Plan accordingly....

So for those of you who don't know me. I'm OBSESSED with planners. I just don't know what it is but whenever I see a new/cute planner I just have to have it. I know that everyone having smart phones there's no reason for anyone to have a planner unless they're still living in the stone age or are a teacher or a wedding planner. I think I just love being able to decorate and show my artistic side in a planner. The newest trend that I've gotten on lately is monograming. I just love to have my initials on everything. I blame work for this. But whatever the case maybe, I have been on the search for a new planner and one that I can personalize to my life and monogram my name all over it. Some places I've been looking at monogram planners are www.maydesigns.com and https://www.erincondren.com.

I've previously ordered from may designs for my management team's christmas presents. I got them all monogram notebooks to use at our meetings. Of course, none of them are being used but they all loved that they each had a notebook that reflected their personality and had their initials on them. But all of their planners are 5x8 and are hand sewn together.

With Erin Condren's "Life Planners" what's nice is that you are able to choose how you want it personalized, they photostickers, text stickers, and the planner's size is 7x9 and is spiral bound. Now what it keeping me from ordering the life planner is the price. It starts at $50-75 but it may be the planner that I've been looking for. I used to have a Coach planner that retailed for $198 and all it had was a planner insert and address insert. So when you compare it to that, The life planner looks better and better.

So here in the District. It's a lovely 13 degrees...whomp whomp. I of course stayed indoors and procrastinated on packing for mine and husband's move to our new condo. But of course, cold weather makes me want to shop so I spent hours today staring at Pintrest and shopping online for furniture and getting inspiration on how should I style my life in 2014. Also, I have been struggling a lot in both my professional and personal life. From my health to my job, I've been in a funk these last few months and I thought blogging again (I tried once when I was still in college-didn't go to well) would help me get out of my funk. 

Anyways, since it is award season (my favorite time of year), the Grammys were last Sunday and here are my top 4 for best and worst dressed.

Best Dressed:

Arianna Grande- now, I am kind of getting tired of her always doing this time of silhouette and hairstyle, but she knows what works for her. I guess this is considered her signature style- she just needs to stop treating the red carpet like its her prom

Guilana Rancic- Now I may be a little bias because I just love and admire her so much. But I love this color on her. She always has a way of being sexy and feminine at the same time

Pink- I don't know if Willow has changed her outlook on her personal style, but I just love it when Pink dresses this way. You can still tell she can kick your ass if she wanted to, but she is becoming more girly and I think it suits her

Taylor Swift- well as annoying as she is, she knows what works for her. She's able to rock a sheath dress and she always looks good in metallics.

Worst Dressed:

Cyndi Lauper-ok, I understand that this is her "signature" but I mean come on Cyndi, can't you lose the cape- you're 60 years old already, You still can rock your own style but not over do it. Its not the 80s anymore.

Sara Barielles-Now, I don't HATE this, but this high low hem is too drastic, it either should've been a cocktail dress for a floor length dress. It kind of reminds me of a dress that Ginner Goodwin wore as Snow White in Once Upon A time- also I'll give her credit for wanting to add a pop of color with the all white, but I don't think she should've been too matchy matchy with her clutch and shoes.

Tia Carrere-What is with the jacket!? It just ruins it. I know the Grammys are a little more casual but then she shouldn't have worn the dress.

Zendaya-I know she's what 18? But come on... it's just wrong on so many levels. I just feel like she's trying too hard to break her disney image
