Emily's Post: Neon!




Unless you've spent the last six months or so under a rock, you're well aware that neon is a huge trend. While I have been prone to dismiss the idea of "trends" (pshh, my tastes are not determined by popular opinion), they are rather useful, to my mind, in two ways.

  1. Trends create a sudden flood of thematically-similar products into the marketplace, which can awaken an appreciation for an aesthetic I had previously under-appreciated, and
  2. in the midst of that flood there are bound to be products that marry the "trendy" with elements I already love, thus providing me the opportunity to broaden my tastes in a way that feels authentic.
Okay, fine. So maybe I'm a little bit influenced by trends.

I have yet to take the plunge sartorially-speaking, and honestly I probably won't; this Irish/Scottish/Western European mutt does not mix well with lime green.

But! I am quite happily indulging, satiating my newfound neon cravings with stationery. Read on to see some of my favorite cards -- all of which are currently available in the shop!

These are too, too beautiful. You must peruse the
Moglea lookbook. Seriously, do it.

We can always count on a.favorite for fun,
unique cards. Love this more literal take on the trend. 

Perfect for a pool party!

Last but not least: I dare you to not smile,
looking at this card from Farewell Paperie.
Don't hurt yourself.

Happy Friday! Hope your weekend is fun, bright, and indulgent.
