These needlepoint glasses cases from Jonathan Adler never fail to make me laugh. The heart pair is my favorite. So Lolita. So granny chic.
Whenever I find myself admiring a colorful Pucci scarf I am reminded of a certain afternoon in which Jane Lilly Warren and I jumped the train to Milan for lunch. We lived in Switzerland’s lake region just north of the fashion capital and made the short trip often (detours to Como were another favorite!). After a scrumptious lunch (proscuitto and melon anyone?) we ducked into Pucci and each splurged on a small twill scarf. Jane wore hers during one of Matchbook’s shoots in New York this month and seeing it again made me smile. Such a sweet memento of our years abroad… Now, when to make a return visit? I think a Matchbook field trip is in order! Who’s with me?
This Dance Away Dress from Anthropologie is just the type of little black dress this neo-trad needs. I love the tiny dots paired with the fluttery ruffles and think it would transition nicely from winter nights by the fire (with tights!) to outdoor spring cocktail parties.
