Filofax or Lilly Pulitzer?

First of all, sorry for my huge lengthy absence! All I can say is that end of year exams + full time internship + being lazy = no posts! 

For a while, I have been seriously considering using my filofax as a more overall planner to include finances, family engagements, etc. So basically a desk-bound reference planner. For this to be practical, I would need to get another planner just for my academic stuff. The problem I have with using the filofax (personal size) for university is that I just can't fit assignments, classes and everything else on one day. I am also reluctant to lug around a bigger filofax due to the already-heavy weight of my bag! 

In high school, I was a massive fan of the Paperchase academic diaries, but my American friends are absolutely raving about the Lilly Pulitzer agendas. I don't blame them either. The designs are beautiful and they even come with stickers (appealing to my, perhaps dominant, childish side!). The colourful layout and inspiring quotes even encourage you to want to organise your life!

"Well why don't you just get one, then?" I hear you saying...one problem: I'm in the UK. Lilly does not ship outside of the States. The handful of companies that do ship charge a hefty £16.59 postage charge, on top of the price of the agenda, which is considerably more than your average Smith's diary. 

So, do I just bite the bullet and fork out the £30 something, or just make do with a UK one?! Have any of you guys had experience with the Lilly agendas?
