Usually I spend the month of October bemoaning the fact that summer is over, but this year, I am SO pumped for fall. Maybe it’s because I’m dying to wear my new ankle boots, or maybe I’m just over the humidity of late summer in Austin. Whatever the reason, I can’t wait to enjoy evenings by […]

It’s no secret that veggies are having a major moment. Even the most enthusiastic carnivores among us are wising up to the fact that when it comes to brilliant color, fresh flavor and endless variety, vegetables are hard to beat. I’m always shocked when I hear people say that they don’t like vegetables, but after […]
Usually, fall beauty trends are all about smoky eyes, contoured cheekbones, wine-tinged lips (or all of the above.) But this season, the focus is on fresh, glowing skin — a dewiness that comes from being healthy and taking care of yourself from the inside-out, and using makeup to reveal the best version of yourself instead of covering up […]
Do y’all ever have sandwich-for-dinner nights? Sometimes you just can’t beat the ease or comfort food factor of yummy ingredients piled between two toasty slices of bread. On nights like those, you’ll usually find us whipping up this curried chicken and avocado sandwich (with sweet potato fries), inspired by a similar one that Adam ordered […]
Fall is here, and with it comes a natural instinct to cozy up our homes and make them inviting and comfortable… after all, when the weather turns cold we’re going to be spending a lot more time inside! So it seemed like the perfect time to team up with Loloi Rugs to give my living […]
Oh, laundry… can anyone out there say that they truly love doing it? (if so, tell me your secret!) Laundry can be a drag, but since it’s an inevitable part of life — for most of us, multiple times per week — we might as well learn to do it really well. After all, those […]
Hey guys! I’m super excited about a new series we’re launching today called “Seasonal Menus.” It’s, well, exactly what it sounds like: I’ll be sharing the perfect menus for all kinds of occasions with the simple recipes you’ll need to prepare them — some that we’ve posted on the blog before and others that are brand new. To […]
I know, I know… I can’t stop talking about my new addiction to spiralizing (as shown here and here.) And we really only have one person to blame thank: when Ali of Inspiralized sent me one of her genius inspiralizers to try out, it was so simple to use that I started creating noodles out of […]
Happy weekend, friends! I’m headed to NYC today for my first trip out-of-town since Henry was born, and I’m feeling a little sad and also super excited. It’ll be a quick trip – barely more than 48 hours – and a whirlwind of meetings, lunches, and appointments. I can’t wait to breathe in the cooler […]
For many of us, it’s the holy grail of getting fit: finally achieving a tight, toned tummy! Now that I’m 4 months post-baby, most of my body thankfully feels back to normal, but I’ve got to admit that those flat abs that came so easily to me in my twenties haven’t quite reappeared. Since I’ve […]
Hi lovelies — hope you’re having a great Tuesday! I am so excited about a new book that’s being released today, written by my friend Anne Sage. The perfectly named Sage Living: Decorate for the Life You Want invites readers into the most covetable dwellings designed around the dreams of their occupants, from the sunny, open-air kitchen of a holistic […]
Have I mentioned that I finally have a spiralizer in my life? I don’t know why I waited so long (especially since I’ve been pinning zucchini noodle “pastas” for months now) but ever since I added this model to my kitchen gadget collection, I’ve been making noodles out of, well, just about anything that can become a […]
Since Monday morning usually means an inbox that’s bursting at the seams and a to-do list a mile long… what better time to indulge in procrastinating just a little longer? My Paris-based friend Ajiri Aki (remember when we visited her flat here?) just co-wrote a book that’s too good not to share: Where’s Karl is a game, a parody, and […]
One consequence of being in new mama travel lockdown for the past few months since Henry was born? I’ve come down with a serious case of wanderlust. And the greater my itch to travel, the more I find myself trolling Pinterest for new destinations that I want to visit (which isn’t helping my case… but I can’t help […]
The end of summer is always a little bittersweet: hello, cooler temps and pumpkin spiced lattes, goodbye lazy days and afternoons by the pool! This fall I’m determined to hold onto a little bit of summer’s more carefree attitude, and part of that means taking time to indulge in those take me away moments that help us […]
In case you’ve been living under a rock, school is officially in session! And whether you have kids or not, ’tis the season for simple healthy snacks that will give you (and your dependents) the energy to go from work or school to whatever activities the evening may hold. We loved partnering with Patricia’s Table […]
What’s your beauty comfort zone? Most of us have one, whether we realize it or not — the exact makeup combo (or lack thereof) that makes us feel most like ourselves. For me, it’s a defined eye (no such thing as too much mascara for this girl!) with a pinky-nude lip. Though I love a bold […]
This recipe is from our Girls’ Grilling Party… read the full story here!
Gwyneth, Victoria, all three of the Jennifer’s… what do they have in common besides enviable wardrobes and stellar careers? If you guessed “amazing arms,” you’d be darn right, and I’d bet money that those ladies worked hard to get them. For today’s post in our new fitness tutorial series, we asked Marnie O’Donnell, owner of MOD […]
Do you guys go through breakfast “phases” where you tend to crave the same types of food every morning? I totally do — during my pregnancy, it was all about the scrambled eggs with avocado and toast. But (and I’m not sure if it’s due to the hotter weather or my post-baby body goals!) lately […]
I’ve got to admit, one of the most fun parts of having a 3-year-old daughter is that I finally have an excuse to plan parties with incredibly girly themes like “Woodland Fairy.” And now that Phoebe is old enough to have strong opinions of her own, she gets to weigh in with a birthday party wish […]
Are y’all having a good start to the week? If you’re like me, it can be tough to dive back into the workweek after a fun weekend, so I always try to put something a little escapist on the calendar for Monday morning. I’m super excited to roll out a new search feature on the blog today […]
Before I had Henry, I have to admit that I thought girls had all the fun when it came to fashion: could a boy possibly compete with the thrill of picking out sweet dresses and girly accessories for Phoebe? Well, turns out that Henry stole my heart to such a degree that everything is as thrilling as […]
