Pretty Pups
Another day, another Etsy find! Really though, how charming are these canine cutouts? Each carefully crafted collage is made of ten to twenty individually hand-cut pieces — such attention to detail! We’re off to order the pug and cocker spaniel… Which breed would you choose?

Top Knot
How fantastic is artist Elizabeth Mayville’s “Top Knot” series? We love a messy bun and the striped shirts are the icing on the cake. Did we mention prints are only $20 and original paintings $150? Perfect for the Matchbook girl’s apartment! Shop Elizabeth’s work on Etsy…
Blush & Black
This afternoon we’re making a statement in blush and black. Sometimes we prefer to let the details (needlepoint and snakeskin and polka dots, oh my!) do the talking…

Mint Moment
This morning we can’t help but swoon over H&M’s new “Winter Pastels” collection. How fantastic is their bold mix of blush, mint, hunter green, and red? Not to mention cable-knit paired with sequins…yes, please!

Hey there, Haydee…
This past week we took a little field trip to Coach’s darling Bleeker Street location (their women’s boutique is the cutest!) and found ourselves hankering after the Haydee Loafer in a major way. We’re still debating which hue however — gold, carnelian, pewter? Which would you chose?

Charleston, I Love You
Do you ever read Olivia Rae James’ beautiful blog? It’s one of our very favorites and lately, we’ve been eating up her “Charleston, I Love You” series. In it she spotlights interesting creatives in her beautiful town of Charleston, South Carolina. The photos are stunning and the interviews refreshingly insightful. Have you ever been to Charleston? What did you think?
P.S. This Matchbook story Olivia worked on for our July 2011 issue remains a favorite!
