofax / Filofax style planners and their sizes, and which one to choose to suit your needs, so be sure to check back for that! :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

Welcome to my first <i>Filofax Friday</i> post! I hope to post one of these every week. Fridays will be all things Filofax/planner related. Tips, tutorials, hauls; you name it!<br />
My first Filofax Friday is pretty exciting, I think!<br />
<br />
This week, <a href="http://kikki-k.com/">Kikki.K</a> has released their new <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/diaries-calendars/2014-diaries/2014-time-planner">Time Planner line</a> for 2015! (<i>If you aren't aware, Kikki.K is a Swedish inspired stationery store. Their main stores are here in Australia, as well as other stores in Singapore and New Zealand. I think they will soon have stores in the US too!) </i>The 2014 Mint Time Planner was hugely successful and people are <i>still</i> hunting them down and paying crazy prices to get their hands on one! I was super excited to hear that the 2015 version was released and purchased myself one to try! I absolutely love the Kikki.K planners I've tried so far. I think they are really great for the price. <i>(They are the cheapest leather planners out there that I've found.) </i>The 2015 Time Planner is quite similar in design to the 2014 planner but I thought I would share my first impressions with you today, and how the planner comes when you purchase it.<br />
<br />
I thought I should mention that the Time Planner is <b>not</b> the same as the <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/diaries-calendars/2014-diaries/2014-time-planner">Berry/Grey Kikki.K <i>Personal</i> Planners</a> that are still available for purchase online. <i>(If you have a look at the Personal Planner on their website, you can see how it differs from the Time Planner.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Update 3/8/14 - </i>I have uploaded a video of my set up of this Kikki.K planner! If you're interested, check it out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tQ5cSf5kdA">here</a>, or at the end of this post.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<b>Note</b>: This post is picture heavy! :)<br />

<br />
First off, the 2015 Time Planner is made of really nice leather, in a lilac colour, with small gold foil diamonds all over it. I absolutely love the colour. The colour is quite different to the pictures on the website, however. It is much more of a true lilac purple, whereas the website makes it look pink. Just a thought for those who may not have liked it from the pictures online. Although, the colour is not that easy to photograph.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmilnGCB8zoPqTW_3meeGIlGuyIX0fLkmLySHtJWYWzX06YWJmdA6yrRD-1Dt3cf75CShyKqs8z8WXcBk33DJqDygI2Wn4bq67HVqMXbjnbAnlL3_m0wwWlUw8R5esvq1EBZqCrPhtcAs/s1600/1406880597253.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmilnGCB8zoPqTW_3meeGIlGuyIX0fLkmLySHtJWYWzX06YWJmdA6yrRD-1Dt3cf75CShyKqs8z8WXcBk33DJqDygI2Wn4bq67HVqMXbjnbAnlL3_m0wwWlUw8R5esvq1EBZqCrPhtcAs/s1600/1406880597253.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The Time Planner comes in 3 sizes <i>(Small, Medium and Large)</i>. I decided to try out the <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/diaries-calendars/2014-diaries/2014-time-planner/2015-leather-time-planner-large">Large</a> as I'm now using an A5/Large planner<i>. </i>More about that in another post!<br />
<br />
The Time Planner has an elastic closure. I know some people really aren't a fan of this. Personally, I do prefer a button/snap closure but the elastic isn't too bad. I do worry that it may get dirty with use. Although it should be fairly easy to clean.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAPLB4b6Px_3tLIX7tL2po9ADfNvaATEmdPDWxkzH-xl0jYlgqrmLP7jmx18TwD2q8V04zj-buWrm7vWFkwBA08WJe8mOEzNZKJa-7EiM6KRJjQcW1eCWpm_L9GAG3UOsOJp5jN1DXNgw/s1600/1406880674977.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAPLB4b6Px_3tLIX7tL2po9ADfNvaATEmdPDWxkzH-xl0jYlgqrmLP7jmx18TwD2q8V04zj-buWrm7vWFkwBA08WJe8mOEzNZKJa-7EiM6KRJjQcW1eCWpm_L9GAG3UOsOJp5jN1DXNgw/s1600/1406880674977.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Inside, on the left you will see 3 credit/business card pockets, 1 larger pocket, one secretarial pocket, one zipper pocket and one full length pocket. So it's safe to say you have a <i>lot</i> of pockets here.<br />
I noticed that behind the secretarial pocket, it is lined with cute black and white fabric! I don't believe that the 2014 Time Planner had this type of lining behind the pocket. It was a cute surprise!<br />

