Paperchase Haul

Today I have another Paperchase Haul because I recently when to the Paperchase on Tottenham Court Road (the most amazing Paperchase ever because it's three floors of stationery!) and I picked up some bits. I didn't get that much but I still wanted to share what I got with you guys.

Butterfly A5 Deboss Organiser- Obviously I got a new planner but I really like this planner and all the planners I have, have pink somewhere on there and even though pink is my favourite colour, sometimes I don't want to have so much pink on my desk so it's nice to have another choice in my fastly growing planner collection.  

This was £11 down from £22

Postcards- I love using postcards in my planner to write little lists on and they're also cute in journaling so while I was there I picked up some more because I can never find any anywhere and at the moment I do have quite a few but it's nice to have a choice for whatever colour scheme I'm going for.

These were both 70p

Pilot Frixion Pen- Black- When I was in year 4/5 I used to love these pens but I stopped getting them because they are so expensive but when I was in Paperchase I picked one up because I thought it would be handy to have a rub out pen so I can erase things out that didn't happen.

This was £3.50

American Crafts Bowtie Paperclips- These paperclips are always on sale and I really like them so I always pick up a pack. I like using these paperclips in my planner because they're really pretty and a lot more exciting than simple, basic paperclips.

These were £2 down from £3

Paperchase Pony Club Stickers- Paperchase is my favourite place to buy stickers from because they have so many designs and they all look so good in my planner, which is what I get them from. Usually I get small ones likes these pony ones because they look so much nicer and are more practical in my planner.

These were £1 

That was everything that I got in Paperchase and I'm really happy with what I got. I want to start asking you guys questions again so today's question is what is your favourite drink? Mine is diet coke/pepsi max but there's so many other drinks that I really like.

Paperchase Haul

Recently when I was in London I went to the Paperchase on Tottenham Court Road because I knew they had a good sale section and last time I went I couldn't find it but this time I did and I bought a lot (including a planner). Everything in this haul is actually from the sale section so you'll probably won't be able to get these things anymore sadly.

Neon Pink A5 Organiser- So I had seen this planner on YouTube and loved it but I knew I wouldn't be able to get it because it's a design from earlier this year so when I saw it I had to have it. It did have very dirty packaging but that came off and there's only one mark on the planner. It also didn't come with any of the pages but that didn't bother me.

This was £6.50 from Paperchase (originally £22 but on the ticket it says £11 but it was £6.50- bargain)

Butterfly Stamps Medium Box- I actually already have one of these boxes but I love it and love the pattern (as you can tell) so I got another box. I don't have a use for this just yet but I use my other one for nail polishes. 

This was £1.75 from Paperchase (was £3.50)

Butterfly Stamps Small Gift Bag- I wouldn't spend £3 on a gift bag but as they're on sale I picked up 2 and I'm actually not going to be using these for presents, I'm actually keeping small things on my desk in this small bag like postcards and pens.

This was £1.10 from Paperchase (was £2.20)

Butterfly Stamps Large Gift Bag- As I said I'm not using this for gifts but I will be using it for stuff by my desk so inside I have magazines, my school planner and any other random tall things I might have.

This was £1.85 from Paperchase (was £3.75)

Paperchase Stickers- Vision- I love the Paperchase stickers so I always pick up a pack and in the sale section they didn't have many that I like but I found these layered pack which I like as you get 3 sheets and you get a range of different stickers.

This was £2 from Paperchase (was £3)

American Crafts Bow Tie Paperclips- I had seen these but couldn't get them because you can only get them in flagship Paperchases and when I was looking round the shop I saw them and luckily they were half price so I had to pick up a pack.

These were £1.50 from Paperchase (was £3)

Postcards- The sale section didn't have much of a good choice for postcards but these were the only two I liked. I love the Tray Chic one because I love my food and I think it's funny and the other one I just think looks really pretty.

These were 15p each from Paperchase (was 70p each)

Patisserie Washi Tape- Like with the postcards there wasn't many washi tape that I liked but I found this patisserie pattern one and I don't have many dark washi tapes so this is good for a change.

This was 75p from Paperchase (was £3)

So that's everything I bought in the Paperchase on Tottenham Court Road and I love that Paperchase because it's so big and you can find things that you can't in other stores like there's more cards and postcards.

Collective Haul | H&M, Lush, Paperchase + MORE!

This is becoming quite common now... Today I have ANOTHER Collective Haul and I think the reason why I'm doing more than ever is that I'm making my Collective Hauls shorter after that really long one ages ago. Let me know what you prefer- shorter or longer?

Postcards- I mentioned in a recent blog post that I really like the Paperchase postcards so when I was there last I picked up a couple of new designs and my favourite out of the 3 has to be the Sushi rolling one.

