365 Days of Clutter

Moleskine 12 Months Daily Planner

Technology: our friend and our foe. As much as I love the fact that I am able to compact the details of my day-to-day life into my Blackberry, it's completely void of the tactility you experience when putting pen to paper. 

My journal and diary planner have become as much of a staple necessity inside my handbag as my purse, Blackberry, keys and red lipstick. I'm an incredibly disorganised girl by nature, and having a diary planner creates an element of structure to my life whilst still remaining personal. Choosing a diary to accompany me to Uni, work and coffee dates this year saw me agonising over a variety of styles and brands - who knew diaries could be the cause of personal anguish? 

Classic, compact and chic, Moleskine always provide for the simple and androgynous. This is the diary I have opted for to serve me throughout survival during my first year of Uni. I have a creative mind and so when it comes to finding an outlet for organising my chaotic thoughts and so on, I relish simplicity - and that is everything this diary encompasses. $32.95


Swedish stationary company kikki.K always know how to make me yearn after their cutesy designs and delicate materials. This TWOTHOUSANDANDELEVEN paperback diary  is perfect for those who are positively useless at remembering the important stuff. Though you may feel silly pasting in your next dentist appointment with the sheet of stickers provided at the back of the diary, there's a childlike element of creative freedom to this diary, something that makes jotting down points of significance less tedious for those expressional characters out there. $29.95



Ah, Frankie: you truly are a God amongst magazines. Though I haven't actually got my paws onto an actual copy of this beautifully crafted creation, Frankie's Daily Journal 2011 appears both feminine and a little bit eccentric, in true legacy of its sponsor. Frankie is a magazine that makes itself personable to women of all ages, interests and occupations, a quality that can be translated into this nifty daily journal. $24.95

Remember, a diary is something personal, so when you're selecting one to spend every day with you in your handbag or under your pillow for the rest of this year, choose the style that seems most personable.
