Letter writing — of the actual pen, paper, stamp variety — is a skill verging on extinction thanks to our email society. In a cool retro twist, purveyors of the-next-big-thing in fashion, Opening Ceremony, and BAZAAR editor at large and etiquette expert Derek Blasberg — writer of Classy and Very Classy — are reigniting the letter writing revolution with a new stationery concept, "Handwritten Letter Helper." Launching today exclusively at Opening Ceremony stores and online, the collection includes eight form letters to be personalized by the sender, with anniversary, thank you, love notes, birthday wishes and congratulations marking just a few of the topics covered. Consider it a chic and thoughtful Mad Libs, with fill-in-the-blanks to make the effort easy. Blasberg explains, "I love receiving handwritten notes, almost as much as I love sending them, and I wish more people would get on the letter-writing bandwagon with me. I figured this would be a fun, festive and endearing way to get people to realize the impact of putting pen to paper again."
