Baby Bump: Pretty Printing

babysugar — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:00:23 PDT

There are two camps on the birth announcement field - those who gravitate to more modern ones with photos of the baby and those who prefer traditional cards that simply introduce the newborn.

If you are in the latter camp, the chic, clean designs of New York-based Pretty Printing should be right up your alley. Created by a former fashion executive, the company's line of birth announcements and thank you notes feature preppy iconography such as boats, anchors, prams and monogrammed onesies. Pretty Printing's simple approach can also be seen in the beautiful patterns and whimsical icons - ice cream cones, boat totes, espadrilles and wellies that are offered on their party invitations ( baby showers and children's birthdays), stationery and moving announcements.

Our Latest Obsession - Zimmermann's Surfer-Cool Tops

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 17 May 2012 13:28:59 PDT

With Spring's sporty trend in high tow, we've become completely obsessed with Shopbop and Zimmermann's cool, and somewhat genius, capsule collection of rash guard tops. When it couldn't find any fashionable rash guards in sight, Shopbop enlisted Aussie swimwear brand Zimmermann to help create this amazing capsule collection, priced from $185 to $195, featuring pretty rose prints, bold colorblocking, and artsy mixed patterns. The tops are perfect for stylish surfers, but they can easily go from the beach to city, which we predict will be the likely case with most of us. We love the idea of pairing one with a black neoprene skirt and a sleek pair of platform sandals for a sport-chic Summer ensemble, or pair it with denim cutoffs and strappy flats for an effortless day at the park. On board? See and shop the collection in the slideshow now.
