Day 11: Calling Cards
A classy and fabulous life will always include rubbing elbows with new and fascinating people. You must always endeavor to allow your amazing self to shine. First impressions matter, but I believe how you are remembered is much more important. The classy way to make a lasting impression and remain in touch is to have a calling card.
I must admit that this is something that yours truly needs to work on herself! This week I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Noelani who helms the fabulous Mon Petit Chou Chou and was green with envy over her ladylike calling cards. A fabulous lady definitely deserves a fabulous calling card! And while I may not be putting my face on mine — we can’t all be as ravishing as Ms. Saint above — I am officially in the market!
Earlier in the month I talked about how much I love Los Angeles custom letterpress Sugar Paper and their fabulous social stationary — luckily they also have some very beautiful calling cards!

Once I have my cards in hand, I will be in need of a classy way to carry them. I delight in the fact that this is a bit of a masculine accessory. I can’t decide if I should get something on the girly side or embrace my inner dandy… Below, a few options that caught my eye.

Fabulous calling cards are simply a must. I am so taken with the concept that I think I need to make a personal calling card, in addition to a blog, card. Isn’t two always better than one?
PS, I settled on a monogrammed case.
I completely agree, and I bet I will be jealous of your calling cards as well! I look forward to receiving one in the near future!