In the pocket, was this cute card that says "<i>2015 Live it Love it"</i>. I think this would be cute to use next year!<br />

The next thing, I am super excited about. <b>Gold rings! </b>I love gold rings in a planner. I think it looks gorgeous. The rings on my planner are awesome. No gaps or anything like that, which I was so happy about. I know that's very important to some people.<br />
Something that is different with the 2015 planner is that there is paper around the rings to protect them from denting the leather, rather than fabric like last year's. That's no big deal to me, because I'll be removing that before I use the planner <i>(as I assume most people would)</i>.<br />

The dividers in the 2015 planner are cute. I wasn't a fan of the dividers that came in the 2014 planner, as they were a dark navy colour. For 2015, you get these cute light pink dividers, with gold writing on the tabs! The tabs that come in the planner are <i>Monthly View, Weekly View, Addresses, Birthdays & Anniversaries, Shops & Restaurants, To Do, </i>and <i>Expenses. </i>I like these dividers much more than last year, but I probably won't be using them in my planner as I wouldn't use most of these sections.<br />

The "<i>This Week</i>" ruler that comes with this planner is a clear frosted style, and the writing on it is pink. I think that this ruler is a little thinner and less durable than last year's ruler, but it's not awful.<br />

<br />
Each section in the planner comes with inserts. Most of these are the exact same as from the 2014 planner, so most people would be familiar with them. The paper that comes in the planner is fairly thin, so you probably wouldn't be able to use a felt tip pen or anything without it bleeding through.<br />
Here are the inserts. The pictures are fairly self explanatory. <i>(Sorry! I forgot to include a photo of the monthly inserts! I will try to update the post soon with a photo.)</i><br />

In the back of the planner, you have a Notes pad. I believe these pages are the same size as the paper in the planner, so you could punch holes in your notes and insert them into your planner.<br />

Overall, I am super happy with my new planner! I absolutely adore the lilac colour. I am very happy with the quality as well! I cannot wait to move into it. I'll be sure to do an update post when I have set it up. There weren't too many changes from the 2014 planner, to the new 2015 one.</div>
<div>
My planner was packaged lovely, with lots of bubble wrap, as usual. Kikki.K always packages nicely.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you're interested in checking out the new Time Planners, you can find them <a href="http://www.kikki-k.com/diaries-calendars/2014-diaries/2014-time-planner">here</a>. I can't guarantee they will be available for long, though! They tend to sell out quickly as they are so popular.<br />
<br />
<i>Update 3/8/14 - </i>I've uploaded a set up video of my lilac Kikki.K!<br />

