Over the years it has been my frivolous goal to collect every type of Louis Vuitton agenda. Yes, I am that materialistic. 

If you've been following me for some time you know how much I love agendas, planners and notebooks. They are some of my favorite items ever and it takes everything in me to not buy a new one everyday. There are just so many beautiful, special notebooks out there and I want them all.

Some of the most beautiful ones are from Louis Vuitton and when I discovered them, I had to have them. I purchased my first one, a Monogram PM Agenda years ago and since then have been trying to find planner peace. Whenever I would see a picture on Instagram or a Youtube video of a collection of LV planners, I would daydream about having them all stacked up next to each other and constantly switching them out.

I have been through so many planners over the last few years. I can't ever seem to find planner peace. I've had Lilly Pulitizer, Day Designers, Erin Condren, digital planners... I've used them all! I've loved most of them too; I always go back to Lilly and Day Designer but nothing ever seems to stick. I just like to change things up too much and I get bored easily! 

Ever since I was a little girl, I always changed my stationery products; I never kept a planner longer for six months and was always switching notebooks and backpacks. I just like options and I guess I never grew out of that habit. 

Last year, I thought I found heaven with The Everygirl x Day Designer collab from Target. It was compact, pretty, and seemed to be just what I needed since I also had a Louis Vuitton MM Agenda that I was using. 

The last few months of 2018 I went on a little bit of a shopping spree. I felt like I was making up for lost time because I am going to try my best to save and not spend this 2019. I made a little mistake and purchased this Kate Spade sweater last week but that was it! I'm going to be good... I have to.

I purchased a lot of things that I had been wanting for a long time, like two Louis Vuitton agendas, a Louis Vuitton shawl, some beauty items, and a few handbags.

After this, I'm going to do my best to lay low and stop shopping. I've seen so many people doing 'No Buy January' and entire 'No Buy Years' so we'll see. I say that a lot but I'm going to try to stick to it in 2019. I even downloaded a Habit Tracker app to keep myself accountable and made a list of all the things I need/want to save money for!

Before we get into that, let's have some fun and talk about what I bought! Tune into the very long, very fun video below!

It's not a secret how much I love planners or how much I love Louis Vuitton. I've talked about my love of both frequently on here, and I even did a post about my Louis Vuitton PM Agenda and how I used it how as a blog planner.

I've since moved on from that and switched up a lot of my planners, and I have a much more cohesive, streamlined planning strategy.

However, in December, I got the urge for a new agenda, specifically the Louis Vuitton MM Agenda. I wanted something bigger, something chic and fancy so I looked all over the Internet for a preloved one in good condition.

The first favorites of the year always seem special to me. I love the clean slate that January brings and I think this January I realized a lot about myself. Whether those changes I realized I needed to make were actually made or not, I think making the steps is important.

One of the best things to happen in January; starting The Beaute Report. I took my Royally Pink newsletter and changed it into a beauty newsletter where I break down the beauty news/gossip of the week along with some new products that I think look particularly interesting.

Now, let's get into some favorites!



1. Louis Vuitton MM Agenda: My preloved Louis Vuitton addiction has reared its ugly head again and it all started with my need for an MM agenda. I purchased this in late December off eBay and I have been obsessed. I will do a full post on this later this month but if you're considering a Louis Vuitton agenda, go with the MM. I have 2 PMs and the MM is so much better.

2. Alex and Ani Rings: I talked your ears off about my love of Alex and Ani but I really need to express my love for their rings. I've worn nothing but the Peace ring and my birthstone ring. As I write this, I'm looking at some other rings. They're so comfortable, gorgeous, and very simple-- all you could want in a piece of jewelry.

3. Laura Geller Color Luster Hi-Def Top Coat Lipgloss: I am NOT a lipgloss lover. I've tried so many different formulas, colors, and brands but nothing ever seems to stick with me. I just can't stand the feeling of sticky lips or when my hair sticks to my lips (even if it's not windy, my hair still ends up with lipgloss on the ends). However, these new lippies were released this month and I've been obsessed. The colors Pink Sapphire & Rose Tourmaline sit at my desk and I apply them all day long. They aren't sticky but stays on all day long, and don't add a lot of color, but more shine & shimmer. They're a metallic gloss but are so wearable. I'm OBSESSED!

4. NetGalley: I talked about Netgalley briefly in my review of 'She Regrets Nothing' but this has definitely been a favorite. I've been using it all month to try and read some new, unreleased books to review for you all! If you're a book lover, reviewer, or a blogger, I highly recommend trying Netgalley out! It's a great resource for those looking to share their recommendations!


What did you love this month?
