Filofax Kendal

I have now got my Filofax Kendal, there are quite a few posts coming over the next few hours regarding Filofaxes just to warn you! I know I could schedule them, but I get excited and post all at once!

Here is a general look about my Kendal then I will explain something to you...

It has TWO Elasticated pen loops, how exciting is that! And a pocket behind the popper, now that excites me too, I love the brown but on overview it is too plain for me and just too simple, I love how it looks the colour is beautiful and i love the pen loops and the pockets, but it got me wondering what other Filofaxes were like this.. but with a bit more badazzle

Well I have been thinking about the Regency since Filofax offered to send me a Filofax of my choice for reviewing when we did the last competition with them, I chose a Cuban Zip, I knew all along I should of chosen the Regency but I felt a bit cheeky asking for it!

But I have now decided I need one!

I feel I will NEVER show the Kendal enough love, so I am selling it as funding towards my new upgrade (it changes like the wind I know)

If you are interested PM me Filofaximy@live.com

Lomography LC-A + Second Roll of Photos The Beach

I took my beautiful Lomo LC-A + to the beach! I used Fujicolor 100 ISO to take these photos.

These are the best out of the roll, they were all a lot better than my last attempt but these were so beautiful I love how stormy they look!

Filofax Kendal Filofax Kendal Filofax Kendal

I just ordered a new Personal Filofax off eBay, I got it at a bargain price!

I am ever so excited, I ordered the Kendal after seeing some beautiful pictures of it on Flickr it pushed me in to temptation...

Joshua shows the AMAZING pocket in the back, this got me very excited!!!

I also noticed it has elasticated leather pen loops, and two of them!!! GENIUS!!! Exactly what I love in a Filofax!!! Now I can carry a Pink and Blue Frixion ALWAYS!

After ordering, I have recently fallen in love with Paperchase own brand Filofax paper, and it is AMAZING, they did not have the kraft paper which is brown and thicker, but I will buy some when I go to Plymouth next, I also ordered 4 washi tapes from them!!!

That should be here tomorrow, no idea as to when the Kendal will get here, but I am so excited!!! Monday or Tuesday ?I bet! But still ever so excited, will start on my move this weekend, have it all organised then I can move in and stuff it like a Filofax should be stuffed, I love the tiny rings in my Pocket Malden but I miss the larger size, I don't know why!!!

YAY!!!!!!!

Holiday Essentials Blogger Challenge

A few weeks before I went to America I was invited to take part in the Holiday Essentials Blogger Challenge, and I lept at the chance, but I didn't realise the date to get the pictures in by was when I was away, luckily they let me send them in later! As I was away and I have been busy I never did an announcement post or anything for that matter! But Now I am starting to catch up with all....

The challenge was to do a mood board for 3 different Filofaxes (which you will see below) one in the City, one at the beach and finally one in the countryside. I thought as I live near a beach, and in the country side and work in a town I could take photos in locations! So this is what I did!!!

I will show you my worst ones first then my favorite picture last!

You can see all the other entries on the Filofax Facebook page!

Personal Domino in Ultra Violet - City Break 

This picture was supposed to have more of a city theme BUT there were lots of people around and I felt a bit silly doing a "Filofax Photoshoot" with a tripod and all in the centre of town in a more idyllic location! SORRY

Personal Swift in Sage - Countryside

Now this is my favorite picture as the location worked perfectly! I went down in to the woods and set it all up to take this photo and the lighting and everything was just PEREFCT!!!! 

In the next few weeks I shall be having one or two competitions to win some of these Filofaxes! I am just trying to come up with a good idea as to how it should all be set up!!! 

So keep checking my blog for the competition!!!!!!

Thank you Filofax for making it possible for me to do this and join in with the challenge it has been so fun coming up with the ideas!
