Top 7 Stylish Daily Planners for 2013

*** New Post for 2014 Daily Planners!
Keeping a calendar is the most fundamental step to managing your daily activities and is important  to getting the new school year and 2013 off to the right start. By logging appointments, events and assignments in a daily planner, you can reduce stress by knowing that you aren’t forgetting anything. When kept up-to-date, a planner allows you to find needed information quickly, prioritize effectively and schedule appointments immediately.
Even though there are great online calendar options, I still enjoy writing down our household schedule in a  traditional daily planner. With so many stylish designs available, the tough part is selecting one!

 

Here’s my list of favorite planners for 2013:

Chic Stationary by John Robshaw

In this digital age of email, text messages and voice mail, the art of writing a good ol’ fashion letter seems even more special to give and receive. Perhaps too it’s because I’m obsessed with stationary.

John Robshaw typically doesn’t come to mind when thinking of stationary designers, however his line of cards isn’t to be missed. Using the block prints that have made his textiles famous, Robshaw’s cards are individually  hand-made with recycled cotton paper from excess fabric. Even the envelopes are beautifully lined with hand printed prints in coordinating colors.

For summer, John Robshaw release a series of new cards

Color Trend: Pink Ombre

You may be getting tired of the ombre color trend, but I can’t help but love pink ombre. The gradual change in the hue from the palest pink to dark coral is romantic, feminine and perfect for the summer months. Here are some faves I spotted out there in the blogsphere or on Pinterest…
