Twisted Ponytail Updo

We first spotted this look on the runways when the Spring 16 collections were showing during NYFW. Ever since, we’ve been dying to try out this twisted pony for ourselves. Only one problem: we had no idea how to do it. Fortunately for us we knew exactly who to consult, our sweet friend (and senior […]

Liberty London Girl’s Chicken Pie

“Making a large pie can seem daunting, but wonderfully, it’s actually rather simple, requiring nothing more complicated than a standard roasting pan,” says Sasha Wilkins of Liberty London Girl. She shared this recipe from her newest book Friends Food Family: Essential Recipes, Tips, and Secrets for the Modern Hostess with us during her US book […]

Liberty London Girl

If you’re scrambling to get your act together for this week’s big holiday meal, just imagine this: what if you were hosting that meal in a remote location? And no, we’re not talking the park down the street. We’re talking another continent. That’s just what Sasha Wilkins did last week, as she planned and hosted […]

Forage + Fodder

After Camille met Danielle Locklear at a friend’s baby shower a few months back, she couldn’t stop talking about her. “She’s just the nicest person I’ve ever met,” Camille gushed about the blogger behind Forage + Fodder. Danielle and her husband Austin (along with their adorable daughter, Ruby) totally live up to the hype when […]

Maple Old Fashioned

Danielle and Austin Locklear of Forage + Fodder created this wintery bourbon-based beverage to serve their friends at a special holiday lunch. With clove-garnished orange peels, this is the perfect cheery cocktail for the holidays. See the full party where Austin and Danielle served Maple Old Fashioneds here. photographed by jessica attie

Winter Burrata Salad

“In my opinion, the best salads don’t need complex dressings because the ingredients themselves offer a perfect harmony of flavors,” says Danielle Locklear of Forage + Fodder. “This salad is all about the presentation, so it’s best served family style.” See the full holiday party where Danielle and her husband Austin served this gorgeous wintery […]

16 Glittery, Glamorous, Fun Dresses for New Year’s Eve

It seems like every December we overhear some grumpy chatter about New Year’s Eve being the most overrated holiday of the year. But we’ve always known exactly what this holiday is — an excuse to wear head to toe sequins, regardless of social setting. Our advice? Worry less about finding something impressive to do and […]

Design Your Own Textile Gifts

There’s nothing quite like a homemade gift for Christmas (perhaps now more than ever, with a seemingly endless array of consumer options.) Our favorites include food, poetry, and of course any type of handmade art. This year we partnered with our friends at Shutterfly to create a fun set of botanical gifts all printed with […]

How to Change Your Entire Look Just By Moving Your Part

Do you part your hair the same way day after day? Most of us do, and when we’re considering a new look we often find ourselves thinking about making a change in length or color. At Roar Salon, senior stylist Erica Rae reminds clients that moving their part (even just an inch or two) can […]

Anna and Rhoda

If there’s one thing we admire, it’s ladies who manage to be wonderful mothers, stylish individuals, and passionate entrepreneurs all at the same time. They’re a little bit like unicorns — we need to believe in them even if we’ve never seen one.  This month’s pair of Besties are the real thing, and (if that’s […]

5 Ways to Create a Gorgeous Fall Buffet

When it comes to entertaining and decorating, Charity Buchika’s advice is every bit as refreshing and down-home as her designs: “Keep it simple,” says the owner of Teaselwood Designs. The interiors and product designer is based in beautiful upstate New York, in the charming lakeside village of Skaneateles. It’s here that she invited us to […]

How to Host a Post Workout Social

Does it ever seem like almost everything we do socially works against fitness? After so many book club meetings, happy hours, and dinners our team decided it was high time we mixed two of our favorite things: appetizers and endorphins. We got our blood flowing on the trail, then headed over to Outdoor Voices to […]

Boho Side Braid

“I love to scout looks from catalogs and one of my go-to sources is always Free People,” says Senior Stylist Erica Rae of Roar Salon. That’s where she spotted a fun side-bride look she wanted to recreate with model Rebecca Gaddis in this week’s beauty tutorial. The certified beach babe (and owner of the online […]

Velvet Crush

There’s an old saying that if you were old enough to participate in a trend the first time around, you shouldn’t wear it when it comes back. By that adage, I probably shouldn’t indulge in a burgundy velvet bodysuit this fall… That said, rules were made to be broken and I’m crushing HARD on velvet […]

10 Best Home Libraries

Of all the rooms in my future dream house, the library is the one I think about most. Would it have a mix of paperbacks and hardback editions? Or would it be completely leather bound classics? Would I arrange them by genre, then author? Would there be room for a projector, and maybe a velvet […]

Fashion Designer

How do you know when you’ve finally “made it” in the notoriously tough world of fashion? Maybe it’s when you’re awarded one of the ten coveted spots in the CFDA’s Incubator Program. Or maybe it’s when Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Kaia Gerber, is rocking one of your designs in the September issue of Vogue. Or maybe, […]

Lavender Fields Cocktail

Most people think of lavender as a summertime ingredient, but once it’s been dried it can be a wonderfully subtle drink garnish in the fall. Dried florals in general feel like autumn to me, reminiscent of wreaths and golden fields. This year we’ve partnered with Terlato Wines to create a lavender-inspired fall cocktail using their […]

DIY David Bowie Face Paint

If you saw last week’s special on 3 Genius Eye Makeup Tutorials then you know we’re total suckers for makeup-based costumes. Makeup can be so transformative, and (added bonus) gets you out of spending money on an expensive costume. This Ziggy Stardust-inspired look is even better, because you can create it entirely using products you […]

Magician’s Assistant

In our ever-changing city, few establishments (no matter how great) are truly able to span decades. Maybe it’s because Austin’s nightlife is a bit nebulous and always on the move. People go from one hotspot to the next, one style of music to a newer one, one part of town to the hipper, grungier one. […]
