This one’s for the girls.
Great coffee and even better conversation.
When it comes to gatherings, less is more.
It’s easier than you think.
The perfect playlist and all the recipes for those Joshua Tree vibes.
All the clichés are true.
Time to dig deep.
If you ask me, off-the-shoulder tops never went out of style. Much like wide leg jeans, I’ve always thought the cut to be ultra stylish and flattering, and even though mainstream fashion is just telling us to love them right now, I’ll forever have a place in my heart for the look. Not only does an off-the-shoulder […]
When our brilliant friends from Margot Blair Floral and Mint & Maple joined forces to host a workshop on the Art of Hosting, we begged them to share their secrets here on the blog, too — these are the pros, y’all. Even the best of us can get stressed at the thought of hosting a dinner party, so any inspiration for making […]
Why does the color yellow get such a bad rap? Most of us don’t think we have the right complexion to wear it, and when it comes to designing a table, well, even we’ll admit it’s never the first (or third) hue we turn to. Even in our color-driven Monochromatic Monday series, yellow appears least frequently of all. […]
When Natasha Lawler admitted to us that friends from all over the US fly in to attend her annual Saint Patrick’s Day party, I have to admit that even we were a bit skeptical. We love a blowout as much as the next person, but seriously, who travels across the country for an event that’s […]
Only one week left in February, and even though we have cold and rain on the forecast for the next few days, I’m hopeful that once March 1st rolls around, we’ll have turned the corner to warmer weather. Any other optimists out there? To add to my impatience, I’ve been stumbling upon tons of gorgeous images that instantly fill […]
Hello, dear readers, and happy Monday. I hope that Saint Valentine visited each of you this weekend and left you with a bit of chocolate, poetry, or perhaps a flirty text from the cute guy at the office. Michael and I decided to jet off to Jamaica for a long weekend, and I’ve returned to […]
Anytime out-of-town friends come to Austin, one of the first places I take them is Elizabeth Street Cafe. I know I can’t go wrong with what is arguably the cutest café in town (I mean, have you seen the bright pink and turquoise exterior?!) and treating them to the fresh mango and cucumber salad or a warm bowl of bún accompanied […]
When a friend tipped us off on Sarah Contrucci Smith’s online textile shop, Ara Collective, we couldn’t get over the gorgeous indigo and white pillows, rugs, and bags. And the blue icing on the cake? Sarah’s company is socially responsible, and by that we mean they pay their artisans above fair trade wages to produce beautiful textiles from […]
Now that the holidays are under our belts, it’s officially acceptable to start dreaming of al fresco entertaining with light, fresh flavors and the sun on our shoulders. To celebrate the first hints of spring, we teamed up with our friends at kate spade new york for a fresh and flirty brunch in my garden — thanks […]
When we had our first shoot day with director Eve Tarlo back in January, I couldn’t wait to work on this assignment. While Camille and Chanel were busy in the kitchen, I was in the studio getting my hands dirty with calligraphy ink. My mission: create a dreamy valentines story using three great quotes on […]
How do you guys feel about PDA? I’m not personally one to put it all out there when it comes to my love life, but when I spot another obviously in-love couple who can’t keep their hands to themselves, it’s kind of sweet. Up to a point, of course. Valentine’s Day is the one exception […]
Steal your sweetheart’s heart.
Today’s Valentine’s Day DIY project is a polarizing one. I imagine our readers are split into two camps: those who read the post title and instantly cringe, and those who think, “Aww, perfect for my foodie friends!” As you might guess, I’m part of the latter. When I think of canned sardines and anchovies, my mind is […]
If you’re in a relationship, there can be a bit of pressure on Valentine’s to get everything just right — but crowded restaurants and high prices can make the perfect date night feel unattainable. I think that one of the sweetest and most romantic gestures is a beautiful meal at home for two: nothing communicates love quite […]
