How darling are these Laduree screen prints from Lucile’s Kitchen? The limited edition iridescent silver has my name all over it. Scrumptious!
Announcing…
November 16, 2010
Greetings from San Francisco, New York and Kansas City!
It is with great excitement I announce that in January 2011 my dear friend Jane Lilly Warren and I are launching a new monthly lifestyle publication titled Matchbook: Field Guide to a Charmed Life. Each digital issue we look forward to celebrating the classics (shaken and stirred!) in our own unique fashion with delectable bites of style, beauty, decor, travel, and culture. The darling Fallon Hogarty has become our right-hand-gal as we organize the spectacular line-up for our premier issue. I’ve been pinching myself the entire process and it’s only just begun! I do hope you’ll join us on this grand adventure by following us on Twitter and “liking” us on Facebook. I can’t wait to share this surreal experience with you every step of the way! The Matchbook team believes there ought to be a destination for campfires, confetti, and joie de vivre in the virtual world — and we’re setting out to create it.
Feel free to snatch the image above and spread the news! None of this would have ever been possible without your support. Thank YOU for helping to make this Neo-Trad’s dreams come true!
From lipstick to letterpress, gelato to grosgrain, and Paris to Peru, consider us your field guide to a charmed life!
Let Them Eat…Macaroons?
October 13, 2010
I spotted this macaroon cake over an hour ago among the wedding photos of the lovely Cherry Blossom Girl and my mouth still hasn’t stopped watering. Isn’t it pure delicious divinity, all those pretty pastels stacked sky high? It’s already been settled that I must have one, but for what occasion?
Hey Good Lookin’
October 12, 2010
Since one of my wedding vows was “to learn to cook the basics” I’ve been thinking about how I might go about sprucing up our kitchen. First things first, I’m going to need a sweet apron, don’t you think? This red polka dot number by Dollface Aprons is pretty darn cute, but they also have cherries, roses and plaid. How’s a girl to choose?
Porcelain Queen
August 11, 2010
This trio of unconventional porcelain serving pieces from Anthropologie has me head over heels. I just love that they’ve reinterpreted our stainless favorites by casting them in bright white ceramic. I can already see myself dishing out hot tomato soup this fall from the big serving pot. Simple, chic and traditional…with a twist!
