Prettiest Planners 2016
Raise your hand if one of your favorite parts of a new year is a new planner, organizer or calendar! If you could see me now, I’d be the nerdy kid in the front row of the class with both hands raised! 😉 I have not one, but two planners already chosen for this year and I’m already getting started breaking one in.
As much as I live by the calendar on my iPhone for family, school and kid appointment/reminders , I still like writing in an old fashioned pretty paper planner for organizing blog and other personal stuff. I recently also got carried away with buying stickers for my planners and found the cutest ones on Etsy here, here and here. Are you keeping a physical planner too or have you gone totally digital?
If you’re still the paper planner type, I’ve rounded up the prettiest planners I could find below.

If you “need” some pretty accessories to go with your planner or desk, check out my picks below! So fun!

Meet Megan
Hi! I’m Megan, mom to a thoughtful teenager and spunky young girl. We call Houston home and recently moved into our dream home. I traded my lawyer hat to become a full-time blogger in 2010. I love sharing my passion for affordable fashion, home decor, organization, & fitness to help inspire you to take care of you!
Have you heard about Bullet Journaling? Just read about it this week, ordered my Leuchtturm notebook last night, and am so excited to get started!
Yes, I have heard of that- just pinned something about it too. Let me know how it goes! I thought it might be hard to get used to, but I'm intrigued!
A pretty paper planner and a new pack of colored pens make my heart race! This is my third year with an Erin Condren planner because I love the bright colors, the way weeks and months are organized and that I can personalize the cover. With two little girls, I also use my planner as a mini scrapbook. I love using washi tape and planner stickers to mark special events or milestones. 🙂
I'm curious which two planners you chose?
~Allison
Oh yes, I love washi tape too! I forgot to mention which ones I currently have- the ShePlans (just added a picture to the post) and the Florabunda (but mine is spiral). I also really love the Rifle Paper and Succulents planners.
I have the Florabunda pictured. I loved that the size was purse friendly and that it started with the school year back in September.
I love my Lilly Pulitzer planner!
Erin Condren is the planner I swear by. As I start my student teaching this semester plus balancing a busy life with my husband, I need the structure it provides!

The Southern Stylista
I'm a Filofax girl through and through, one at work and one in my handbag and I can't go anywhere without it. My memory has been shocking the last few years thanks to ME so writing everything in my Filofax is the only way it will ever have a chance at being remembered
Hi Megan…are any of the planners you've listed also work with the Erin Condren planners stickers without cutting/altering?
