Over the past few months, I've become something of a paper addict.
It began innocently enough, trekking to target to find cute note cards for post-interview "thank yous." But with more interviews and more note cards (job hunting in this economy is no joke!), I became more curious about the letterpress community and all the vendors that made-up the industry. My journey led me to several cool finds, which I intend to begin sharing with you here at Chic & Untroubled.
First up? Anna Bond's Rifle Paper Co., which is based in Winter Park, Florida. Although we're still in the thick of 2011, Bond has released images of her upcoming 2012 calenders. Covered in Bond's gorgeous illustrations, the larger calenders are botanicial themed and the smaller calenders are covered in brightly-colored fruit. The notebooks, which come in 4 different options, will be available in the online shop shortly.
If you're looking to get a head start on your Christmas shopping this year, these items would make for great little stocking stuffers. And if not, it's never too early to begin looking for new office/cubicle swag.

In a perfect world, we would wake-up to meticulously crafted ensembles laid out for our choosing by an uber-stylist like Edward Enninful or Katie Grand. Since most of us aren‘t society girls with lush bank accounts and zip codes to match, we‘ve become our own power stylists. But with affordable personalized e-commerce sites popping up left and right, things are beginning to change for budget conscious fashionistas.
