Oui! Oui! Belle de Jour!

Folks, it's that time of the year again when all sorts of calendars, diaries and journals come flooding our local bookstores. Even fastfood chains, boutiques and coffee shops don't spare us from attempting to help us get our shit together.

I don't particularly mind this, as I am a planner freak. I absolutely LOVE quirky planners and notebooks. I actually use 3 planners simultaneously this year -- one for work, one for journalling and one for keeping track of what I lose my money for. Yeah, I hear you. I'm just a teensy weensy bit obssessed.

That doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a good planner, nor have excellent time-management skills. Nor does it mean that I'm a control freak. I'm still as disorganised as one can be. I just have a really poor memory.

While everyone else will still be looking for the perfect planner for next year, I already know one that I do want to have --





The Belle de Jour 2009 Power Planner is the ultimate planner for women who want to live the IT Girl lifestyle and will be available starting next week.

As Frustrated Sosyalera is aiming to be an IT Girl, this is perrrrrfect! I currently use the BDJ 2008 Planner for work and it is really very good. Just in case you're wondering, the term "Belle de Jour" simply means "IT Girl" in French.