Hi everyone. I hope you have had a great weekend!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Today I want to talk to you guys about my blog, some FAQs and updates. Things have changed/are changing around here and I just want to update you and make sure everyone is in the loop!</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center><center style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCeCOeycD0gDZdT99-pR5gDuYkU6FH7yFDqzEazfHHU75NCpydQz5KhYMBvwoLgnhsyj8Qw4lpvcemuAyu019j_0t9uTFoqXNmOiAl3_eq241tNEb5_5k7PRaqAXsakaC2VHtLUeWAUu8/s1600/_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: sans-serif; text-align: center; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCeCOeycD0gDZdT99-pR5gDuYkU6FH7yFDqzEazfHHU75NCpydQz5KhYMBvwoLgnhsyj8Qw4lpvcemuAyu019j_0t9uTFoqXNmOiAl3_eq241tNEb5_5k7PRaqAXsakaC2VHtLUeWAUu8/s640/_3.jpg"></a><br></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I want to start by saying that this is no longer a nails <i>only</i> blog. My interests have changed over the last 6 months. I am no longer painting my nails every day <i>(now it's only once or twice per week)</i>, and when I do, it's usually a boring colour like pink or red, and sometimes it's a very bad paint job too! I have thought about doing weekly or fortnightly posts sharing my recent manicures, however. If you're interested in seeing that, please let me know. I do usually share them on <a href="http://instagram.com/elissa_vaughan">Instagram</a>, though. I also want to say that my Instagram is not a 'nails-only' account. It's not a 'planners-only' account. I post what I want, when I want, which is the way it should be, I think! I post my personal life, as well as planners and nails, and more! If I were still painting my nails all the time, of course I would post them every day. :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm really sorry to those who miss my nail posts. I understand how you feel as I've been disappointed when the blogs I love to read change or stop all together, but I don't want to solely blog about something that I'm not as passionate about anymore.</center><center style="text-align: left;">I won't be offended if you unfollow my blog if you're no longer interested. I've thought about starting a new blog all together, but I would post everything that I want to now <i>(planners, stationery, organisation, lifestyle, <u>occasional</u> nails/beauty)</i>, so nothing would change apart from a new site, but I would really prefer not to start all over again. Let me know what you think about that. There are pros/cons to both options honestly.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm planning to do an overhaul of my blog<i> (if I don't decide to move to a new blog) </i>in the next week or two. I've just given it a new layout, bought from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/MintyFoxDesigns">MintyFoxDesigns</a> on Etsy. Usually I design my own layouts but I felt like using someone else's design for a change. :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I also have some new series for my blog planned in the near future, which I think will be a lot of fun, so please be on the lookout for those! :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
If you have any questions at all about my blog, what's to come in the future, etc. I would be happy to answer, so please leave me a comment below.</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
I've thought about doing weekly recap posts for a while now. I've actually typed up a few over the past few weeks, but never got around to finishing and posting them. But today I am determined to actually get this one posted.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
In this post I'll be giving you some updates about my life, and what went on the past week. <i>(Disclaimer: My life is not that interesting so don't expect anything crazy. Haha!) </i>I may not do these posts every week. It depends if I have anything remotely exciting to talk about.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I had a pretty awesome week, really!</center>

My gorgeous new Kate Spade agenda came in the mail on Wednesday. This is the 'Wellesley Deborah'. You might remember that I had the Wellesley zipped agenda {posts <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/05/my-new-planner-kate-spade-wellesley.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/05/kate-spade-wellesley-set-up-on-go.html">here</a>} which I ended up swapping with someone, because I didn't really bond with it, and didn't really enjoy the zip style planner, although the planner was <b>so beautiful</b>, I couldn't justify keeping it if it didn't work for me. But I managed to snag the non-zipped version, for a really great price and <i>had</i> to have it. I totally adore it and I am <i>so</i> glad I found it!</center>

My siblings are just finishing up school holidays, they'll be going back to school next week. I spent quite a bit of time over the past 2 weeks hanging out with them which was nice! We went to the movies and watched <i>Rio 2 </i>and <i>How to Train Your Dragon 2</i> which were both pretty cute movies. I loved <i>Rio 2 </i>especially. :) If you know me, you'll probably know that going to the movies is one of my favourite things to do so I always love it.</center>

