Preppy, glam, casual, sporty, rustic… classic American style is hard to put your finger on. It’s ever-changing, yet somehow the spirit of it remains the same throughout the decades. Looking back, names like Newman, Hutton and Kennedy come to mind. We had fun this week in the office arguing (ahem, discussing) what the term “All-American […]
First off, full disclaimer: I love weddings. I’m just that type of girl. (I may or may not be the type of girl who has a secret stash of Martha Weddings dating back to the late nineties… but I’ll leave you to ponder that.) But as much as I’ve adored being included in so many […]
I’ll never forget meeting Katie Turpin for the first time at Camille’s San Antonio book signing — it was a cold winter’s night and she stood out (in a sea of fur coats and flat ironed hair) for having that seriously perfect I’m-not-trying-too-hard natural beauty. We struck up a conversation that was adorably interrupted by […]
This summer marks the first time I’m thinking about taking the reigns and hosting a baby shower for some friends — I typically play a supporting role in such events. But this particular couple is so dear to me that I couldn’t be much more excited about their new addition if it were my own. […]
With an office full of individualistic women, our tv tastes don’t always align (Chanel loves VEEP, Camille never misses Nashville, and I remain firmly opposed to The Bachelor). But lately every Monday morning we can’t wait to discuss the one show we all watch and love — HBO’s Game of Thrones. We’re gearing up for the […]
It’s easy to lose half a day before you know it browsing the Loom Decor website — with their incredible inventory of fabrics, the design options are seemingly endless with Loom. And the best part is that every Loom product is completely customizable, so you can pick any pillow or linen from the site and […]
Bathroom envy is a real thing, people, and if you don’t believe me just take a look at Gabriela Perezutti Hearst’s marble tub on instagram. While I generally prefer a certain level of modesty when it comes to interiors, I’m absolutely and totally cool with over-the-top bathrooms. It’s the one room in the house that’s […]
Okay, we’ll admit that this image of Jon Hamm is really more of a gift to ourselves. But we are totally channeling Don in this year’s roundup of dad’s day gift ideas! (Or maybe even a young President Kennedy, relaxing in Hyannis Port… ) We’ve scoured the web for fifteen gifts that say all the […]
When photographer Buff Strickland and I approached Commander’s Palace, we were greeted by two vivacious ladies in black pants and pink tops. Lally Brennan and “Ti” Adelaide Martin were the definition of New Orleans charm — impeccably put-together and disarmingly friendly. “Do you know what Ti means?” asked Lally with a devious smile. “That’s short […]
We went behind the scenes at Commander’s Palace to get this exclusive recipe from Executive Chef Tory McPhail. The cherished New Orleans restaurant is known for it’s “Haute Creole” cuisine — a fresh and daring take on classic Louisiana food. This bold dish combines spicy steak and pickled vegetables with crispy sweet potato chips for […]
photographed by buff strickland We have to admit — as much as we’d like to claim scouting credit — that artist Miranda Lake fell into our lap by some sort of strange magic. We’d just been discussing reader comments in a meeting and lamenting that you (our lovely readers) were ready to see something different […]
photographed by belathée • shot on location at the virgil in los angeles To be alone onstage with nothing but a microphone, quick wit, and cool set of nerves as your weapons… I can’t think of anything more terrifying. But for stand up comic, filmmaker, and actress Ashley Barnhill, there’s nothing more exhilarating. The up-and-coming […]
Attention long haired ladies: do you ever find yourself eying that girl with the chic pixie cut and thinking “I wish I was that cool.” Over the years I’ve realized that truly nothing brings a cool factor to an outfit more than daring hair. For those of us who are attached to our length this […]
Is there anything more fun to fantasize about than second homes? We think not. Most of us will be lucky to pay off one home in our lifetime, but it’s always fun to dream. The good news is that with small boutique hotels and services like Air BnB, you can now actually live the fantasy […]
With swimsuit season upon us, we’re hitting the gym more than ever in the month of May. And when it comes to a great barre class, one of the hardest parts (other than simply showing up) is figuring out how to still make that 8pm dinner date looking put together and fresh. So we asked […]
Here’s a real fashion secret: if you don’t have enough cash for a new dress this month, create a fresh look with your hair or makeup. We consulted with makeup artist Avery Allen at Sabia Salon to learn how to create a glamorous nighttime eye that would look great with our favorite old L.B.D. “For […]

photographed by Kate Zimmerman for Garden & Gun shot on location at the Texas Alpha Pi Beta Phi House We’ve never been to Churchill Downs, but we’re pretty sure that derby watching parties are neck-and-neck with the real thing when it comes to fun. This year we partnered with our friends at Garden & Gun to […]
Your inside guide to the hippest small town in Texas.
Can we all agree that one of the hardest parts of being a modern woman (that guys just don’t appreciate at all) is how much hidden time and effort goes in to maintaining long hair? We need our blowouts to last — at least for a couple of days. And while we love a good […]
