One day, I lost everything on my cell phone. Yes, everything.  Appointments, pictures, contact information ~ all gone.  Numerous attempts to retrieve the data, and a visit to the Apple store was unsuccessful.  This was, of course, before I really understood important things like syncing and the iCloud and all that stuff.  Did someone just say “Duhhh”?

That experience taught me something.  I am far too reliant on my phone.  I mean…seriously. What IF you lost your phone?  So call me paranoid OR call me the SMARTEST, CHICEST fashionista in town because I just purchased this fabulous Graphic Image Datebook.  It was the worst feeling ever to not know what I had scheduled for the day, week, month. But NO MORE!  I can check that big ‘ole fear off my list.

(Like the one above?  Just click here ~  they have lots of colors to choose from.)

Graphic Image creates luxurious leather goods that are amazingly affordable.   I’m a big fan of their leather mini phone cases, as well as their IPad cases.  But while poking around their site, I spotted these other great leather items:

Like this entertaining book for the mixologist and gardener you might know, or these beautiful leather writing pens:

I love these gorgeous coasters:

and these colorful passport covers:

One of the BEST things about Graphic Image is their sister company, GiGi New York ~  a company I have been blogging about for quite some time now.  Remember this yummy clutch?  It’s a GiGi!

Many of the items on each site can be personalized and both sites are currently offering a promotion of 15% off from now until September 8, 2014.  Just use code: FALLFASHION.  Perfect, because I’ve been eye-balling this, this and this.

So although I still use my phone for everything else, I just feel like I can’t trust it for my calendar.  Not to mention, my phone would never look as good as this UNLESS I covered it with one of these!
