Chances are you had its poster on your bedroom wall as a kid. The Ferrari F40 is arguably the most iconic car of all time. It was the final car personally approved by Enzo Ferrari before his death in 1988 and was one of the first cars to bring Formula 1 technologies to the road. With a minimalist interior surrounding Ferrari’s iconic metal gated shifter, the F40 harkens back to a simpler time. Renowned by collectors now more than ever, values have in- creased over 420 percent in the past decade alone. As a 1992 model year, this car is one of only 60 made that year for the U.S. mar- ket. With only 9,500 miles on the odometer, this Ferrari Classiche certified example is currently being offered by Ferrari Lake Forest. Is it finally time to put your poster car in your garage?

Matouk’s new pajama collection makes getting ready for bed just as great as getting into bed, taking all the comfort and exquisite quality of the brand’s sheeting to create the ultimate nightwear. Beautifully tailored, these pajamas are just as chic outside the house as they are in the bedroom. The Luca pajamas are crafted from Matouk’s dreamy Luca cotton percale in a range of vibrant Schumacher prints—pairing the luxury of Matouk sheeting with the comfort of your favorite lived-in dress shirt. The Nocturne pajamas bring the signature smooth luster of Matouk’s Nocturne sateen sheeting to lightly tailored leisurewear. Lightly tailored for a chic relaxed fit, the Milano pajamas are made from Matouk’s cool crisp Milano cotton percale. Wonderfully versatile, wear them to relax in style at home or dress them up for days and nights out. matouk.com
SteamLine Luggage is a swoon-worthy retro chic brand of luggage that offers travelers the glamour of a full set of suitcases being rolled by a uniformed bellman down the swanky halls of the Plaza Athene, while still offering the Modern wheels and thoughtful interior pockets that today’s adventurers demand. We adore The Entrepreneur collection, with pieces ranging from a check-in size spinner down to a mini vanity case that doubles as a dinner bag. There is even a kids carryon for the young set—and the Instagram posts. steamlineluggage.com.
For the ultimate European summer, fill your bag with a little something in We Versace’s newest print, Barocco Sea. This bold graphic continues the design houses’ rich heritage of prints inspired by natural wonders of the sea, as intrinsic to the House as its inspirations from Classical art and mythology. The print is inspired by two iconic Versace prints, the Trésor de la Mer and its coral, shells and starfish, and the ornate flourishes of the signature Barocco. Go for an item, a set, or a whole wardrobe as Barroco Sea is available in women’s and men’s shirts and matching shorts, summer knit cardigans, a full selection of dresses, gathered jersey skirts, and more. Bonus points for anyone who sets their summer table with Versace La Mer dinnerware. Anything from this gorgeous grouping will complement it perfectly and cement your status as the ultimate hostess. Versace Chicago, 933 North Rush Street, 312.445.9750, versace.com.
