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

Transformed :: Take a Seat
Claire here, and if the warm weather is inspiring you to get outdoors and be creative, this cheery DIY project is for you.

Monochromatic Monday :: Rosemary & Cream
Leading up to today’s style board, I was feeling a little short on inspiration. That is, until I came across that top-left photo of brown butter and rosemary popcorn on covet garden.

My Life, Styled :: Pattern Play
Adding depth and texture to your outfits during the winter is easy: layer scarves on top of jackets on top of knits on top of tees and so forth. But in the heat of summer when temperatures are nearing triple digits, our layering abilities are seriously impaired, which is why I (Jen) love to use… read more
