Vegan Orange Gingerbread Cookies
Cookie decorating has always been one of my favorite holiday traditions. When I was a kid, my mom would throw Christmas cookie decorating parties every December.

A Professional Organizer’s Guide to Staying Stress-Free During the Holidays
Editor’s note: Last year, Amy Vance of Eco Modern Concierge joined us to share her holiday gift-giving organizational tips.

Healthy Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Let me start by saying that ice cream and iced coffee are two of my favorite things on the planet. So winter’s arrival always leaves me in a bit of a predicament: do I abandon icy treats until warmer temps arrive? It just doesn’t seem right. I know, I know, there’s nothing quite like strolling down the sidewalk during the […]
A Swanky Cocktail Party to Toast the New Year
It feels like a new hot spot opens in Austin every weekend (because it does), and our list of must-try restaurants is starting to get a bit out of control. After checking out Eberly’s bar for Landrie’s birthday bash last month, we were smitten, and couldn’t wait to get back to try their contemporary American cuisine in that stunning midcentury dining room. For our most recent girls’ […]
This Surprising Ingredient will Reinvent Your Cheese Board
If you asked Instagram, 2016 could have been the year of the cheese board. And is it any surprise? Few culinary creations are as photogenic as a big wood cutting board brimming with colorful cheeses, fruits, meats (and lots more if you get creative), and I’ve got to admit, it’s a trend I don’t think I’ll get […]

Chanel’s Pre-Wedding Picnic at a French Chateau
photography by Sarah Falugo; planned by Mon Plus Beau Jour I’ve been looking forward to the holiday season as much as the next girl, don’t get me wrong, but if you asked me what’s really given me butterflies over the last month, it’d have to be my anticipation of this very moment. Finally, this week, Eric and I get […]

Our good friend Daphne Oz whipped up a […]

That said, the most elegant hostess gifts don’t have to be the most expensive ones. We’ve […]
10 Easy Ways to Make Your Holiday Cards Stand Out
Last week, we got into a heated conversation about holiday cards (well, it was about as heated as a conversation about holiday cards can be.) It basically came down to each of us in the office being at different life stages — from being married-with-children to fresh in a new relationship — and because of that, […]
How to Host a Fondue Party
We’ve all heard of fondue parties — retro gatherings where people dip different foods into melted cheese or chocolate — but why aren’t we all hosting fondue parties?! I’m on a personal mission to bring them back, you guys, and I have to admit, my first attempt was a huge success. I’d been dying to have […]

Get Snowed-In In Style with These 12 Pajama Sets
I’ll never forget winter break 2014. Hanukah had come early that year, and since we don’t celebrate Christmas, we had absolutely nowhere to be between December 23rd and January 5th. It seemed everyone we knew was out of town, we were dog sitting our friends’ adorable frenchie, and between businesses being shut down for the holidays and cold […]
