Hi Guys! Today I have for you a look at the new planning system I have recently adopted. You probably remember only a few months ago I ordered the new Erin Condern Life Planner in Rose Gold and showed all of it's beauty in this post. Now - I still love this planner and still recommend it and all the other Erin Condren prodcuts highly. This year the company made a few changes to the Life Planner, and one of them being a bigger coil. I didn't think much of this upon ordering, but as I got a few weeks into using the planner, I soon discovered that the coil was just too large. I am one of those people that carries my planner around everywhere and uses it to refer back to many times a day for lists and to-dos. The larger coil just made it too awkward to carry around with me. I started to leave it at home/school and transfer lists to another piece of note paper, but that proved to be counter-productive and just plain annoying! So sadly, I made the choice to repurpose my Life Planner (I will showcase this at some point) and started the search for a new planner.
Recently, I started seeing the Midori (or Fauxdori in most cases) pop up on Instagram and Pinterest. I liked the look of this cute little Japanese invented system of interchangeable notebooks, so I started researching. I stumbled across this Video by Youtuber Brittany at VasseurBeauty and she pretty much sold me. So over to Etsy I went and found the gorgeous array of designs by Pelle Studio. After many agonising days of trying to decide what colour Pelledori to purchase (you can't go wrong, and that makes it even harder to choose! hashtag libraproblems) I decided on the Mint and Lush Grey (I also purchased one for my sister's birthday gift).
The turn around was quite fast, and I received my planner from Hong Kong in under two weeks. The lovely Cindy is always there ready to help and answer your questions (I had a change of heart after placing the order and wanted to change a colour I'd chosen. Cindy happily did this for me with a small fee and responded very quickly!). I would definitely re-order from this store and recommend it to all.
Now for a look at the gorgeous products! (and as usual - Photos are sub-par due to my lighting issues. I know I sound like a broken record! But just need to say it...not even photoshop can help these babies. Hopefully this will be one of the last averagely-lit posts as our house is SO close to being finished!!)

The little charms - so precious!
The put-together planner!
A Pelledori Traveler's Notebook comes in a variety of sizes, the one I chose was Regular, Extra Wide. I decided on this size rather than just the Regular so I had the option of adding more notebooks should I need them without the cover becoming too small and creating 'insert overhang'. It has 4 elastics (which you can insert one notebook into - pictured below - or two, which gives you a grand total of 8 notebooks if desired!)
To insert the notebooks, you simply slip it through the elastic!
I have been using my Pelledori for a a few weeks now, and as they say in the online planner community, I think I have found my 'Planner Peace'. This just seems to work for me and I love having planner and notebooks combined in one easy to access system.
I plan to use the inserts I have until the end of this year, and purchase some new ones for next year. I will pop back with another Pelledori Post in a few weeks to run through some customisable options and also store recommendations on where to purchase inserts.
For those of you that are interested in purchasing your own Traveler's Notebook, Pelle Studio are currently running a promotion! If you spend over US$26, you are eligible for a 10% discount, using the promo code 1YRAN10OFF. Be quick as it is only for this month!
