Dear Diary

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm tired of organizing my itinerary digitally. There is something wonderful about having an agenda in your purse that you can actually feel with your fingers. I was shopping for my new agenda for the new year and came across these fantastic options. Although the YSL agenda (bottom left) is hard to resist, I do prefer strong hues like red, fuchsia, and raisin. These diaries may be above your budget, but considering they can last years, they are worth the investment.

Left to right, top to bottom: Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis, $350. Hermes PM agenda, $310. Yves Saint Laurent Chyc small agenda, $595.

Mizhattan Fab Choice: Smythson of Bond Street Soho Diary, $280.
