Every calendar season, it seems like the #1 request is for daily and weekly planners that are both pretty and functional.  For whatever reason, it can often be quite a challenge to find a planner that is useful and nice to look at.  But thankfully, there are quite a few options for well-designed planners this year, and I thought I would share a few of them!
I’m so, so thrilled that Laurel Denise is bringing her 2010 yearly planner back for another round in 2011. Â Laurel’s planner was easily one of the most well-designed and useful options from 2010 and I can’t wait to pick up my 2011 edition. Â The photos above are from the 2010 edition, but this year’s version promises to be even better. Â You can read about some of the design changes here and pre-order your copy here.

Seriously, how cute is the 2011 illustrated planner by Kate Spade?
These beautiful planners by Susy*Jack for Blue Sky come in THREE convenient sizes!
I’m also a big fan of the SmartDate system from Russell + Hazel.  You can build your own planner based on your individual needs and in your choice of two size options.
