Using FC inserts with the Filofax Saffiano

The lovely Judith : (Here YouTube Channel here) has asked me how the Franklin Covey inserts fit inside a Filofax Saffiano. I snapped a few pictures, hoping to show you all what that looks like. I am only using the month on two pages calendar inserts from Franklin Covey. 

 There is still a tiny bit of space between the strap and the tabs, 

but just enough so that the tabs are not bending.

 Here is another angle. The tabs are not sticking out at all. 

 I use to have my fly leaf in the front to hold my FriXion multi-pen. But since the Saffiano's pen loop is on the front cover, I have moved this fly leaf to the middle of my Filofax, so the pen now sits on top of the tabs of the FC inserts. 

I hope this helps. I will be doing a one week update of my Saffiano to show you all what I've changed or didn't change to my setup, etc. on  my YouTube channel.

This week I started off by getting a haircut. It has been very HOT here in California lately, so, I chopped off about 6 inches. It seems like a lot, but because my hair was very long to begin with, it doesn't seen different at all.
I am still without a job, so I have been keeping myself busy helping make decorations for my cousin's wedding shower. We had a mini Pom Pom making session at my house! So much fun!

I have moved into my Personal Bright Purple Saffiano Filofax!

Filofax was able to send me one to do a review for all of you!
So, a big thank you to the PR Company of Filofax for sending this sample out to me.
On another note, I have been working on doing a huge *giveaway* for you all because without all my subscribers, this blog and YouTube wouldn't be the same! I do this for you guys! So, this is my way of thanking you all for loving my work!
For Mother's Day, my family pre-ordered The original in Patent Purple for me, so I'm excited for that to arrive!
That's it for now, hope you all had a great week! 

My Filofax Review: Osterley

Here is my review of the Personal Grey Ostereley and the Compact Wine Osterley.

A special thanks to Carla, for letting me borrow (Olivia) the Grey Osterley to do this review.

 

This luxurious Filofax is made out of Italian calf leather in a high gloss, crocodile print. 

 

Here is a look inside. 

The interior is has smooth plain leather. 

They both have the same interior layout.

To the left: A full length pocket with two half pockets and two curved stitched credit card pockets.

To the right: Another full length pocket with two curved stitched credit card pockets. 

Both also have two (2) part elasticated/part leather pen loops on each side. 

Ring sizes: 

Personal - 23mm

Comapact - 15mm

Pocket - 19mm

A5- 25mm

Color options: Grey, Brown, Wine, Orange

This is the A5 Orange Osterley

If you look closely you can see some slight rub off on the color of the leather especially on the edges and the corners of the binder. 

 I have brought this to the attention to Filofax, but because my Compact was a gift, I did not have the receipt for it, which they were asking me for. Also, it is such a gorgeous binder, it was too good to give it back, in fear of receiving a replacement that was not as great.

 Besides that, the leather is feels more stiff, or has more structure to it, but a bit softer than the Finsbury. Both these binders lay flat, no training needed.

From my observation, the Grey seemed not as buttery soft as the other colors. I could feel the finish was not dry per se, but felt more matte. You can see the shine in the leather, but it doesn't quite stand out like the other colors do. 

The Osterely is one of my favorite styles, I hope they don't discontinue this for a while.

This is the Compact Osterley Compared to the Compact Holborn. They are standing up side by side and you can see how the Holborn looks a bit longer than the Osterley. 

I hope you found this review helpful.
