I always have been, and probably always will be, an organisation freak. I like lists, lots of lists, plans and a detailed agenda - a diary is of utmost importance in my Mulberry. iPhone calendars, reminders, to do lists, voice notes and schedulers come and go, but when a new year rolls around nothing sates my organisation appetite like a fancy, preferably snakeskin, organiser. So by the fourth of January and I still don't have one, I start to panic.
t h i s y e a r s s h o r t l i s t . . .
Smythson has been the place to go when it comes to stationery for the last 125 years, apparently. Missing 100 of those years due to not yet being born yet, I wouldn't know but presume the statement is true - seeing as three of four in this selection (1,2 & 4) are made by Smythson. Far left is the perfect desk diary, the 2013 Fashion Diary. Printed calf leather, featherlight pale blue pages with gold embossing day-to-page, an address book and more note space than even I could fill - this doesn't come cheap at £200 and wouldn't squeeze in my bag.. but it would look perfect on my desk.
Sometimes a notebook can be even more useful than a fixed diary, another Smythson number - the Runway Textured Notebook allows for versatile plan making, listing and whatever the hell you like-ing, plus a section dedicated to fill in your thoughts on the seasons shows. Perfect for die-hard fashion girls.
Some ladies swear by their Filofaxes, I'm yet to try one, but if the entire-life-organiser wins this year, the Affair Filofax by Temperley London would definitely be the winner. This is too big to cart around in my little Taylor satchel, but another perfect desk diary.
The Smythson Panama diary really is the perfect handbag diary, it features the same beautiful detailing as the large aforementioned Fashion diary, but sleek and lightweight in a week-to-view format.
Do you have this years organiser yet? Any (cheaper) suggestions would be greatly appreciated by my bank balance.. rachelle xo
