Planning with an A5 agenda was never an interest of mine. For years (as seen on my blog) Erin Condren’s Coiled LifePlanners were my “go-to”.
But with the release of the 2021 – 2022 A5 Ring Agenda – I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make the switch from a coiled planner to a ring agenda.
A Sophisticated Look
While the coiled planners give you the option to swap out covers with Erin Condren’s interchangeable covers, the A5 ring agenda is permanent. But I’m not complaining!
I wish you could feel how soft the cover is on this planner.
It’s made of vegan leather (so it’s vegan friendly,) flexible yet still keeps all of your pages together nicely especially since it has a magnetic flap.
The cover comes in four beautiful colors: Blush, Camel, Champagne and Mid Century Circles. It was hard to decide between Champagne and Blush, because they both look like they fit my personal style. Finally I chose Blush.
However, it would be a cool idea if the A5 Ring Agenda covers were sold by itself in case you want to change looks at some point in the future.
You can customize the agenda by choosing from three theme options: Mid Century Circles, Just My Type and Flora (I chose Flora because I’m obsessed with anything floral!)
The theme you pick will be displayed throughout your planner.
Stylishly Functional Agenda
Just like the Coiled LifePlanner, you can count on experiencing Erin Condren’s durable 80 pound text weight Mohawk paper. What does that mean? It means no ink bleeding on your planner pages.
There are only two layouts to choose from: weekly and daily. My agenda has the daily layout and I absolutely love it! The daily layout dedicates and entire page for each day of the month, so you have plenty of space to decorate, plan your schedule and write notes.
A 12 month or 18 month calendar option is offered when you customize your agenda.
Another thing about this A5 planner (and this is a BIG bonus to me) are the pages. You can’t rearrange or add pages in the coiled planner, but you can most certainly remove, add or rearrange pages in the A5 Ring Agenda!
I also really love there is a pen holder attached, so it makes it super convenient to keep a pen with your planner at all times.
The built-in pockets are a nice feature too. There are three card holders, a skinny pocket, sticky note pocket, medium notepad pocket and a large side pocket.
Like the coiled LifePlanners, you still get a perpetual calendar and sticker sheets at no additional cost.
Everything Flora
This has got to be my most favorite design from Erin Condren. Flora is absolutely beautiful, and inspiring to me like the flowers in my garden at home.
These are the accessories I ordered in Flora: Sticker Book, Coiled Notebooks in Dahlia and Peony, Assorted LifePlanner Sticker Pack, and Snap-in Stylized Sticky Notes (for my coiled notebooks.)
I didn’t order it yet, but I seriously have my eye on their Flora Ballpoint Pen and Flora Planny Pack. So cute!
Keep an eye on my Instagram as I will be posting my planning process via Insta Stories.
Thank you so much to the Erin Condren team for the opportunity to try out their newest addition to the planning world.
Happy planning everyone!
