Monochromatic Monday :: Anna Karenina

Have you guys seen the trailer for the new Anna Karenina movie, starring Kiera Knightley, that comes out next month? As a sucker for period dramas with gorgeous costumes and illicit love affairs, I’m counting the days… Wouldn’t it be fun to have a pre-movie dinner party before heading to the theater with a group […]

Weekend Notes

Happy weekend! What do all of you have on the agenda today? It’s all about the music here in Austin – ACL Festival is going full force, and we spent the day yesterday braving the crowds and hearing some pretty amazing bands.

DIY Glam Lace Mask

Jenn here, with a simple and fun little DIY created especially for you “I-hate-costumes” types! With Halloween fast-approaching, it’s not too late to put together an outfit you’ll have fun wearing.

10 Best Pretty Pumpkins

Have any of you gotten started crafting some pumpkins yet? We’ve got one baby gourd perched on our front doorstep, but otherwise I’d say I’m a little behind in the fall decor department. I love a good carved pumpkin, but a rather unpleasant experience a few seasons back (as in, rain-meets-carved-pumpkin-while-we’re-out-of-town) left a not so great […]

DIY :: Shoot for the Stars

To be perfectly honest, I was feeling a lot of pressure to come up with a great Halloween costume for this year. After last October’s smash hit, I spent the last few months racking my brain tirelessly in an attempt to come up with an idea that was just as fun and easy to create. I’ve had […]

An Apple a Day

‘Tis the season to sink your teeth into crunchy, ripe apples…and I’ve been cooking, baking and gleaning tons of inspiration from their myriad shapes and colors already this month. Thought I’d put together a roundup of our favorite ways to use apples and a few apple-centric inspiration boards from the last couple of years. I […]

On My Nightstand

I thought that I’d have zero time for reading with a newborn, but as it turns out, having great books loaded onto my iPad has been lifesaving for getting through those middle-of-the-night feedings! Being at home more than usual has also give me the itch to expand my horizons a bit, and reading some things […]

Monochromatic Monday :: Oxblood & Indigo

I’ve always thought of oxblood as kind of vampy (a look that doesn’t really work on me) but this season the dramatic deeper-than-burgundy shade has taken a more sophisticated turn. As designers marched it out on runways and I began to notice it showing up in cocktails and autumnal sweets, oxblood suddenly feels like a […]

Transformed :: Pallet Turned Dog Bed

Claire here, and two weeks ago I asked for your opinions on which dog bed I should make for Monte. Although I was definitely drawn to the bright fun pattern of option 1, I had to remind myself that Monte is rather large and energetic, so I needed to make a bed that could stand […]
