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 :: 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 :: 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 :: And the Oscar Goes To…
Final voting for this year’s Oscars ends tomorrow (this is the first year that members of the Academy can vote online… weird, huh?), and this Sunday I’ll definitely be tuning in to see the winners…as well as the dresses (good and bad), bling and beauty looks. Between you and me, the red carpet is kind… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Dark & Stormy Romance
Three days until the 14th, and this year I’m feeling a Valentine’s palette that’s unmistakably romantic. And since these days I can’t get enough of a dark and moody aesthetic, I thought I’d opt for a look that’s amorous without being typically red and pink. So I turned to this selection of gorgeous images in… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: At First Blush
As a gal who really loves love, it doesn’t take a whole lot of convincing for me to fully embrace the Valentine’s spirit when February rolls around…but any lingering doubts were erased when Chanel sent me the link to this Disney short film last night. It doesn’t take a hopeless romantic to start dreaming of love… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Organic Thanksgiving
I spent some time planning my Thanksgiving table over the weekend, looking through my Pinterest boards and considering my color palette options. I thought about a moody plum & gold option…and played with the idea of pumpkin…but the simple look of kraft paper and organic greens (mixed with a touch of gold) just feels so… read more
Monochromatic Monday :: Haunted Mansion
Though I’m keeping the Halloween revelry somewhat toned down this year, I still get a kick out of having the daylights scared out of me. I have vivid childhood memories of visiting mortifying haunted houses, and The Haunted Mansion and Tower of Terror still remain two of my favorite rides at Disney World to date. So… read more
