A Special Offer for Pink Julep Abroad Readers From Paperless Post!!!

Paperless post is a great new modern way of sending cards, greetings or invitations to your next soiree! It's easy, affordable and eco-chic! I'm in love with this concept and I wish I had known about it when we were planning our wedding! On the day that hubby took his CPA exam in Miami, he flew out at 5am, went straight to the test center, left after his exam and spent an hour looking for a post office to mail our save the date cards (saving us over $100 in international postage). If I had known about Paperless Post, I might have gone this route instead.

There are so many options to chose from for color and theme of your greeting or invitation.

Customization options are available and you can even create a card using a photo. Paperless Post offers options for tracking RSVP's and you can manage your address book within your account. Each greeting is sent using a stamp. Stamps can be purchased through the website and they never expire. Coins can also be purchased and you can use the coins to customize your greeting with envelope liners or other add-ons.

Fabulous Stationery from Dempsey & Carroll

I recently saw the Simon Doonan Collection for Dempsey & Carroll in the August issue of Vogue and I decided to check out their website! Though slightly on the pricey side, Dempsey & Carroll has so many cute options for stationery and they also offer custom designs as well. A box of note cards and envelopes from Dempsey & Carroll would make a fabulous gift for anyone, especially as hostess gifts or for young graduates heading off to college in the fall. The designs are adorable and tasteful and the envelopes are lined as well, which is a deal-breaker for me. Since discovering Papyrus in NYC, I'll never go back to sending out stationery with unlined envelopes! Here are my favorite designs from the Dempsey & Carroll boxed stationery collections:

I've been bitten by the shopping bug. I just keep browsing and wanting to buy stuff all the time, even though I should be 1. saving money for our move and 2. not buying stuff because it's one more thing I have to fit into suitcases or boxes for the move. Simple truth is... can't. I'm in the mood for shopping and I can't stop... need to occupy myself with something else. Anything else! But I did find some super cute stuff today at Books & Books that will actually help with the move, including the weekly organizer pictured above by Galison in the rosehip pattern! Have a look at the inside below, including weekly planning sheets, post-it notes and a notepad! So cute!

These labels will come in handy for our move... or something else in the future I'm sure. These labels by Galison are the William Morris Rose Garden pattern taken from a print in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London! Perfect for the gal who's moving to London! YAY!

I've had my eye on this Cath Kidston notebook for ages! Well, now with all the lists I'm making in preparation for the move, while training my replacement and during one of my busiest times ever at work, I simply can't live without a notebook... and it has to be cute if I'm living with it!

While I was out, I spotted Hanky Panky's in one of the shops... I used to hate Hanky Panky underwear, but now they're my favorite. I must admit they take some getting used to, but now I love them. I am definitely planning on picking up a couple of pairs before I leave. Does anyone know if I can get Hanky Panky's in London?