I started journaling this week in my new Fauxdori notebook. I did a post on it <a href="http://www.lissasloves.com/2014/07/fauxdori.html">here</a>. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. I've been using it for some random journaling, as well as a bit of a collage/scrapbook type thing. I'll also be incorporating the '30 Days of Lists' challenge into my Fauxdori!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
My husband and I also received our <b>wedding photos</b> this week! That was <i>definitely</i> the most exciting thing that happened! I am absolutely in love with them and cannot wait to show some of them to you guys on here and Instagram, as well as put them up around our place. I'll probably be making some sort of scrapbook/album with them too <i>(of course!)</i> so I might show you guys that as well when I get around to it. I'm super excited and can't thank our amazing photographer, <a href="http://rephotography.com.au/">Rachael</a> {Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RachaelElizabethPhotography">here</a>}, enough! She did such an incredible job. ♥</center>

I want to introduce you to my new "Fauxdori" journal! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
A Fauxdori is the faux version of a <a href="http://www.travelers-notebook.com/">Midori Traveler's Notebook</a>, which is a very popular journal. They have a leather cover, and have notebook inserts held in by elastic. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
If you're interested in knowing more about the Midori Notebook, I would definitely recommend checking out YouTube. There are <b>tons</b> of videos on there showing peoples' notebooks, how they use them, and even how to make your own!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The main reason that I decided to buy a Fauxdori <i>(as opposed to the real Midori)</i> was the price. I wasn't willing to pay the $60-70 <i>(I'm not exactly sure of the cost, but I know it was somewhere in that range)</i> for something I wasn't even sure I would like or if it would work for me. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://r.ebay.com/T8EPYL">My Fauxdori</a> costed about $25, and came with 3 notebooks. I think that is an <i>awesome</i> deal! It took about 3 weeks to arrive but that's okay with me. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Many people now make their own version of this notebook. You can find most on Etsy for a great deal. They also come in lots of different colours, styles and sizes which is really nice if you aren't a fan of the black and brown colours that Midori offer.</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I love notebooks. I always have. I love keeping notes and writing things. So I have always had a lot of notebooks. I really like that with the Midori/Fauxdori, you can add in and remove things. The Midori/Fauxdori holds a few notebooks within it. I have 2 in mine at the moment and am finding that it is pretty chunky so I don't know how people go about getting 4 or 5 notebooks in theirs!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I have wanted to start a journal <i>(not a Dear Diary type of thing, lol!) </i>of some sort for a while now and I think my Fauxdori will be perfect for it.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm still not 100% sure what I'd like to use my Fauxdori for, but I'm thinking one of the notebooks inside might be a prayer/bible study journal perhaps, and the other I will just use for general journaling. Maybe I'll try some art journaling.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Midori Traveler's Notebooks are mostly used for journaling purposes <i>(travel journaling specifically)</i>, but they can also be used as a regular journal, or even a planner. I really highly doubt I would ever use this as a planner but it's a cool idea!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've also added a charm to my Fauxdori! :) I've seen some really cute charms that people have on Instagram. I just decided to use one I had on hand. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I also decided to use some elastic that I had of my own to make the closure loop, instead of the elastic that they sent with it. I thought that the elastic they had was a little too thick and tough. <i>(You can see the original elastic in the first photo.)</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I also made myself a cover, with a pocket inside for one of the notebooks. All I did was cut a piece of scrapbook card, and put it around the individual notebook through the elastic.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
To make the pocket, I washi-taped a piece of scrapbook paper on the back of the scrapbook card. Super easy and only took me a few minutes to do. I will probably keep some stickers in there.</center>

One of my favourite Instagram accounts to follow is Erin <i>(<a href="http://instagram.com/hobbylane">@hobbylane</a>)</i>. A few days ago, she posted a <a href="http://instagram.com/p/pwd8LUAFyf/?modal=true">page from her journal</a> on her Instagram, featuring a '<i>Currently</i>' list. I don't currently do journaling but I thought it looked like a cool idea, so I thought I'd turn it into a blog post! A blog is kinda like a journal, right? Hope that's okay Erin. ;)</center>

