While my spring shopping list is rife with the usual bikinis, cover-ups and cut off shorts, there’s one item that seems to be the official must-have accessory of the season. Before now, sneakers were stigmatized as ugly, utilitarian footwear, but the sartorial scene is suddenly singing a different tune! I’ve got my eyes on more […]
Can you guys believe that there’s only a week left in January? It feels like the first month of 2014 completely flew by, and I would guess that somewhere around this time is when the enthusiasm for our New Years resolutions begins to slowly fizzle out. In an effort to keep the fire burning and […]
I’ve been known to host the occasional blow-out at my place, and since I don’t have nearly enough glassware to accommodate 30+ guests (nor the time to make runs to the rental company!), I frequently opt to use single-use recyclable cups. Typically I love the clean look of regular clear plastic ware, but when I […]
Even if you’re not a Broncos or Seahawks fan, chances are you’re not going to let The Super Bowl pass you by without celebrating the big game. I’m a fan of just about any excuse to get together and party with friends, so you can bet that come next Sunday, I’ll be eyes-glued to a […]
We all love a gorgeous, well-designed space — a home where every detail is thoughtful, intentional and purposeful, and not a single item appears to be out of place. But then there’s the opposite — you know, those spaces that look effortlessly unpredictable and anything but “designed”. In those homes, great style appears to have […]
Today’s installment of Tuesday Tastings is brought to us by the fabulous Liz McAvoy — foodie, fashion lover and author of What Dress Code?. Since we’re all about healthy eating and fresh starts this month, we knew we could turn to the lifelong pescatarian for a resolution-friendly recipe that’s also hearty and delicious. From Liz: Risotto […]
If you ask me, trimming 40 years worth of Golden Globe gowns down to my favorite 10 borders along impossible (I could have chosen at least five just from last night!)… but since the kick-off of award season has me feeling fired up, I thought I’d take on the challenge. Nothing brings me more joy than watching […]
As I type away at my slightly-too-high dining table, with spindles from my wooden dining chair digging into my back, I’m thinking that today’s round up might just be the most envy-inducing one yet. If you’re not up to speed, our team is currently counting down to the day we move into our new office […]
If you’ve caught our monthly Little Things column, odds are you already know that Carrie Ryan is both a thoughtful and creative mother, and a killer photographer. The lady-behind-the-lens at Sweet Louise Photography has been a part of our team since last June, and I swear, every time I see her I love her more […]
Today I’m thankful that I made it through putting this slideshow together without heading out to the nearest grocery store for a giant ready-made turkey. I’m not the biggest meat-lover, but combing through the internet in search of these recipes quickly had my mouth watering at the thought of next week’s smorgasbord. How are you […]
How do we love tacos? Let us count the ways… but then again, it’s virtually impossible to quantify. With Cinco de Mayo just two days away, we thought we’d dust off our recipe collection for some of our all time favorites. If you’re entertaining this Sunday (or any time this summer), we love the idea […]
When it comes to giving gifts, no matter the occasion, I have one cardinal rule: when in doubt, give a coffee table book. They’re made to interest all walks of life, can last a lifetime, and most of them fall just in the right price range. Plus, when can you ever have too many? If […]
Has anyone had the pleasure of enjoying a leisurely, sun-soaked outdoor meal yet? I have to admit, though there are countless things I love about spring, I most look forward to relaxed backyard meals and opting for “outdoor” instead of “in” at the hostess podium. The weather is a bit murky today, but I’m still […]
What do you do when you find yourself craving a major upgrade in your living space? Ever since coming across this amazing floral mosaic wall on Pinterest, I’ve been obsessing over the idea of having an eye catching wall that boasts more than just a solid bold color, but an intricate pattern and texture too.
