Matchbook’s third issue is officially live. Is it just me or is it hard to believe our site’s only been around for 9 weeks?! Talk about a whirlwind. Hope you enjoy. Thank you SO much for your support :) xx Katie

So my loves, I need a bit of help. I’m going to be celebrating my birthday next week in New York and would love some restaurant suggestions for dinner with my girlfriends (including my amazing Matchbook team coming from Philadelphia, Kansas City and D.C.!). I’d prefer somewhere low key yet scrumptious — top contenders are Schillers, Balthazar, JG Melon…any other suggestions? I’d love to try somewhere new…

I hate to go boy crush Tiger Beat on you, but Anna Bond posted these Esquire photos of Joseph Gordon Levitt and I couldn’t resist spreading the love. He has the same, thin throwback look and dress of my handsome husband — who could resist?

I read about this incredible auction on Hollister Hovey’s lovely blog and am now left wishing for my very own butterflies. Aren’t they breathtaking?

Hi loves! Do any of my geek chic readers have WordPress expertise (or know someone who does)? I’m in desperate need of some tech help here on the blog and am looking to hire someone to do a bit of freelance work. If you or someone you know is interested please email me a.s.a.p. at katie@theneotraditionalist.com
Thank you kindly! P.S. How cute is this necklace?
