Weekend Notes
Happy holiday weekend, y’all! Hope yours involves a body of water and either hot dogs, barbecue, or a lobster roll, depending on where you are and your proclivities. For our annual Fourth of July bash tomorrow, Adam’s making his “smash” sliders on the grill (his own technique that involves a cast iron skillet and a spatula), […]
Instagram Stars Share Their Secrets to An Amazing Feed
Some people seem to have the magic touch when it comes to Instagram: whatever they post is met with likes galore, and they make creating and curating their feed look effortless and fun. The secret, however, is that a huge amount of hard work and strategy is behind the most successful accounts, and we live in […]
Tropical Almond Smoothie
You guys, my smoothie obsession may have just gone to a new level. With the addition of alcohol. Usually when I have friends over for brunch, I fall back on the old beverage standby’s: coffee and mimosas. As delicious as they both are, I’ve been wanting to shake things up a bit, but I always thought […]
Are You On the List?
We’re putting the finishing touches on the newsletter and it’s fun to look back on what an eventful June it’s been (and get excited about all that’s on the horizon in July!) Have you guys subscribed? It’s an occasional (promise) check-in with what’s going on behind-the-scenes around here, what I’m cooking, reading, listening to, and […]
Weekend Notes
Happy weekend, friends! About this time in June every year, I always look at the calendar and realize that July is almost upon us — and that if I don’t start squeezing every last bit of fun out of these summer days, the season will be gone before I know it! That’s pretty much summed up this […]

Snapshots from Food & Wine Classic in Aspen
Last weekend we went to Aspen for the Food & Wine Classic, and though I say it every year (this was my third at the Classic), 2016 was the most fun ever. From the welcome party (I hugged Jacques Pépin!) to the inspiring demos (Marcus Samuelsson was my fave) almost every day held bucket list moments, […]
Peach & Blueberry Crumble with Gingersnap Crust
Summertime is made for crumbles. And crisps and cobblers and buckles. Thought I’m a little fuzzy on the exact distinctions, I know that I’d happily eat any of them on a warm summer night with a scoop of ice cream. Also, for breakfast. The only problem with peach season is that I can’t control myself […]
How to Picnic Like an Event Planner
There are few things I love more than gathering friends for lunch al fresco in the summertime — even a simple spread of cheese and crackers feels elevated when it’s on a pretty picnic blanket spread out in the grass. Here to show us how to make our picnics Instagram-worthy on the fly is Charleston-based event planner Calder Clark, who […]
How to Look Good Without Makeup
I’m always in awe (and a little skeptical) of the models and actresses who claim to “wear no makeup” when they’re off-duty and still manage to look glowing and gorgeous. I don’t even have to worry about paparazzi shots, and you’ll still rarely catch me without at least a touch of concealer and a coat of […]
This Grain Bowl Will Save Your Lunch Hour
Would you agree that lunch is the meal where it’s easiest to get stuck in a rut? Most days I toss together a quick salad with some protein, or just mash up a sweet potato — but lately I’ve been taking just a little extra time to make a grain bowl (mostly with leftovers from the […]
Kristin’s Fearless + Fun Home
Today’s home tour is every bit as colorful and energetic as its vivacious owner, Kristin Gish, co-owner of SUPPLY, Austin-based tastemaker, and all-around social butterfly. The first time I set foot in Kristin’s home was at the baby shower of my friend Kim (also Kristin’s business partner), and I was immediately floored by her unabashed […]
Why A Salad Is the Best Way to Start Your Day
Would you guys eat salad for breakfast? I have to admit that it’s something I would never have considered a couple years ago, but as I’ve gotten more into savory breakfasts (and started filling my smoothies with loads of spinach), suddenly the idea doesn’t seem so crazy. And there’s no doubt that starting things off […]
13 Must-Have White Dresses Just In Time For Summer
There are few articles of clothing that channel the breezy attitude of summer quite like a white dress. Whether clean and classic or short and sexy, to me its the ultimate symbol of la dolce vita. I usually add one to my wardrobe each year, and nothing pairs better with sun kissed skin, a loose bun and a […]
Weekend Notes
Morning, y’all! It’s a gorgeous weekend around here — Austin is in its full summer glory and we’re soaking it up in the pool with nowhere we need to be and no idea what time it is. For me, the freedom of not being on a schedule is the best part of the weekend — conversations can linger […]
20 Great Watermelon Recipes to Try Now
There’s nothing that channels those summery vibes quite like biting into a fresh watermelon wedge (I take mine with salt) and feeling the juice stream down your sun-kissed arms. Since I’m starting to see a few really ripe ones pop up at the grocery here, I’ve been plotting all the different ways I’m planning to use […]
How We Really Feel About Each Other
The best part of my job is the people I get to work with each day. Our office is constantly filled with the laughter, inspiration, and supportive words of some of the smartest women I know. As our team grows, I thought it would be fun to give y’all a peek behind the curtain to get […]
The Cutest Kids’ Chore Chart
One of the biggest challenges in parenting a preschool-aged kid is teaching responsibility — without constantly nagging. Now that Phoebe’s almost four, we’ve decided that she’s ready to take on a few simple chores to learn the importance of pitching in and contributing to the family — plus, it’ll help me out since sometimes I […]
9 Quotes to Help You Stop Comparing Yourself to Others
They say that comparison is the thief of all joy, and there’s no question that the hours we spend measuring our own life against that of others is time that would be better spent being grateful for what we do have, or even working to achieve the goals we’ve set for ourselves. Of course, some level […]
Weekend Notes
Thank goodness for a short workweek after coming back from Mexico last Tuesday night… it’s so hard to transition from paradise back into the real life, isn’t it? Adam and I spent three blissful days at the One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, and literally did nothing but take long beach walks, lay by the pool […]
The Best DIY Summer Coffee: Iced Caramel Latté
Along with pool parties, fresh watermelon, and sundresses, one of my favorite parts of summer is the iced coffee I treat myself to on most afternoons. Since I really never drink iced coffee in the winter, it feels like an indulgence — and helps me power through work days when I’d rather be poolside than […]

Dinner in the South of France
Around this time two years ago, Adam and I took a trip to the South of France to celebrate my 30th birthday and our 5th wedding anniversary, two milestones that fell within the same week of each other. It was definitely one of those bucket list trips — we fell in love with the beaches, the effortlessly […]
