The Card Shop: Stylish Love, Love, Love
The Love, Love, Love Card ($4.50) from Two Trick Pony is a great example of a simple, stylish Valentine's Day card. I'd save this one for my graphic designer friends, or anyone that's interested in typography. This card and envelope are made from 100-percent postconsumer waste recycled paper, and come packaged in a biodegradable, compostable PLA sleeve.
The Card Shop: Two Trick Pony Holiday Cards
I love the adorable cards and prints created by Laurie Mee and Carrie Siegel, the co-owners of Two Trick Pony. You may remember that I've shared their cards with you before. Laurie and Carrie's retro designs are screen-printed by hand on 100 percent post-consumer waste recycled paper with water-based inks and often include simple, heartfelt sentiments on the card's image.
The Card Shop: Thank-You Cards From Two Trick Pony
Laurie Mee and Carrie Siegel, the co-owners of Two Trick Pony, create delightful card designs that are screen-printed by hand on 100 percent post-consumer waste recycled paper with water-based inks. I love the retro look of their designs, and the straightforward perfection in the cards' sentiments.
Since I'm in the middle of writing thank-you cards to our wedding guests, my eye was particularly drawn to these thank-you cards ($16 for six cards and envelopes).

The uber helpful Tinyurl is great for sending shortened links to friends and posting on Twitter, but it sure does take a lot of steps to complete the task. First you have to copy the link, go to Tinyurl, paste, make your link tiny, then go back over to your Twitter page (or email draft, IM, whatever) and paste the shortened link. Sounds like a lot of steps, right?
London Fashion Week, Spring 2009: House of Holland
Who would have thought, two years ago, that a man who has made his name in fashion with quirky t-shirts would now be showing his fourth collection to London Fashion Week? It's quite impressive and despite his critics suggesting he was initially a one-trick pony (which amusingly was the title of his first catwalk show), Holland has managed to tap in to key trends each season which are regularly spotted on his celebrity fans.
This season the front row was like a who's who of the London party scene including Alexa Chung, Kimberly Stewart and Alice Dellal.
