If you want the Kate Spade look on a budget, this is the planner for you! It’s a Sugar Paper planner 2016-2017 available at Target, $10.99. I’m a very picky person when it comes to planners & stationery and finding this was a pleasant surprise. (Even though I caved a few days later and ordered a Ban.do agenda for $28, I’ll be doing a review on it later compared to the Lilly Pulitzer one.)

Contents:

• dates to remember 2016-2019
• contacts (7 pages/3.5 sheets)
• July 2016-June 2017 weekly & monthly calendars
• notes in the back (19 pages/9.5 sheets)

Pros:

• the cover is fun to touch/feel, it’s smooth
• the paper is good quality
• weekly layout has no lines, perfect for decorating
• it is pretty thin since it’s a 12 month planner so it fits easily into a bag/backpack

Cons:

• the paper has a slightly funky smell (like dried shrimp) if you sniff it but fades a bit
• doesn’t have a small folder or elastic band to hold it, but that’s just a personal preference for me
