Prettiest Planners for 2016

December 15, 2015

Ever since I was a little girl I've loved planners. I used to use the free ones at school that they'd give at the beginning of the year. I wrote down my homework, tracked my after-school activities, and used it as a daily schedule. As someone who is online all day, every day, it is so nice to get to physically write things down on a piece of paper. There's something really reassuring about having all the day's to-dos written down in a neatly organized list. And nothing feels better than getting to check a to-do box as done. Planners truly help keep me sane. As I've gotten older, my taste in planners has changed, but my love for them has only grown. I thought it would be fun to share my picks for the best planners of 2016! They're pretty and functional, and will help keep you organized in the new year.

Best Planners of 2016

If you're willing to splurge:

Prettiest Planners 2016 Her Heartland Soul

The Day Designer Flagship planner is the Rolls-Royce of planners. I've used one for the last two years and absolutely love it. They sell a cheaper version at Anthropologie that is very similar, just with less thick cardstock and in a slightly smaller shape.

If you're willing to wait:

This Ban.do planner has got to be the hottest planner out there right now. It's colorful, fun, very similar to the Day Designer, and also a heck of a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, it's sold out everywhere. My guess is they'll be restocking after Christmas, so if you're okay getting your planner on or near January 1st, this one looks pretty great.

If you want something cute, (more) affordable, and now:

Kate Spade | Lilly Pulitzer | Sugar Paper | Rifle Paper Co.

I am in love with all of these planners.

In college I used and was obsessed with Lilly Pulitzer planners. They're bright and colorful and kept me organized between classes and parties and fun with friends.
My in-laws just bought me the Kate Spade planner for my birthday so that is now my 2016 planner. I'm really loving it so far.
I just bought the Sugar Paper planner for my blog. It's a light version of a planner that gives a month overview at a time with plenty of space for notes. It's adorable, and at only $7.99 is the perfect planner for keeping track of my blog editorial calendar.
I have not used a Rifle Paper Co. planner before, but I am a huge fan of the company. I have a lot of their to-do lists and a yearly calendar that is a work of art. One year I'll try this planner out. Until then, if you do, make sure to let me know what you think of it!
