MY NEW AGENDA

Hey guys, is it just me or do you also get really excited when you hold a blank agenda in your hands? Immaculate white pages for you to fill in with meaningful meetings you are going to have and important dates you cannot forget about. My heart skipped a beat when I laid eyes on this gorgeous companion for 2014. It has a beautiful black, white and gold theme. The cover itself has a very inspirational design that's perfect for college girls like myself: Make It Happen!

I bought the Make It Happen agenda at Oonk, the Primera bookstore in my town. It's designed by the brand CANDY 100% Sugar of which I'd personally never heard before. I couldn't find any information about the brand by directly typing the name in Google's searchbox. However I did find the name of a website in tiny miny letters on the second page: stationeryteam.com

For the last three weeks I had been on the lookout for a chic looking agenda. It became really annoying having to write down appointments on post-it notes simply because my current agenda stops halfway January. There are a few things that I need in an agenda: First, the weight. The agenda needs to be lightweight because I'm going to take it with my everywhere I go, for the entire year and it shouldn't be a burden. Second, the size of the pages. This is so important. I have a small handwriting but I'm a woman of many words. I also like to add fun captions, quotes, jokes and even stickers. So I kinda demand a lot of space for every day. Third, the shape. I don't like agenda's that are very narrow because I find them too stiff and they tend to close as soon as you remove your hand. Lastly, the design. Hey, I just like to look at pretty things! What did you expect? ;-) I paid €16,95 for this agenda. I realize that's not a very cheap option. There are more affordable ones for sale that are just as cute but I know I'm gonna love this one through the entire year and won't get sick of the appearance.
Some photo's to give you an impression:

I'm really fond of stars. It symbolizes my ability to shine when I'm doing what I love.
“You might laugh because every time I sign my name I put a gold star after it, but it’s a metaphor, and metaphors are important. My gold stars a metaphor for me being a star."
- Rachel Berry

I already started using this agenda and I am so happy with my choice because it answers all my needs and it's just so precious to me. Tell me what you think of my agenda and show me which one you bought for the new year!
