Filofax Organizer Organise Diary Planning

The lovely A5 Mia Cara in gold

Present to me; the A5 Mia Cara Gold with gold hardware and rings

 

Hi there!

It’s time for another reveal! This Mia is actually in my collection since the 8th of November. However, I haven’t found the time to properly post about this new addition. Probably been spending way too much time on the Gillio Facebook Page with all of you lovelies! If you’re included in this community you’ve been seeing some pictures already :)

Well, here’s the story to this one… I couldn’t justify getting another Gillio. The price and all that and… But… I wanted to organize myself better at work by having either a different use for my Filofax A5 Osterley OR by purchasing this lovely A5. The A5 Osterley is now for sale, amongst with a lot of other Filofaxes that are currently part of my collection. You can see the overview of all the For Sale Filofaxes here.

Why I went with the Mia? This is actually the most luxurious and complete Gillio/organizer that’s out there! This surely counts for the Pocket Mia! It has already proven itself. The A5 seems like a total solution. At least; I like to refer it as a total solution.

YES, it’s THE most heaviest binder I’ve ever held in my hands… Being A5 and all AND having this lay out means it’s top of the bill heavy! However, this Mia also works two ways. The planner section which you can take out or use it all together as one big fat Gillio! Love that!!!

For me it’s perfect, as I can take either the whole thing with me, or just the planner, or just the outer part. It’s also perfect storage and organization for my sales visits, business cards and goodies I like to give to future customers.

Well, here we go!!! I’ll try my hardest to not keep you waiting that long for a proper set up and tour of this beauty!

 

Mia Cara A5 in Gold; Gold rings and hardware

Gold pen and Gillio arrival

 

Just a little gift to me, to use at work. (And earn more money in order to fund all this LOL)

nicely wrapped the mia in gold

 

Here it is!!!

nicely in its dust bag

 

In its dust bag, it already shows its stunning color and leather. The smell: amazing!!!

In all its glory the lovely mia cara in a5 size with gold hardware

 

Out of the box! Lovely color. It’s really large/big, but it’ll work out I’m sure. Can’t wait to set her up!
I really wanted the gold with matching gold hardware. Also to see what the ‘gold rush’ was all about. It pretty much sold out on all the other (medium) mia cara’s but also the compagna’s.

I must say, the color is really lovely! BUT, I personally think it suits a little better on a smaller size binder. Say; Gold Mia Cara Pocket for instance… Too bad I can’t get my hands on that one ..

As you can see, gold all the way!!! Really didn’t want it to mix gold and silver for some reason. Not like my Medium Compagna. I really dislike that about it. Changing the rings is not a big deal, but the poppers are a whole different story!!! However, there’s hope, as Els (from Gillio) told me they’re currently investigation the options to also be able to changes poppers in the future. There’s been so many request of the gold matching and so on…

It doesn’t show that easily, but also in here; gold poppers for this compartment.

The compartment is highly functional. I’m able to put in here my Samsung S4 or even a Note 2 would fit in here. Very nice solution if you’re off to a meeting and don’t want to drop your phone. Some scenario that happens quite easily (while in a hurry) if you ask me.

Opened up! In the zipper compartment goes: memory stick, pens, gifts for clients.

On the right the planner part which you can take out and use by itself.

the full width back pocket on the mia cara

 

Another great feature; the full width exterior compartment. Which is totally amazing as this takes A4 sheets! You can also easily put in here some extra A5 size sheets and put them in here in the upright position. Love this!!!

I store in here some extra notepaper I do not need in the planner part and some brochures. All work related.

Both mia cara's in a5 size gold and pocket size dark brown

 

Both Mia Cara’s!!!! I use the Pocket Mia as my personal planner. I take it with me everywhere I go in order to keep updated with my notes, to do lists (only weekly to do’s), personal planning and work planning. Love this!!!!

I try to keep A5 Mia as professional as possible. That’s the way I like it. Just not to much decorating and such. However this Vogue post card is just very classy and add just that personal touch to it. It also makes it more girly.

That’s about it for now!!! As I’m utterly organized at this point (been using A5 Mia for 11 days now and Pocket Mia even longer), I really want to share all this with you in an upcoming post on the set up and such.

The Pocket as my main and personal planning tool really works out for me.

Hope to see you soon on the set up posts!
