When the owners of one of Austin’s favorite local watering holes invited us over for an exclusive holiday cocktail making class, we immediately jumped at the opportunity. Located just a few blocks from home, Drink.Well has become a personal favorite bar + restaurant of mine… but after our team spent a few hours in a […]
I just can’t shake off that Christmas spirit. As soon as December 1st arrived, the kids opened their chocolate Advent calendar and I started unpacking the Christmas ornaments stored in the attic.

For our second installment of the holiday gift guide series, we’re thrilled to feature Brooklyn-based designer/illustrator Mary Matson.

Whew. What a week. It seems like I was just savoring the Thanksgiving holiday, then 2 photo shoots, 15 blog posts and a zillion emails later… hello, weekend. But before I become one of those people who constantly talk (brag?) about how busy they are… happy December! Are y’all feeling full of the holiday spirit yet? […]
I spent some time making my list and checking it twice on kate spade new york’s site this year… and you can find all my picks in their perfectly-curated holiday gift guide!

Our 12 Tastes of Christmas series has become an annual tradition here on the blog, when some of the most talented and inspiring food people on the planet stop by to share their holiday favorites in the weeks leading up to the 25th.

Can anyone else feel the change in the air? There’s no doubt about it… Christmas is just around the corner! Even though it’s not quite December 1st and the temps here in Texas are a bit summery for the season, I’ve been dusting off my decorations and blasting Christmas music, anticipating the merriment of the […]
Claire here – and is anyone else already feeling caught up in the bustle of balancing work and holiday fun, and fretting a bit over finding the perfect presents for family and friends?

‘Tis the season for holiday parties to begin… I don’t know about you but I (Jeanine) am still pretty darn full from Thanksgiving. So today I thought I’d offer up a healthy holiday appetizer idea.
