Fall looks

Few take on the classics like Tommy Hilfiger and we simply can’t get enough of his new arrivals for fall! While we always adore a crisp stripe for summer and handsome plaid in the winter, we’re loving all four of these looks for the upcoming season. So curious to hear, do you have a go-to print for each season, or simply mix and match? What print strikes your fancy for fall? ;)

Pop Portraits

Looking for something fun for your walls? We’re currently coveting a piece from artist Don Florence’s Fashionistas series. Currently available on Artspace, the paintings depict eccentric fashion icons in bright, bold hues. Each 24″ x 18″ print is part of a limited edition series of 100 and is signed and numbered by the artist. Kate, Coco, Grace – which would you choose?

Do you ever stumble across a fabulous blog and think, “I have to tell my best friend about this!” Well, that’s just how we felt upon discovering designer Olympia Le-Tan’s deliciously quirky Tumblr, The Olympia Press. It’s brimming with her beautifully crafted clutches as well as all sorts of vintage book cover inspiration. Check it out and let us know what you think! :)

Shutterbabe

Our favorite gift for the budding photographers in our lives? Bloom Theory camera straps! Their lace, tulle, and sequin details have “Matchbook girl” written all over them. Did we mention there is one with a big bow? We’ll stop there…

Solange for Madewell

Is it just us or is the latest Madewell campaign starring the g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s Solange Knowles so very Matchbook?! The sheep print jumper, the polka dots, the stripes… We simply can’t get enough!

The Daily Fancy

This morning we can’t help but swoon over these Gap loafers! Paired with a summer frock or fall corduroys they’re the perfect transition piece from summer to fall. There are tons of fun colors and patterns to choose from, but our favorites include these calf hair, pink suede, herringbone, and polka dot. Sure to put a skip in your step!
