This weekend marked the first few days that have actually felt like summer to me, and thanks to temperatures in the mid-nineties, I’ve got a mild sunburn to prove it. People gripe about the heat in Texas, but as a native I have to say that I relish every moment of blazing sun (crazy, I know). My… read more

Monochromatic Monday :: Spring Fling
I’ll admit — I’ve been holding on to that fabulous picture of Olivia Palermo since it was first published back in February! No palette is as definitively “spring” to me as pink and green. It’s the look of tennis courts, Masters jackets, freshly cut lawns, and graduation bouquets. (Did I mention preppy?) For interiors right… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Mayo Mexicano
The first whispers of summer made themselves heard this weekend in Austin – I actually donned a bikini and caught up on magazines by the pool yesterday while Adam worked in the yard and Phoebe napped. (heaven.) The balmy weather arrives just in time to heat things up for Cinco de Mayo this weekend, and… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Denim Daze
If you’ve been paying even the slightest bit of attention to the latest in fashion, you’ve probably noticed that denim is back, baby, and in a major way. In fact, as I type, I’m wearing denim cutoffs paired with a classic Levi’s jacket that I borrowed from Jenn (which I’m afraid she’ll have to tear from… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Sweet Citrus
Last weekend Camille and I discovered the best lemonade we’d ever tasted: all natural, hand-crafted Lala’s Lemonade made right here in Austin! We sampled the lavender-infused variety, and I have to admit that ever since that first cold glass I’ve had citrus on the brain. Lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit — a citrus palette always… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Connect the Dots
Isn’t it funny how one season, a certain look can hold zero appeal…then the next it suddenly feels so right? (I can remember thinking that I’d never be caught dead in skinny jeans – ha!) Chanel and I were recently discussing how we once thought we’d never wear polka dots, and now they seem to be, quite… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Spring in the Garden
Can you all believe Easter is this weekend? It feels like this month’s just flown by, but if you’ve been reading you know that we’re more than ready for spring! Last Friday we featured 10 of our favorite spring-inspired table settings, and ever since, I’ve been consumed with sunny, outdoor entertaining… so what better way… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Bold Blooms
As a pattern-loving child of the eighties and a Southern girl named after my great-grandmother, Rose, I think it’s safe to say that florals are in my DNA. I insisted on clinging to my Laura Ashley “Bramble” bedding all the way through college (and trust me when I say, that was not cool at the… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Sunny Side Up
It’s the day after the first SXSW weekend, and I doubt I’m the only one who woke up craving eggs benedict followed by a long workout to sweat out all those margaritas. My panel on creating video for the web was yesterday morning – thanks so much to all of you who came out for… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: I ♥ Austin
It’s supposed to hit 80+ degrees today (don’t hate, East Coasters) and it’s days like this when I’m reminded yet again how much I love living in Austin. I’m planning to close the computer early, pull on my favorite cutoffs and take Phoebe to a park somewhere so she can try out a swing set… read more
