UPDATE: We have a TON of the Emily Ley 2016 Simplified Planners (that start in January 2016) headed our way in early September! You won’t be able to pre-order online, but call our shop to be added to our wait list. We’ll have all styles available, as well as more baby books!

So Emily Ley’s baby books sold out within hours. CRAZY! We’re working on another order that I believe will come sometime in September. Be sure you’re on our newsletter list (signup over in the column to the right –>) to be kept in the know!

Next up are the 2015-2016 Academic Planners from Emily. These are dated August 2015-December 2016 and come in two different types – Weekly and Daily – and in 3 different cover styles. We are expecting our shipment in on Friday (so local folks, you’ll want to talk to me ASAP if you want one)! They’ll be available for sale online May 6th at 10am Eastern.

Here are the new styles, all images courtesy of Emily Ley over on Instagram @simplifiedplanner:

What’s new for this version of the Simplified Planner (that has been announced so far)?

• NEW! Smaller size – 7.75 x 9 inches (compared to the current 9×10 size)
• NEW! 25% lighter weight!
• NEW! Color on every page!
• NEW! Simplified page layout!
• NEW! Each Simplified Planner comes in a navy + gold keepsake box!

Have any questions about the Emily Ley Simplified Planner? Just drop me a note at hello (at) paper-luxe (dot) com (or click here) and I’d be happy to chat! And last year when these went on sale on our website, some styles sold out the first DAY. So if you’re local to the Tacoma/Seattle/Kitsap area, let me know if you’d like me to reserve one for you to pickup! Otherwise, be sure to grab yours as close to May 6th as possible so you don’t miss out!

WOW. That’s all I can say about the response to the 2015 Simplified Planner by our friend, Emily Ley. Not only did we sell out super fast, but we are STILL getting frantic calls and emails months later from people desperate to find one (sorry, as far as I know, you’re more likely to find a flying unicorn at this point!)

The GOOD news is that Emily has announced 3 new editions, with 2 of them beginning on August 1, 2015! (The other is the regular version dated January 1-December 31, 2016.) She’ll reveal the new cover options (available for all styles) on April 29th, and you’ll be able to buy the academic versions starting May 6th (we’ll have all in stock online and in the shop!) You can see a sneak peak of one of the new covers in the image above. 🙂

AND just announced today, they will all be a slightly smaller size. The current planners are 9″x10″ and the new ones will be 7.75″x9″. I think this is a big improvement as the current size is just a tad too big for some purses and diaper bags.

All 3 of the new Simplified Planner editions will be available in 3 new styles (I can’t share yet, but I’ve seen them and they are ALL adorable!) and will have 8 NEW features (I know the image above says 7, but I’ve heard there are 8!).

My favorite new feature is that every page will have color on it. She’s also tweaked the page layouts to make things simpler and easier on the eyes to digest all the info.

Click here for a FREE printable of the new pages (the ones in the new planners will be dated of course).

Another fun new release (purchased separately from the Simplified Planner) in May will be gold foil magnetic page markers! They fold across the top of the current day’s page so you can always quickly find where you need to be. They’re made thin so they don’t stick out, but thick enough to see easily.

Okay, lots more information to come over the next couple months as Emily gives us sneak peaks of the new 2015-2016 Simplified Planners. Be sure to follow her on Instagram here. (By the way, if you don’t follow her yet, she’s about to have TWINS! She’s sharing her journey on Instagram and it has been a joy to follow along.)

Also, if you’re a fan of the Simplified Planner, you should really, REALLY check out the Home Base Binder. It takes planning and organization for your home to a whole new level (a good one!). So much good stuff inside, as well as a massive library of free printables to download and add to your binder (choose only what you need…and they’re FREE.) Click here for all the details on the Home Base Binder.

If maybe you’re a fan of Emily’s, but aren’t into the organization and planning part, maybe you’d love her Simplified Journal. The Simplified Journal is designed for 100 days of journaling, prayers, letters to little ones, brain dumps, big thoughts and great ideas. It’s beautiful inside and out.