These were 70p each from Paperchase

Makeup Stickers- When I'm in Paperchase I usually check out the stickers and this time these makeup stickers caught my eye. When I got home I wanted to use them straight away so that's why there's not a full pack.

These were £1.50 from Paperchase

Pink Fresh & Clean Body Lotion- While Pink had buy 1 get 1 free on all of their body care I decided to take advantage and buy another body lotion as full price it is £15 and I do think it's a ridiculous price so I'll only buy them when they're on offer. 

This was £15 from Victoria's Secret Pink (buy 1 get 1 free)

Pink Fresh & Clean 2 in 1 Wash & Scrub- Like I said I only buy the Pink body care when it's on offer and that's why I bought the wash and scrub as I always buy cheap shower gels so this was very expensive for me but it is really nice.

This was £15 from Victoria's Secret Pink (buy 1 get 1 free)

Victoria's Secret Love Spell Fragrance Mist- I already had a mini of this and I really loved the smell so I thought why not get the large one because the smell is really nice and it's the mini that I have that I use the most.

This was £14 from Victoria's Secret (2 for £18)

Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace Fragrance Mist- I don't think I had actually smelt this scent before but it's really nice and I didn't know I would love the scent of vanilla so much. I think I now have most of the Victoria's Secret body mists scent that I love.

This was £14 from Victoria's Secret (2 for £18)

Jumper- I know I said this before about how much love the H&M jumpers and I got another one. IISuperwomanII (Lilly Singh) wore this in a video a couple of days after I bought it and I was like yassss!

This was £5.99 from H&M

Bath Bombs- I haven't had a Lush bath bomb in forever so I bought my two favourites which are Intergalactic and The Experimenter but I do think they're too expensive now- Lush really needs to stop upping their prices.

These were £4.25 each from Lush

That's my Collective Haul for today. Expect another one soon unless I decide to make them longer but at the moment I'm not too sure what I'm doing so any feedback would be appreciated. 

Paperchase Wild Blossom Floral A5 Organiser

Today I'm going to be sharing with you my new planner from Paperchase. These are the original inserts it came with and not the ones I will be using as I will be still using my old A5 set-up from my last A5 which I did a blog post on not too long ago.

This the planner and I love the print so much and because I love the print so much I even bought the backpack with the matching print for my school bag. When I bought this planner it did have 30% off so it was originally £22 but I got it for £15.25. This planner includes an undated diary, meal planner, shopping lists, budget planners, notes and an to-do list pad.

This is what you see when you open the planner. There's no dashboard but I already have one so it doesn't matter. On the left you get 4 card slots which I fit in stickers and it comes with a today to-do list pad and I have a lot of these now but I don't actually use these. On the right is the first divider which is the diary divider.

These are the un-dated diary pages. I'm personally not a fan of undated diaries from Paperchase because they have super small boxes (and I have big handwriting so I can't write much in the box) and they're week on 1 page and I prefer week on 2 pages. 

The next divider is meal planner and this is probably the one that I would use because I need to start tracking my meals again.

These are the meal planner pages. On the side you get every day of the week and at the top there's 4 columns- breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. The boxes are quite small so it's not good if you have big handwriting. I'll probably keep these pages in the planner as I do want to track what I eat but I'll fill them out after I've ate.

Next up is the shopping list divider which I probably won't use as I don't really write shopping lists or take my planner out so there's no point writing them down.

These are the shopping lists and I'll probably end up using these as to-do list pages and at the top I'm going to put some washi tape and write to-do over. These are good for to-do's as they have tick boxes and lines (wow Louise!)

Then we come to the Budget Planner divider which I won't be using as I'm not an adult and luckily I don't have to worry about money yet.

These are the budget planner pages and down the side you have 5 sections- Balance, Outlay, Income, Comments and Date and in the middle there's a line separating the sections so you get 2 boxes for each section.

The last section is notes and the section which every planner needs.

I was happy when I saw there was a notes section but was saddened by the notes pages as the pages are squared not lined. I'll probably will end up using these as I don't want to waste paper but squared paper reminds me of school and I don't want to be reminded of school when I'm not there.

That's my new planner. I've already moved into it and I love it. The only problem is the popper is a bit tight and seems like it might come off so I go really gentle because I don't want to break it.

Paperchase Haul

Recently I went to the Paperchase Tottenham Court Road store, which is actually the flagship store, and as I made a special trip to go there obviously I had to pick up a couple of things. I didn't get that much but I got enough stuff to do a haul and I'm very happy with what I got. 

Firstly I got the Paperchase Kraft Multi Coloured Sticky Notes Tabs- 600 Pack and I'm going to be using these in my planner to mark off  dates and dates when blog posts go live and I've seen a lot of people talking about these so I had to pick them up. I also got Sharpies Ultra Fine Markers- 12 Pack because as you know I love Sharpies but I only had a couple of the ultra fine ones and I couldn't find them anywhere so when I saw them I had to get them.

