Cheeky Stationery for Cheeky Chicks

by Lauren Shapiro – January 31, 2011

Stationery is definitely a necessity in life. Thank you notes, invitations, to-do lists, they all deserve something more than a piece of notebook paper with chicken scratch scribble. Just because writing thank you notes can be dull doesn’t mean that the stationary has to be, too.

That’s where Pixie Chicago comes in: an adorable stationery website with customizable options and dozens of styles to choose from. And did we mention that one of their biggest clients is Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel?

Cassandra Rippberger, the founder of Pixie Chicago, has something to offer every style and taste. The site includes thank you and holiday cards, birthday invitations, notepads and even baby and bridal shower invitations. Perfect for yourself or for a gift. And the best part? Everything can be customized, allowing you to add your own personal touch to everything that Rippberger creates. In fact, Rippberger enjoys creating custom designs so much that she began to borrow inspiration for baby shower invitations from each of her clients’ home nursery designs.

Everything about the site is likeable and simple. It’s easy to navigate and elegantly displays each individual piece of stationery; there’s even a page that allows you to reach out to Cassandra herself to customize your very own paper creation.

Because really, who doesn’t love their very own, beautiful stationery? And you never know: you could be sending out the very same thank you notes as one of our favorite, fabulous Housewives.
