Doing It Right: Affordable Blogging Accessories


When it comes to blogging I have tons yet to learn, from HTML to photography tricks. If however I had to choose one thing I am pretty good at, that would be finding affordable yet cute items I can use to make blogging as organised and smooth as possible, aka shopping!

With that in mind I set out to find a blogger's planner but who knew how hard that would be! I saw various printable templates online on Etsy and that famous sold out planner on ASOS (yes the one that everyone has) but they weren't exactly what I was looking for. I turned to Amazon and decided to go ahead and try my luck with a diary shipped from China. I confess I didn't have high expectations but when diary got here around 10 days later I was rather impressed. The Molang Diary Weekly Planner £4.58 contains 2016 as well as 2017 calendars and despite being mostly written in English, the drawings are in Korean which doesn't bother me at all because they're really cute as can be. I'm extremely tempted to get them in other colours too and stickers to take cuteness to a whole other level, because why not!

And because I'm a self-confessed shopaholic with no willpower, I thought I'd get 10 Cute Gel Pens £3.99 to write in my pretty new diary. These too came from China but they were so worth the wait. They come in a neatly packed plastic case, every pen is a different colour and overall, they are beyond gorgeous. Both the diary and pens look amazing on camera and will definitely be popping up as props in my blog photos. 


I never knew blogging would mean so much time spent on my phone so when I finally got my hands on the Iphone 6s Rose Gold I wanted a case that would be adorable as well as very instagrammable (don't judge me). Thankfully I was recently contacted by Caseapp and asked if I wanted to create a Custom Phone Case* and I of course jumped at the chance. At first I didn't really know whether I wanted a case full of pictures of me and the boyfriend, but finally I decided instead to go for something a little more blogging related and find lots of "vintagy" pictures to create the perfect collage. I really like how it came out and the quality is beyond amazing. The case feels sturdy, looks pretty and best of all, actually protects my phone. I can't recommend this enough and if you too want a case make sure to use a coupon I have for you PAMCASE20 for 20% off ; you're welcome.


What do you think about these adorable items? Let me know below!
Wishing you all an amazing weekend ahead! Happy Friday beauties and thanks for reading!

  5. That phone case is so cute and totally Instagrammable (I ain't judging haha). I also chose my diary this year with its photographic potential in mind. What blogger doesn't think about that all important question "will this photograph well?" when buying new accessories. Super cute selection. I love them. =D

  8. I'm a bit of a mess when it comes to staying organized and planned...as much as I'd like to say otherwise. I own tonnes of planners and pens (none as cute as these, though!!) but I'm rubbish at putting them into full use, haha. I hope you have a fantastic Friday, Pam!

  29. I can't believe I own the Iphone 5s, and I know I won't be able to buy the Iphone 6s for a couple of months but I'm already planning on the accessories I'm going to get for it. That case looks so pretty, and exactly the kind that I'd probably buy for myself.

    I have yet to find an agenda for me, so I stuck with the outlook one because I can carry it around everywhere on my phone and I don't have to worry. But I have to admit that I am looking for one still. Hopefully I won't find it in like September when the year is nearly over.

    Babe I don't know if it's me or my computer but the link to the agenda isn't working. Maybe it's me!

    Have a lovely weekend <3

  31. Super cute! I literally was thinking this past week that I need to buy me a pretty planner. I didn't want to get a Lilly Pulitzer planner like everyone else I know. I'm glad you brought up getting yours from Amazon because that would have been the last place I would look, but I'm putting it at the top of my list.

    Thanks Pam :)

  37. I love Caseapp! It is so fun to use, I had a really good experience with them. As for the planners, I never buy any because I usually write in them only in the beginning and then forget...
