Filofax Sale (CLOSED)

WARNING: PHOTO HEAVY POST!

Hello, hello, hello... I know, I know, I know... It's been too long since I wrote a blog post but I have been pre-occupated with life itself so... I'm sorry...

Now going to the topic of this blog post... YES... I am selling 2 (two) of my beloved Filofax's...
WHY? You will probably be asking yourself... Since it's been so hard to get my babies... Well... The answer it's not going to be something out of this world: I need the money... There... I've said it... Happy now?

Just so you know, this 2 babies will be going in different ways... What does that mean? One will go with a Filofax box and the other not, simple, right? LOL

I made a very good research about the prices of this Filofax's in the NEW situation... Of course this are not exactly brand new organizers so I can't charge the price that a new one is... So... This is how it's going to go... You pic one of the binders and it will come with a set of tab dividers just like any other Filofax, a fly leaf and a refill dating September to December 2013 that you will pic from the ones that I post here...

NOTE: Shipping it $16 to the US and $22 to UK... Not included in the Price!

Planners / Binders

Well... today I wanted to talk about binders... *sigh* Yes, I know we are all in love with planner binders and that's the reason behind this blog post...

I have to say I have only 4 kind of binders in my lifetime, if you take the normal ones that you use for school and stuff... Most of them you have seen here except for two: my zip binder (the only one that I have in that way) and my spare binder for my planner.

Most of you know this little guy. My first planner/binder... I found this at my aunt's apartment when she past away over a year ago and madly felt inlove with it because it was like a Filofax... and yes, by that time I was already looking at planner binders but discovert Filofax only a few months before this finding.

As you can see it's black and brown, wich I love and it shut's with a strap so it's ok and very secure, not with a clasp but I love the binder none the less. The rings are a little smaller for me but I guess that if I use it for work may be really enough to take notes and keep a calendar in there.

What I like about this binder? It's very soft to the touch and for what I have research it's leather so when you touch it it's smooth and fresh. It's padded so it's really nice to the touch. The pockets on the back are great for a wallet or something more. The strap that hold's it closed it's really nice and it won't slide out just because...

What I don't like about this binder? It has the zip pocket outside on the back of the planner and make's it more fat. The pattern on the front cover it's not my liking because of the mix of color.

This next binder does have a clasp and it's a nylon binder, the rings are almost like the Sketch from Filofax and as you can see, the model it's too. So... I found this in November, it has inside 12 credit card holders and A-Z address and phone tabs. I't was like 10$ so I got it and I use it to save my spare paper.

What I like about this binder? The ring size maybe for work. It's more slim than the other one. It has a clasp closure. The fabric it's not bad at all to be honest. The vinyl grey part it's soft and nice to the touch. I won't feel guilty if it's get stained or something.

What I don't like about this binder? That orange stripe along the cover, it's so out of place. Not so great pockets inside. The color of the fabric it's not my liking.

This two you all know *smiles* My two UltraViolet Domino's in personal and A5 that my lovely Jayne send to me in October/November of 2012.

What I like about this binder? They have an slastic band across so you can keep your planner closed. It's very soft and nice looking. The color it's gorgeous for me (If they made an Ultra Violet Metropol I will get it). The pockets are really usefull.

What I don't like about this binder? The tabs bend when you put a pen in the pen lop. I'm worry about the elastic getting to worn. It has bubbles on the back of the binder.

And last but not least my zip binder *smile* yes, it's a strawberry binder and yes it's not a planner, it's an A4 binder system with three rings and it's cute and brand new because since I got it a few years ago I haven't use it much.

What I like about this binder? The zip protects the pages of the binder. It lays flat. Really nice pockets inside. I think it's more usefull that it's fabric and not leather.

What I don't like about this binder? I don't be carefull it will fold some corner of the paper. The idea of zipped and unzipped the binder everytime I want to use it because I don't leave it unzipped. I don't like the color anymore.

So this is my post about my different kind of binders... *thinks* I should do this with my purses too... *denied with the head* Never mind... Tell me what you think about this? Do you have a favorite tipe of binder? How is it?

Personal Domino - Update

A little update off what I'm doing with my Filofax

I hope you enjoy (n.n)

Frustrated

This post is a way to get out my frustration because of the current price of the Aston at the Filofax USA website.

Most of you readers out there know that I'm saving for that planner from the hand of Linda, she will sell me her Chocolate Aston in Personal Size for that same price... 50 US Dollars... And now the Filofax USA have a HUGE 60% sale on the items that were on sale for the past weeks and one of those is the Aston in personal size.

Why am I so frustrated and upset? Because I have the dam money but I can't buy it because it will mean that I'm touching my life/inheritated money from my aunt, that I promised I wouldn't touch for this particular purchase. If I didn't said that I will save that money for emergencies, I already buy and ship the Aston from Linda with no problema what so ever... But I can't...

There is always the alternative... to use it and then save to replace it but... my head it's split and will make me mad before I reach any choise. Since this is a post to rant about it I will be explaining a little bit more about this situation for those of you that want to read it.

With the shipping and stuff the Aston will be 80 US Dollars easily, buy it from Linda of Filofax in this particular moment it's the same money or a few bucks less because of the shipping weight but that money... I never in my right mind would have expend that kind of money on a binder or planner in my life...

