Hi friends! Just wanted to let you know that the November issue of Matchbook is now live and it includes a really fun interview I did with two of my life heros, Kate and Andy Spade! Jane and I spent the morning at their home in New York and it was very possibly the coolest moment of my career thus far. They’re just the most down-to-earth, fun, and inspiring couple — I can’t say enough nice things. Anyway, I hope you get a chance to check it out! Thank you as always for your support and for spreading the world about Matchbook. Jane and I work so much sometimes we lose sight of how far we’ve come in the last 10 months –sending this issue live today really felt like a dream coming true. So so thankful for all of you!
xx Katie

Visiting with Andy and Kate Spade in their home would also have been a highlight for me! What an amazing experience for you! I’ve heard such good things about this month’s issue, and you also have featured some of my favorite bloggers! Can’t wait to have a chunk of time to sit down and read the issue cover to cover :)
congratulations! love your november issue!!!
So happy for you Katie! I feel exactly the same way about the Spades and I can imagine what a thrill it was being with them in that amazing apartment. They seem so relatable–love that Kate was barefoot as I am always barefoot at home and what she said about learning things through her daughter. I am often amazed at what my daughters share with me from their lessons at school and love experiencing life through them. A top notch couple for sure. Thank you for such a great publication, I look forward to it every month. xo
You just lived one of my dreams! You need to call me and spill. xo

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I adore Kate Spade. Gosh, I started collecting Kate Spade bags ages ago, and would literally spend my last dime on some new fabulous confection of hers. Wonderful blog.
Thank you for all your kind words! Neo-trads are the original Matchbook girls ;) Best. Readers. Ever. xoxoxoxo
I got a few goosebumps reading your post. What an accomplishment to have reached a personal moment that is a landmark to what you have built. I’ll be heading over to Matchbook to read the interview. Good work!
