Despite all of the peplums and pencil skirts, a-line dresses and silky tops in the world, sometimes nothing is better than your favorite jeans and a great t-shirt. I’ve been traveling for jobs a ton lately, and when it comes to packing, I love to choose things that don’t have to be dry cleaned and… read more
Bring It Home :: Choosing Favorites
I (Cristina) was talking with a friend recently about the challenges of choosing a color palette when you’re sharing a space. Whether you’re cohabiting with friends, a significant other or your whole family, it can be quite the feat to design a space that will please everyone. My advice? When in doubt, choose blue. Forty percent… 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
Happy Mother’s Day!
Since Phoebe doesn’t turn one until August, this spring is full of “firsts” for us… it’s crazy to think that last Mother’s Day, she and I looked like this, and this year she is already crawling around and (her newest talent) waving “bye-bye!” It’s really been the most amazing year, and although motherhood does have… read more
Weekend Notes
Saturday, already?! Can’t believe another weeks has come and gone… it was completely action-packed as I worked on photo shoots for my book, submitted a bunch of styling projects we’ve been working on and put the finishing touches on plans for the party I threw with Mark & Graham at my house last night! One… read more
10 Best :: Spring Things for the Kitchen
When it comes to seasonal style, it’s easy to overlook the kitchen, thinking of it only as the functional, practical workhorse of the house. While we’re not suggesting that you, say, change out your countertops every season, a few simple updates can bring the freshness of spring into your most utilized space. We’ve rounded up ten… read more
Bottoms Up :: The Bee’s Knees
I know, I know… so the critics aren’t loving it. But I went ahead and bought my pair of tickets for The Great Gatsby this weekend anyway! Much like Gatsby himself, when Baz Luhrmann invites you to a party, you show up. We may not know exactly what we’re getting ourselves into, but we can… read more
Tastemakers :: Scratch Baking Co.
It helps to know people. When I knew I’d be making an early springtime trip to Portland, Maine, I called my friend Rachel, a true gourmand who spends every summer there. She had a great list of advice and fantastic spots for me to try, including this tantalizing bit: “Scratch Baking Co., across the bridge… read more
The Perfect Bite :: Orange & Almond Biscotti
In my book, there’s only one thing better than coffee… and that’s coffee paired up with its most beloved cookie, the biscotti. As an out-and-proud coffee fiend, this twice-baked orange & almond biscotti has upped the ante in my morning mug meeting. It’s bright with orange zest and extra nutty with almond flour and slivered… read more
Pretty Simple :: Raise an Eyebrow
Ed. note: I realized recently that if I could only apply one article of makeup in the morning, it would be my eyebrow pencil. It instantly makes my features look more defined, and my eyes look more awake, even with a completely bare face. If you usually leave your brows untouched, get ready to be amazed… read more
