Kate Spade Planner Review!



Hello everyone!
After what feels like a very long time, I'm back with content to post.

Today I'm going to be talking about my Kate Spade planner!
Kate Spade planners have a reputation for being the cutest and classiest in the game, so I decided to order one of her famous planners and see what all of the hype was about. Here we go!


I ordered the golden polka dotted planner out of the two large planners I found on katespade.com. I chose this planner and not the black and white striped one because I tend to choose striped everything and I decided to change it up. They're both two adorable looks, plus I'm starting to fall in love with this whole "golden polka dot" trend.

I give the presentation of this planner a 10/10, hands down. It's seriously adorable.


When you open the planner, the inside cover has a place where you write your name and phone number (I didn't take a picture of that for obvious reasons), and a pocket to put small pieces of paper in, or whatever your heart desires, that can fit in that small pocket.

Here we have the first page, which is the 2016 and 2017 12 month calendars. This is a 17 month planner, which makes it even better. The last date in the planner to write in is January 1st, 2017. 

Also, peep the spiral. I LOVE that this planner bound like a book and has the spiral inside of it. My last planner wasn't this professional, so I'm pretty stoked about it, as you may notice.


This next page just adds to the cuteness of this planner even more. Two pages are dedicated to the 2016 celebrations you may plan or attend. This is a huge bonus to the classy girl vibe this planner brings, plus it can seriously make a girl want to keep ultra-organized, am I right?

There is another tab beyond the 2016 celebrations tab that is specifically for notes, leaving lots of pages to write anything you may need to keep noted. I have already started writing in my planner so I did not choose to show my note section. I don't think you'd care to see it anyway, it's just my professor's contact info and office hours. :-)


I'm not sure about you, but it blows my mind how we are already in the month of September. Where's the year gone? Anyways, these are the five tabs for the five (minus August, so four) months left in 2015. As you can see, the planner began in August 2015. The black polka dots separating each month tab make the classy organized girl within me smile, I mean, who doesn't adore Kate Spade polka dots everywhere?


Now onto the 2016 portion of the planner, there's all 12 months easily accessible via laminated tabs. In my case, no more having to use a sticky note to keep track of what page I'm on in my planner. Score!


This is how each monthly tab in the planner begins. It has the whole month laid out with plenty of room to write down all of your plans and appointments. Also, peep the cute notes section on the left hand side. That'll come in handy!


Lastly, we have the weekly view of the planner. There are plenty of lines to write, however the spaces to write for Saturday and Sunday are half the size of the weekday spaces. I think I can manage that, although some people may need them to be bigger.

That, my friends, is the 2016 Kate Spade planner. I bought this planner online at katespade.com for $36.00, shipping fees not included. This is the large planner and can be comparable to being an inch or so smaller than a magazine's size. There is also a medium sized planner with the same design and all of the same features inside at the price of $30.00, shipping fees not included. 

With all of this being said, I hope you have an amazing school year, work year, or whatever you may do, and happy planning. :-)