This will be like a BIG, HUGE, spoiled, childlish craving for a planner and I already have my Violet Domino's and my Malden... and the brown one that I found at my aunt's department... So why on earth do I want another organizer? And to be honest I'm not a big planner person... to be more honest, my life looks like a tornado have gone thru and everything it's always upside down... so why?? Bite me! I don't know!

Money it's really tight at home right now. The account of my parents it's in red and they had to make a loan to cover that deficit. Honestly making a purchase like this, at this particular time it's from a crazy person... or in any time with me not working, my parents with this problems and still trying to make us have a nice vacations in a week because they know that once I start working again I won't be able to travel with them anymore.

I want it... For my life that I want it... But I can't have it... It's worst than the time that I posted my video about the Ultra Violet Domino that Jayne so kindly send it to me and that I love with all my heart. Because this time around I did find a way to buy online, but the amount of money... *sigh* If I ever decide to buy it with this sale... I don't know what would be happening... but sure as anything that my brother and parents will be screaming at me for being so thoughtless and irresponsible with my money...

This is enough I guess... My idea was to let everything out and I did, not all of it because there are some stuff that I can't share for personal reasons that involve my parents... I know this won't stop me from going every day to the website and look, sigh and stroke the screen... but it will help to know why I have to restraint myself...

And if this don't cut it... I didn't buy the Day Timer organizer for 12,99 US Dollars, washi tape or other stuff because I still have to use my money for some post office trips that I have been waiting to do so... For a good reason I'm not buying my Aston... or any other binder... right?

Stalker Mode 02

Hello again gorgeous people out there on the other side of the computer (n.n)

Ok, this is anothe one of my post of stalking on Ebay and adding Amazon to the list LOL

Starting with Ebay and this baby in personal size = the Filofax Tropic

The next in the list it's one that I would love to have and I would use my money if I didn't want the Aston more = the Filofax Finchley in black and Filofax Finchley in purple [tendency for the purple on this binder]

This beauties from the Filofax Website on Sale = the Filofax Dakota, Filofax Chameleon, Filofax Metropol in Orange

All of those in personal size, now the A5 that I was looking at for being the cheapest next to the Sketch that I don't want is... = the Filofax Apex and some may ask, why? Because I need something big that I don't be so worry about scratching and my Domino can get some scratch. I would go for the Apex in personal but I'm looking for something to use at work, A5 looks too big and personal sound perfect right now.

Leaving Filofax on the side and going to my next chance and more affortable for now it's Day Timer Croc in bouth sizes because they are on sale, one on Ebay and the other on Amazon.

And last but not least, the Franklin Covey it's a binder that I'm looking for a few days, not sure about it but it's nice looking, not so cheap but for working in accountancy like I will or in a bank I think it may work = Franklin Covey Compact Croco

This are some refills and stuff that I want and probably won't get also but like to look and just found and think are great price for this kind of things = Flavia Day Runner 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, Dodo Pad A5, Martha Stewart Craft Tape, Le Pen Set, Mt Slim Twist Cord Washi, Japanese Washi Tape Bundles, K&Company Washi Tape Like This, K&Company Washi Tape Calendar, Day Runner Zip Pouch, Papermate Inkjoy 8 Pack, 3 Fixion Pen, 8 Colour Uni-Ball Signo.

I can keep going all night long finding more stuff but this are the most interesting for me right now at this moment in time. Some of this I don't nee (most of it) but I like it and If I could I would get it LOL

Saving for a Filofax!!

Hello again to all of you around the world.

This post is to talk about a Filofax fixation that I have on one Filofax in particular... I almost made two posts like this but I decided that I love this one the most (for now)

The Aston

Since the day I saw this model on a video in the Orchid color I was in love. Love at first site!
I want it so badly but I'm also a person that takes care of her money because I don't work and even when I know I can get the money from my savings I don't want to touch it... *scratch herself not to* Because I know I would need that money for other things and it's the money that my aunt left me when she died last year, and I promise myself and her that I would be wise in the use of it... *snif snif*

Don't get me wrong, please. I love my Domino's and my Mini Malden but this is my ultimate goal Filofax (for now). I was going after the Holborn or the Cuban but this... this is like... heaven opens for me when I see it online... And weird as may sound I rather have it in Chocolate Brown or Mushroom color... *sigh*

A Filofriend (Linda) has a Chocolate Brown Aston and I said I want it because I do. She gave me her prize  and for me it's fine, perfect... But I can't touch my savings and with this holiday on top I had to use some of my money to get my mom and dad some presents and I need to save again for it *sigh again*

Things would be so much easier if I just could take the money and use it for something else but I know myself and since I'm not working right now I need to take care of that money more than ever. That's why I always going to be gratefull to Jayne, because she send me my babies and I do have something for her... I'm just waiting for the holidays to go by and I can send it to her without so mucho worried about the mail, because we all know that in this time of the year, it's crazy.

So here I am... One of my yearly goals it's going to be: Saving for the Aston Filofax and not buy anything, if I can get a chance, that is not this binder.

I do want other models, like an orange Graphic or an orange Metropol or a Wine Holborn... but this makes me scratch myself over and over again. The Orchid color it's gorgeous but I have seen so many videos about them that I want to see one or two in a different color and maybe one of those videos would be mine.

The Flickr account of the first picture has more about the Aston but in the black color, wich is really nice color too (n.n)