Hi everyone! Happy last day of June. I hope it was a great month for you.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm going to share with you <i>My Planner Story</i> today. I thought it might help some of you who are looking at getting into planners and don't know where to start. Or have no idea what this whole thing is all about.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'll try not to blab on too much. ;)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've always adored stationery. When I was in school I collected stationery, like pens, notebooks etc. In high school I used a paper diary to track due dates, etc. After high school I stopped using a diary/planner. Once I started blogging, I decided to start using a diary again to track blog posts. That's all I used it for, though.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Fast forward to the start of 2014. I love watching <a href="http://youtube.com/organizedlikejen">OrganizedLikeJen on YouTube</a>, and reading her blog also. Earlier in the year I was watching some of her videos where she shared what her planner setup would be for this year. She uses many different planners but the one that particularly caught my eye was her Filofax. She also shared a list of girls she followed on Instagram who are also into planners, so I decided to look them up and I <u>fell in love</u>. I loved how they decorated their planners and how many options there were out there! This is where my journey with Filofax started! :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br />The planner that I chose to start with was the <a href="http://kikki-k.com/">Kikki K</a> Mint & Gold Time Planner, in Medium size, which is now discontinued. I found out about it when they had just put them on sale 30% off, and it was also my 21st birthday, so my lovely hubby bought one for me. Kikki K's planners are generally a bit cheaper than Filofax planners, which is why I chose to start there. At first, I thought it was absolutely insane to spend a large amount of money on a planner. I absolutely <i>adored</i> this planner. Mint is my favourite colour, so how could I not? ;)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">PS. I hear that Kikki K <i>may</i> be releasing a new mint planner in October! It won't be the same as the old one but I can't get enough of mint-coloured-anything, and I know some of you love it too.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
After a few weeks, I was getting more and more into this planner thing. I purchased lots of decorating goodies to go along with my planner and was finding out a lot more about the whole thing.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
That's when I bought my first real Filofax. I found one on a great deal on eBay! It was used but I was fine with that. That was the Filofax Finsbury in Raspberry.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've had, sold and swapped <i>many </i>planners since then, which is a little embarrassing when I think about it. Haha. It's just taken me a while to find something that works great for me and that I love.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I love keeping a few planners at a time. I don't use them all at once, however. I just use one, and switch all the inserts over to another when I feel bored with it.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
That's what is so <i>awesome</i> about these binder style planners! You can take out all the inserts and move them to another planner. You can potentially use the same planner <i>forever</i> if you take care of it. All you need is to purchase new inserts for each year. It's so cool.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I also love that I can have so much stuff all in love book! Some examples of different things I keep in there are: diary/calender, to do lists, other lists <i>(I am a huge list maker! I keep loads of lists in my planner)</i>, notes, addresses/contacts, my Etsy shop sales, pen pal trackers and notes, and <i>more. </i>It's so customisable. You can keep anything you like inside your planner.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Right now, I am using my beautiful Filofax Original in Fluro Pink. It is <i>definitely</i> bright, but so pretty. I adore the colour and I am absolutely loving the layout of the Original. I wasn't sure how I'd like it because it doesn't really have any pockets in the cover, but it's working out fabulously for me. It might be my favourite of all. In the future I might look into adding to my Original collection with another colour. Maybe a less 'out there' one. ;)</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
If you'd like to see my planner in action, I have a few setup videos on my <a href="http://youtube.com/lissapolishaddiction">YouTube channel</a>.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm sorry to any of you who aren't at all interested in seeing planner posts on my blog. If you want to unfollow, it's ok. I won't be offended. I <i>may</i> still post nail polish posts from time to time, but I can't promise anything. I do still wear nail polish <i>(I just don't change it as often as before, and I wear quite boring colours now to be honest) </i>if you are wondering. :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Thanks for reading, everyone. Hope you have an amazing week. ♥</center>

