Hello friends, I hope everyone is well! Here's another planner post I wanted to share ~ I've really been contemplating purchasing the Erin Condren Life Planner and giving it a try since watching PLAN WITH ANITA on YouTube and I just love her decorating style but I first came across this planner brand watching AtHomeWithNikki Planner Organization 2015: Planner Supplies! First let me just say and believe me I love my kikki.K Mint personal planner and my handy dandy pre-loved Louis Vuitton PM agenda but I have to admit there was just something about the Erin Condren planner that got me wanting to buy one. So I was happy to discover that Erin Condren is sold here in the Bay Area at the Staples in Pleasant Hill. And I am assuming that these are their "Ready to Ship" planners featured on their website because these planners are ready to pick up for purchase. So whatever the cover it comes with, that's what you'll get. Staples does have stock of other EC accessories like other limited covers and planner elastics bands sold separately. Here is a walk-through of the planner I purchased ---
BTW you can purchase ECLP online using:

I bought this planner looking exactly like this, no box or plastic cover
Just right behind the info insert is their signature detachable ruler which is used as a bookmark and the cover is a sturdy laminate that is detachable as well and can be changed with other planner covers of your choice.
Upon opening the cover, the left side is a page where you can put your personal info. The first, second and third pages are colorful greeting pages.
As you turn the first tab it is your 2014-2015 Year at a Glance pages
As you can see all the months are separated with tabs and I love how after each monthly page the weekly pages follow right after. Unlike other planner pages the months and weeks are separated in their own sections.
This is how the monthly page looks like
And this is how a week on 2 pages looks like. Different format to the kikki.K and FiloFax pages.
Towards the end of the planner there are a good amount of pages for notes and decorative pages for doodling, 2 pages of 2016-2017 at a glace, then you get here - preprinted stickers pages for life different activities in RED, PINK, ORANGE, TEAL and GREEN.
These next two pages are blank and are for customizing your own activities.
This insert is so handy and is a folder type pocket both front and back, useful for receipts, stickers, notes...etc.
The last insert is a transparent seal-able pouch for writing supplies, cash or planner accessories.
With purchase this planner comes with 4 different designed gift stickers/labels.
The elastic band I bought separately and comes in a pack of 3 for $6.99
Overall I do love this planner though I will be honest, I wish the monthly and weekly pages weren't as colorful and were either printed in black or charcoal gray to allow customization. Still I feel this is a great planner and super love the weekly pages because it has more space in comparison to the ring bound planners. I highly recommend this planner if you are one who is interested in a variety of planner layouts and would like something different for your needs.
