Is there ever a time of year when you’re not planning your next trip? I find it inspiring how much our culture has embraced travel in recent years, finally following the lead of our friends across the pond in realizing how much it can truly enrich life. And with design-forward boutique hotels taking the place of […]

featured image by Johnny Miller via Martha Stewart You guys have already heard me kvetch about the lack of beautifully designed judaica, which is why when I discovered Jewish Food Hero — specifically this beautiful letterpress calendar — I nearly did a backflip. A deeper dive into all that founder Kenden Alfond has created revealed […]
Sufganiyot are iconic for Chanukah. Kenden from Jewish Food Hero wanted to make a version that’s better for you than the traditional deep-fried ones. These easy baked doughnuts avoid all the traditional mess of deep-frying, but are just as delicious. Glistening with strawberry glaze, these doughnuts will delight you and your guests. For more simple […]
‘Cause you shouldn’t have to choose.
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 […]
No blown glass here, folks.

One of the best things about our new office is its proximity to so many great fitness studios. From barre, to spin, to the Hike & Bike Trail, we each have our favorite place to tuck away for a mid-day workout. The only problem? Returning to the office sweaty… especially since you never know when you’ll […]
We went from scary to fancy.
I’m just going to say it: puffy coats and Uggs are always in style. Did we just lose half our readers? Maybe. For those of you who stuck around, you may be asking, “What’s fashionable about looking like a marshmallow?” And to that I say: Being warm and comfy is always fashionable in my book. […]
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 […]