Hi friends! :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm so sorry that things have been quiet over here for the last month. It's really hard to get back into the routine of blogging after the wedding hiatus. It's also hard to come up with new ideas. <i>(Please let me know if you have anything you'd like to see on my blog! I'm open to suggestions!) </i>I really want to get back into it, though. I miss blogging!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Anyway. Today I thought I'd update you on what's been going on lately! </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Probably the <i>most</i> exciting thing that has happened lately, is that I opened an <b><a href="http://etsy.com/shop/madebyelissa">Etsy shop</a></b>! It was a pretty quick decision. The idea popped into my head when I was shopping for craft supplies and I quickly asked on Instagram if anyone would be interested if I opened up my own shop, selling planner goodies and stationery. I got a great response so it was decided. I spent a whole weekend getting crafty and making loads of goodies.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
So, last night I opened my shop, <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/madebyelissa"><b>Made By Elissa</b></a>. At this time I am only shipping within Australia, but I am looking into international shipping in the next couple of weeks. It shouldn't cost too much, either which is great news for my international friends!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I will be working on updating the shop about once a week with new goodies and I will post on <a href="http://instagram.com/elissa_vaughan">my Instagram</a> when I do. <i>(Speaking of Instagram, I have a </i><a href="http://instagram.com/elissa_vaughan">new account</a><i> and am not using my old one anymore. Please follow the new one if you haven't already!)</i></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
This is a really exciting thing for me and I'm so happy I'm able to do this because it's something I really enjoy doing, and it will keep me busy!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
The hubby and I have been married for about <b>2.5 months</b> now. <i>(What?!) </i>Time is going so fast. It's crazy! We should have our wedding photos back soon which is really exciting. I can't wait to see them! I will probably do a wedding post when we get them and show you a bit of our day, so keep an eye out for that! :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
It's quite different, being married and adjusting to that, but it's also been really fun and it's so nice to be with my best friend all the time. :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'm still very much obsessed with planners. My collection seriously changes every week. I've been swapping & buying new planners and changing up my collection ALL the time as I find what works best for me. I love it and it keeps me organised which is very important, because otherwise I would get absolutely <i>nothing</i> done, and forget everything!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I've started making YouTube videos again! I changed my channel name to <a href="http://youtube.com/lissapolishaddiction"><b>Elissa's Planners</b></a> but all my nail videos are still there and will remain there. I've started uploading planner videos. So far I have two planner set-up videos, one <i>(outdated) </i>collection and a 'what's in my stationery/planner case' videos! I want to keep working on new videos so if you have any requests please let me know!</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Thanks so much for reading, everyone! ♥</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Don't forget to check out my <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/madebyelissa">shop</a>, and if you have any blog/video requests, please let me know. :)</center>

Last week I showed you my new Kate Spade Wellesley zip around personal organizer/planner. In that post you saw it exactly how I received it, but today I'm going to show you what it looks like now, after I have set it up and personalised it! :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I'll also show you what is in my on-the-go stationery organiser at the end of the post.</center>

I have been using my Kate Spade for almost a week now, and I am loving it! It's so nice and luxurious! The rings are quite a bit larger than my other planners, so I can fit more in here. </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
The interior is also <i>super</i> cute, which you'll see below! :)</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: left;">
Here's what you'd see when you first open up my Kate Spade. </center>

As you can see, I haven't filled up the 8 card slots on the left yet. I'm not quite sure what I'd like to put in there.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
At the moment, all I have in the pockets are a little Project Life card, that I wrote my Bullet Journal key on. {<i>If you'd like to know what Bullet Journaling is, check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHdMg_nV6IQ">this YouTube video</a>. I'm not actually using a Bullet Journal, but I like using a little system like this for my daily pages & to do list.</i>} </center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I also have a few little orange sticky tabs in there.</center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the left opening pocket behind the card slots, I keep some of my most used sticky notes, washi tape samples, stickers {<i>Martha Stewart & Kmart labels</i>}, and sticky tabs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't keep anything in the right opening pocket behind the card slots at the moment.</div>

