If you haven't heard (though I hope you have!), the first issue of Matchbook is live and available for your poring-over-every-page pleasure. The selection above is only a taste of all the good stuff (how covetable is Rita Konig's red Chanel bag, accessorized with very necessary matchbook?!). Katie, Jane, and Fallon have just been dreams to work with, and I'm already counting down the days until issue #2!

I first heard about Chance via a collage + accompanying post by the most talented Jane of Lox Papers - I fell hard and fast for it all, the vision of former Kate Spade creative director Julia Leach, who sees a good striped tee as "the paper clip of personal style" (hear hear!). As you might imagine, this early autumn photo montage on the Chance website did nothing to diminish my love. The fall take on their signature boatneck stripes? "Timeless, seasonless, ideal for Indian summer days and as a layer as the air turns crisp." Agreed on all counts. As it happens, I see some boatneck stripes in my immediate future, as soon as I get out of this office. Stripes, wine, and a crisp Potomac sunset. I wish you all the same! Happy weekend! XO
