KATIE ARMOUR

California Dreamin’

Remember my hysterical Grandma Rita? I came across this vintage photo of her yesterday among my treasures and had to share. Such chic shades! I’m flying home to California in a week and can’t wait to see her and the rest of my equally entertaining family. We’ll spend a day in Santa Barbara with my older brother, shoot a little Matchbook story, clock some hours at the beach, and enjoy al fresco dinners with my aunts, uncles, cousins, and bottomless glasses of local Edna Valley wine. I may even join my dad on the tennis court (most comical as I haven’t picked up a racket in years…). Counting down the days!

Scalamandré Zebra Slippers

Oh my goodness. The iconic Scalamandré zebra motif can now be found on Stubbs & Wootton slippers. Who wants a pair? I do! To match the barware of course…

These lovely images by photographer Inès Amd have me ready to pack my suitcase and hop the next flight to Paris. Who’s with me?

Eloise Moves to Brooklyn

I went to the Wythe Hotel for dinner again on Saturday night (order the steak) and this modern take on Eloise has me in stitches.
