Reason enough for more snail mail


I think we can all agree that with email being the prime way of communication these days, getting a letter in the mail is so special. Now, snail mail is about to get better- and chicer- Alber Elbaz is designing 2 special stamps for the French postal service, La Poste! In celebration of Lanvin's 120th birthday, the "collection" will also include pencils and notebooks, on sale in a special post office in Paris. Book your trip now ladies- to be released early next year!

Oh, and if you go, please send me a Lanvin stamped postcard. Merci beaucoup! :)

    I still love to receive letters and cards via snail mail. I feel it's more special.

    That Lanvin postcard is so cute, I don't mind getting that in my mailbox too.

    Oh how cute and fabulous! I miss snail mail too. There was something so personal about it and romantic. You can keep letters from friends and lovers forever...but e-mails? Not so much. Who knows what will happen to cyber space one day.

    It kinda suck that the last snail mail I received was a rejection letter. Haha!
    I had good times with the postal service. Someone I really liked back in grade school mailed me one summer. Awesome. :D