For my planner I got a Filofax A5 Zip Lock Envelope to keep extra stickers in and any extra things and I wanted one for a while but none other Paperchases had these so I got one there. Also from Filofax I got the Filofax Organiser Stickers and I wanted these for a while to mark off dates because I like how these have symbols (like for shopping there's a shopping bag) and if I have these I won't need to write anything down as these will remind me.

Lastly I got a bunch of postcards because I use these in my planner as to-do lists for the week and I write on the back. I like joking ones instead off inspirational quotes so I got 4 fun postcards including 'Bugger I Forgot To Instagram That Shit' by Jolly Awesome, 'Penguin Swag' by Jolly Awesome, 'We Donut Give A Damn' by Jolly Awesome and 'Party Bear' by Whale & Bird.

Prices-

Sticky Notes Tabs- £3

Sharpies- £13.75

Envelope- £4

Stickers- £2.50

Postcards- 70p each

I didn't get that much because there wasn't a lot that I liked and I found it a bit overwhelming because there was 3 floors and it was massive but I would go back and maybe this time have a plan of what I want to get.

My A5 Planner Set Up

Finally I'm going to be sharing with you whats inside my A5 planner as I mention it a lot but I don't ever really share what's inside so I thought I would should you how I plan and how organise and set up my planner as I'm really happy with it at the moment. Just a warning this is a photo heavy post but I'll try to keep words down to a minimum but I will tell you where things are from; this A5 planner is from Paperchase.  

This is what you see when you first open the planner and in the front pockets I have these Wilko coloured dots stickers, which each colour means a different things like red is important dates. Then I have behind that which you can't see and they're colourful foil stars and in another front pocket I have the Today to-do list pad which comes with the planner but I haven't used it yet but I've kept it in there in case I want to use.

I also have my dashboard thing I made and I stuck some paper on the first card page it comes with then I stuck washi tape round the edge and stuck a neon star in the middle and with alphabet stickers I spelt out my name and I also used some stickers just for extra decoration. 

Paper- Homesense

Washi Tape & Stickers- Paperchase

Neon Star & Alphabet Stickers- Wilko

This planner came with some stickers and I just keep them here in case I want to use them. 

 

My first section is diary and this is the section that I come to the most. I made this divider the same as the first one and the same as all the other ones in this section.

You then get a yearly overview for 2016 and 2017 and at the top of the page I just used some washi tape from Paperchase.

Then you have an important dates section and it goes from July 2016- June 2017 and again I used some tape and this glitter tape is from Wilko.

You then get a year planner and you get a little section to write an important date on each day. I have so far just put stuff like birthdays and Halloween and dates like that.  

I first have some Paperchase inserts which the planner came with but at first I didn't like them so I bought Filofax ones (below) but after using them for like 2 weeks I did like them but I chucked the others away- woops.

These are the Filofax inserts and I got these as they had a notes section which the Paperchase ones didn't have and the spaces for each day is equal as on the Paperchase ones didn't have much room on Saturday and Sunday.

My next section is To-Do and I have my blog to-do list 

On the back of the divider I have a post-it with blog posts I want to do and then on the to-do list I have the order of blog posts and what ones I need to write. 

Next up is school and this was originally meetings but I don't go to meetings so I changed it to what would suit me better.

This originally was meeting notes pages but I stuck some washi tape over the top and just pretend it's notes paper as why would I want to waste paper. 

Next up I have my blog section and even though it says work I don't have a job as I'm in education but I put that because the divider tabs says work so I just put it so it was consistent. 

Inside I just have blog notes and I do decorate these pages because I like having everything in my planner decorated. 

Next we have a notes section.

I did cover up the post-it on the side so you can't read some blog post plans but I have random notes like a list of fun national days (even though I think they're American)

Next up is the buy section

This is just the section where I have shopping lists and I don't take this planner out but if I write it down I'm more likely to remember and then when I come home I see what I bought and tick it off. 

The last section is favourites and this is the divider I don't like as much because I had to use a big neon star as it was the only one left and I think the washi tape is too big but it's fine and I don't see it much. 

In this sections I just have favourites and this is where I plan my monthly favourites or anything favourites related like this notes is my favourites blog posts.

There is a large back pocket but I don't have anything in it but if I do use it I'll use it for loose papers.

This is the back of the planners and there is some marks but they're not that noticeable and I never turn over my planner just to see the planner so it's fine.

That's how I set up my planner and after taking all the pictures for this post I have kinda changed the set up a bit but only by adding in a sticky flag book in the front pocket and having a zip pocket at the back with stickers in.