Right now, the first thing in my Filofax is a journaling card. {<i>See 2 photos above</i>.} I believe it's a Kaiser Craft one. I usually don't have this there, but I just felt like popping it there on the front today. It's cute and happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Behind the journaling card is my dashboard, that I made myself from some glittery scrapbook card. {<i>I also made my dividers with the same pack of scrapbook card.</i>} I stuck one of our wedding pictures on top of it, and then laminated and hole punched it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also have a cute little bear paper clip on my dashboard in case I need it.</div>

<br />
After my dashboard, I have a cute 2014 overview that I downloaded from <a href="http://little-miss-anna.blogspot.com/">Little Miss Ann</a><u>a</u>, and then printed and laminated it. I edited it to put my name on it. :) She also has super cute monthly & weekly inserts that you can download. I got this idea from Erin Joy on YouTube, to mark off the months that have passed with a sticker.<br />
<br />
I also have a little sticky note with a Kikki K wish list on it.<br />

Here's also a look at my dividers and tabs. I don't have them labelled because I don't have a label maker, but I also don't like to set anything in stone since I'm always changing up my planner.<br />
<br />
My first section is the Calendar, and within that section I have Month, Week and Today tabs.<br />
The second tab is Lists and Notes. Within there I have a 30 Days tab {<i>I'm doing '30 days of lists' journal in my planner every day. I compiled a list of prompts and every day I choose one from this list</i>}. In this section I have my wish lists, date night ideas for my hubby & I, movies & TV shows I want to see, nail polish wish list, music to download, and then lots of note paper {<i>I love the lined paper from <a href="http://etsy.com/shop/kiddyqualia">Kiddy Qualia on Etsy</a>. Her inserts in general are fantastic and the paper is amazingly thick.</i>}<br />
The third tab is Home. I realised that I had a few 'home' related lists in my Lists and Notes section, so I thought it needed its own tab. In here I have a wish list for home related items, as well a list of foods we have and need to be eaten {<i>so bad at remembering what we have, and it ends up going off!</i>}, etc.<br />
The next tab is Blog. In here all I have right now is a list of blog posts I'm planning on doing at some point. I have a little sticky tab to this page so that I can flick there quickly.<br />
After that, I have Contacts which is self explanatory.<br />
I don't have anything behind the last divider.<br />

I won't show you my month or week sections because there's some personal information in there. Sorry! If you want to see what those sections of the DIYFish inserts look like, you can look them up on YouTube because there are lots of videos showing them.</div>

Here's what the Daily pages look like before I do much to them. I'm using the Day on 2 Pages. I usually just add some washi tape to the edges to reinforce the holes, but this time I added some of these page flags as a decoration. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love that these inserts have a light grid to write on because it looks nicer than lines, but makes sure that your writing is straight.</div>

I've had a few questions about what page markers I use in my planner. I buy the Project Life dividers {<i>Spotlight or projectlife.com.au </i>for us Aussies} and cut them shorter so they fit in my planner. :) I have lots of them now, and they have some REALLY cute patterns!</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
Behind all the dividers I have a business card holder with nothing in it yet, and a zip lock envelope with some little stickers and paper clips in it.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
I also have a flyleaf with a pen loop on it, but I can't keep a pen in it because then my Kate Spade won't close. :( Haha.</center>

Now onto my bright pink on-the-go organiser! This is actually a passport case that I bought on eBay for only a few dollars. They are very popular in the Filofax community for putting all your on-the-go planning/decorating essentials in, and they work fantastically.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Inside it has lots of small and large pockets.</center>

On the left side, I have some cute little memo papers, as well as some paper clips/page markers, some hole reinforcement stickers, extra pen, extra pen ink for my Coleto pen, stickers, a few Project Life dividers and some note paper.<br />

<br />
On the right side, I have some mini scissors, some sticky flags, sticky notes, my Masking Sticker sets {<i>they are cute patterned stickers that are pre-cut in strips and circles, and you can write on them with pen!</i>} and my favourite felt tip pens from Stabilo.<br />
