Erin Condren’s Life Planner $55
One of our favorite things about this planner is its completely customizable. Choose your preferred cover, layout, color themes and calendar options depending on your organizational needs.

Kate Spade Agenda $40
Bright color and the usual Kate Spade sassy sophistication make this fuschia pink cloth-bound agenda a chic option for the style-conscious scheduler. It contains both monthly and weekly spreads along with laminated tabs. But at only 90 pages and 8 ½” x 4 ¾, it slides easily into a handbag or tote for the busy entrepreneur and girl on the go.
Hey do any of these planners have thick paper to stop markers from bleeding through?
