What’s New for April :: The Great Outdoors

It’s been a long winter…as the sun is starting to shine a bit brighter and the temperatures rise higher, we can’t help but open all the windows and joyfully let the light in! This month, we are saying bring on the Vitamin D and stepping outside to soak up the sun. We will share unique […]

Double Take :: Swedish Hasbeen Boots

I can still remember begging my mom to buy me a pair of Doc Martens in middle school. It seemed like all the rebel girls made their plaid school uniforms look so much cooler just by slipping on a pair of the signature black lace-up boots. I particularly love Swedish Hasbeen’s take on the combat […]

Pretty Simple :: Nailed Down

Nail artist Meghann Rosales of the uber popular Nails Y’all first fell in love with the art form when she was teaching high school history in the South Bronx. “My students had some amazing nails! The girls would come to class with fresh sets that blew my mind. That was the first time nail art […]

Love + Work :: Cobra Rock Boot Company

A cowboy and a Canadian fall in love after meeting at a concert on a courthouse lawn in West Texas. Logan remembers the day — “I was spending the summer in Lubbock. I said hi to him, and he was so friendly when he responded that we got to talking and I remember thinking, ‘Wow, […]

Styling in the Rain

I could get lost in the crowds of SXSW simply people watching for hours on end. People from around the world have arrived in Austin to back-to-back rainy days, and it’s been interesting to see how festival goers and locals alike are handling it from a style perspective. We assembled a group of our favorite […]

10 Best Cocktails in Austin

The business of food…and cocktails in Austin has become just as serious as the music scene we have long been known for. The city has much more to offer than tasty tacos and a couple of Lonestars (although those will always have a reverent place in the Live Music Capital). We have assembled a guide […]

Office Style :: The Girls of SXSW

For the first post in our new series on “Office Style,” we didn’t have to look far for inspiration…just a few blocks away actually. We headed to the SXSW Headquarters in Central Austin (across the street from Whole Foods’ corporate offices, making this quite possibly the coolest creative intersection in Austin) to catch up with […]

Real Weddings on Loverly

I got married almost 10 years ago, and there have been many times over the years when I wished I could give a friend who wasn’t there a visual to better describe what is was like, or if I could have a few quiet moments to relive the day without finding and bringing out my […]

At just age 27, Miller Mobley has risen to the top of the ultra competitive photography industry to become one of the most sought after shooters in the business, traveling the world shooting A-list celebrities on assignment for the likes of TIME, Entertainment Weekly and the Hollywood Reporter, to name a few. He’s done it […]

Radical Ranges

I dream about kitchens…we are just starting the process of building a house, so my late night wanderings through Pinterest or my favorite design blogs (like Bungalow Classic) often result in REM tours through imaginary rooms that haven’t been designed yet. I love when stoves are used as a design focal point in kitchens, especially as […]

Puppy Love

Over a recent lunch at the Josephine House, my dear friend Jackie Rangel, the content manager for C3 Presents’ multiple festival brands, was lamenting the fact she never got around to sending a glammed up New Years card featuring festive Polaroid photos of she and her beloved dog Franklin together. As she described the concept, I knew […]

Double Take :: The Chambray Shirt

In my work as a stylist, I am always trying to come up with new ways to wear classic pieces. So, we are launching a new column to explore just that. We have deemed it Double Take, and each month, we will ask two people with totally different approaches to dressing to share how they […]

Olympic Style Through the Years

Olympic Opening Ceremony ensembles have humble beginnings as stepped up takes on simple activewear, and then…Ralph, Giorgio, and Stella got involved turning the OC and the athletes’ gear around their sports into much anticipated fashion events.

Picking out the perfect gift for the favorite fella in your life can be a daunting task—it has to be unexpected, and I don’t know about you, but when it comes to buying for my hubby, there always has to be a practical factor too. We scoured our favorite shops to assemble a lineup of […]

10 Best DIY Valentines

Valentine’s Day never fails to make me think of my Uncle Tommy. As an always smiling fourth grader, he marched in to his classroom on February 14 and boldly handed my now Aunt Rose his entire box of cards…the ones that were meant for the whole class. Theirs is a story with a sweet beginning and […]
