Do you guys have any tree trimming traditions? Since this is our team’s first holiday season in the new studio, we have the opportunity to create a few new traditions of our own, and if today’s story is any indication, I think we’re off to a good start. We partnered with our friends at Pints […]
It’s full-on org porn.
The slip dress, ladies and gentlemen. The fashion gods have spoken, and what was once considered an undergarment is now the must-have item of the season. And hey, we’re not complaining. Nothing is more comfortable than a silky, loose fitting midi, and since the slip dress layers with virtually anything, we have a feeling this […]
We all want to be saving. But sometimes the desire isn’t enough to get us where we want to be financially. And for many of us, when unexpected career changes or life things happen, saving is the first thing to get bumped off the priorities list. But what if saving didn’t have to mean making a […]
In Austin, the term “seven year itch” has a different meaning. You see, with all our beautiful trees and dry weather, the Hill Country is famous for unleashing a tornado of allergens onto its people every spring, and legend has it that Austinites begin to suffer the effects of those allergens after living in the region […]
For me, houses have always been an obsession. It started around 1999, when my family made our big move from my parents’ “starter home,” to their “forever home.” And from that point on, I was often found feverishly scouring listings in the weekend paper, drawing floor plans in my bedroom late at night (such a […]
… that’s not a million dollars.
I can’t take full credit for this recipe — it was inspired by an amazing dish I tried at a neighborhood café here in Austin called Epicerie. But I can say that I’ve devised an interpretation of the restaurant’s salad that truly couldn’t be easier. Got a knife? How about an oven? Great. That’s just about […]
Last month, Camille and I took a whirlwind trip to Charleston. For both of us, it was our first ever visit to South Carolina, and we quickly learned that to uncover Charleston’s history is to be there. Around every corner lies a story, and each block possesses a personality all its own, so much so […]
Charleston is a small town, but still, the options for places to explore and dine can be overwhelming for a first time visitor. My favorite way to get to know a new place? Zero in on one walkable area where you can spend the entire day, saving you the time it takes to dart around […]
Don’t get me wrong, I love matching one-pieces that say “SQUAD” as much as the next girl. But when the time came to plan my BFF’s bachelorette party earlier this year, my co-hosts and I knew there had to be more. After countless brainstorming e-mails and texts back and forth, the three of us had […]
image via lazywoodlane I was born in Houston, and I’ve always maintained a certain level of pride for my state. It’s fun to play up our stereotypes when the rodeo comes to town — that’s when we feel most Texan — and you can bet we love our BBQ, our country music, and our football […]
Of all the controversial trends that have taken over our Pinterest feeds this year — mom jeans, millennial pink, furry everything — there’s one that we’re 100% on board with. Girl power is hot right now, and when every other graphic tee or Instagram post touts a message of female empowerment, we don’t mind in the least. Best […]
in partnership with Blue Diamond Almonds // photos by kristen kilpatrick Let’s get one thing straight: I’ll never turn my back on avocado toast. But every now and then, even the most die-hard avo-toast fan needs to expand her horizons, and given how quickly the green fruit turns brown, everyone’s favorite trendy toast doesn’t exactly make for the best party food. Today’s […]
If you’ve been following along with the #CSBungalow progress, you know that we’re this close to finally being able to call our new studio space home, and we couldn’t be more ready. Because while we’ve loved working out of Camille’s home for the last few years, there are a few things that have been less-than-ideal… namely, the lack […]
There’s nothing I love more than hanging by the pool at my apartment complex. This time of year, we’ll often set up shop out there early in the afternoon and camp out until long after dinner time, enjoying wine, beer, and freshly grilled food for hours. The only issue? Our building, like all public pools, has […]
Editor’s note: A few weeks ago, while walking my dog, I found myself in a confrontational situation that kicked my fight-or-flight response into high gear. The moment I perceived the threat, my sympathetic nervous system began firing off, filling my body with adrenaline, stress, and aggression like I’d never experienced before. I came out of the situation […]
Half-way through Summer ’17, and it’s already going down in my book as one of the best ever. The reason? Because this summer, more than last year and the year before, I’ve found myself spending tons of time on the water. From this unforgettable day at sea with the team to an afternoon on the Mediterranean with family, I’ve […]
Our visit to the cheese farm is live on CS Tuscany! Hands down, my favorite meal of our trip to Tuscany was the one we had at the cheese farm, Corzano e Paterno. It wasn’t the most complicated or most carb-filled, but it had a freshness to it unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. I’m certain […]

This is our spin on a recipe from vana masli estate in northern india. this heavenly retreat (that grows all of it’s own food on site!) opened our eyes to ayurveda, mindufullness, meditation and the traditional, spiritual practice of yoga.

After returning from our trip to Italy earlier this month, we were all bitten by the travel bug, and it seems we’re not the only ones! Sisters Katie and Erin of MIRTH Caftans designed their entire Spring 2017 collection around a recent trip along the coast of India. Their line features some of the chicest […]

It’s unclear why dads are the hardest customers to shop for. Maybe it’s because they have a tendency of getting what they want for themselves. Or maybe it’s because they tend to be (as a group) not expecting of gifts in general. Whatever the case, Father’s Day is an annual consumer crisis and we all […]
