Van Der Spek Unboxing
I did it! I finally found a ring planner other than a Filofax that I truly love! Here are a few pictures from my Van Der Spek Unboxing video.
It took me a few weeks to save up the funds for this pretty little thing, but thankfully the shipping is super fast, so I didn’t have to wait long once I placed my order.
This is a Van Der Spek Standard, from the Touch Me collection, and it is in the color Noir. This is Van Der Spek’s ready-to-ship line of planners. Once you place your order, it will be shipped within the week.
Look at the gorgeous texture of this Buffalo Leather planner! One of the reasons I chose this planner is because of the pocket configurations. Even though I don’t always use the pockets, like in my Malden, it’s nice to know they are there. With this planner, I want to add die cuts and stickers. You know, get out of my comfort zone a bit and pretty it up!

I’ve heard a lot about these Krause rings too! They are replaceable and have the most wonderful snapping sound when you close them. I chose the 30mm rings for this planner. 
This back pocket is the main reason I chose this planner. I originally fell in love with the pocket on the back of The Foxy Fix Boss babe Madison Planner but had a hard time deciding between the pocket with the elastic closer, or the button closure with no pocket. I am so grateful to @a_planner_addicts_world, for introducing me to the Van Der Spek planner. I assumed that they were out of my price range, but their Touch Me line is just right! You can customize a planner with them as well, but that can get a bit costly…a girl can dream 😉
Here is that wonderful pocket! I honestly don’t know if I will use it yet, but I plan to!
This leather is sooooooo floppy. I know you can add the stiffener to the custom line, but I appreciate a softer, floppier planner.
Here are a few pictures of my new VDS next to my Personal size Malden…just in case you want a comparison.
