introducing my 2016-17 planner: Le Petit Prince Moleskine

This post was tagged in ,
Last month, I'd noticed that I'd been using my Rifle Paper planner less and less due to it's bulkiness. I knew then that it was time for a change and even though I was on a shopping ban, I need a planner that works for me to function in life so I splurged on this Le Petit Prince Moleskine. And let me just say this: I'm in love.

The cover is clothbound and I love the contrasting pink elastic and yellow page marker. I've purchased a Leuchtturm1917 pen loop to go with it and I chose a turquoise colour (not seen in the photos below). The inside page is illustrated beautifully with a fox (I have a slight fox obsession so this is perfect).


There are yearly and monthly calendars too:


And I opted for a week to view planner. I like the amount of space on offer in each weekly spread and this free space on the right was what I was missing in my Rifle Paper planner.


At the back, there is a pocket for all those loose bits and it is illustrated beautifully with stars and planets.


Overall, I love this planner. I know I ranted about Moleskine paper a few years' ago but it seems they've really improved the quality of their paper without compromising too much on price or weight of their notebooks and planners.

    It is a lovely planner, indeed!
    You allude to the paper quality. Could you tell me if it is fountain-pen (fine nib) or Stabilo friendly? I used Moleskine notebooks many years ago but it was impossible to write with fountain pens then.

      Hello! It is fountain pen friendly (I have been using my Pilot Kakuno with a fine nib, inked with Diamine blue-black in it) - no show through with minimal bleeding virtually invisible to the naked eye. Not quite sure about thicker nibs though :) x

    What a totally gorgeous planner! I never know how to feel about Moleskine and have just started myself in a Filofax but this is making me lust for a book now!

    Is this the pocket size, or the medium size? :)

    Ahhhh it's so cute! I've just started a bullet journal... but if I hadn't I might have had to get my hands on this! Looking forward to seeing more about how you're using it :) x

    I bought this same exact planner, although the inside of mine is not nearly as neat as yours! This type of planner was the first type I loved, and I've come back to it. This size is so nice to carry with me on the go!

    This is adorable! I used a planner for most of the year but then suddenly stopped. Not sure what I should do now, but this almost makes me want to get one!
