1. Kate Spade

The large 17-month planners by Kate Spade are certainly budget-friendly ringing up to a cheery price of only $36!!! While I don’t typically go for spiral designs, Kate has strategically hidden the spiral used to contain her planners inside the cover itself so as to keep the simple, classic outward design.  Here are some to the specs that helped this hardcover agenda with elastic closure make the cut as one of the three planner brands I personally recommend:

• Size: 9″h x 7″w
• Laminated tabs
• Gold Foil Accents
• Concealed Spiral
• Lay Flat Design
• Interior Pocket
• Check out these chic stationary & planners: Kate Spade

If you love Kate Spade shoes, handbags, & jewelry, then you are certain to fall in love with her planners!  Check them out!

2. Gigi New York

I personally have a MAJOR girl crush on all things Gigi…  Planners, clutches, and passport holders by this company are simply beautiful!  Her embossed python and French goatskin leather desk diaries are absolutely stunning…  I couldn’t wait for 2015 to begin so I could get her 2015 Desk Diary in White Embossed Python Leather (pictured above) myself to start the new year in style!  The vertical format design offers more writing space than most larger, more cumbersome diaries.  These planners come in several shapes and sizes to fit your needs, but my Desk Diary is largely the most popular with the following specs:

• 7″ x 9.25″ – 240 pages
• Month & week-at-a-view pages
• Smyth sewn for strength and longevity
• Cream-white, acid-free paper with gilt edges
• Personalization is available (HIGHLY recommend – $15 additional fee)
• Price varies by design and size: $38-110
• Check out the entire collection of datebooks: Gigi New York

If I continue to like my planner as much as I anticipate, then I will quite possibly begin my own private collection instead of tossing my planner at the end of the year per usual.  These planners are just too beautiful not to keep on your bookcase or coffee table…

3. Erin Condren

If you are a busy soccer mom or just always-on-the-go, then Erin Condren is certainly the brand for you!  Personalization is on overload with these planners…  Her datebooks come with cover personalization, stickers, laminated tabs & cover, and adorable designs.  Each day is split into “morning, afternoon, and night” so you can have a grasp of your entire day at a glance.  These planners also come with a goal section to keep you accountable for those resolutions!  There is also a built-in bag to help you keep all of your important notes and business cards in a safe place.  Erin Condren planner covers can portray anything from the classic options, beautiful foil, inspirational quotes, or even your college sorority letters!  Here are the specs for these adorable planners:

• 7.25″ x 9.25″
