My Favorite Austin Beauty Spots
If you haven’t noticed by my constant gushing, I LOVE living in Austin. It’s such a unique mash-up of funky beloved “institutions” that have been around for ages and hip of-the-moment spots that are opening faster than I can keep up with them… and the beauty scene is certainly no exception. I obviously have my little […]
Spring Denim
In college I was obsessed with the movie Almost Famous! Anyone else? My roommates and I even had a theme dress viewing party in our living room where I did my very best to channel my inner Kate Hudson. While my fall/winter style tends to be more east-coast-prep-meets-classic-californian, in the spring and summer it definitely […]
6 Recipes for Beautiful Skin
Whether you’ve been struggling with skin problems for years, or are just trying to get a leg up on aging, there’s no doubt that most of us spend more time (and money!) on our skincare regimens than we care to admit. After my own decade-and-a-half long battle, my complexion finally mellowed out — and the answer wasn’t sitting […]
Multi-Use Makeup
As much as I love beauty products, an extensive product habit poses two problems. First, collecting lots of products is a bit expensive. Second, my arsenal of primping helpers takes up a fairly decent amount of space — both at home, at on the go in my much-too-heavy purse. Thankfully, as much as I love […]
No-Commitment Highlights
Confession: I’m a hair color virgin. It’s not that I’ve never wanted to color my hair: in junior high, I fantasized about Gwen Stefani’s platinum blond, and I’ve had more than one episode of thinking about going really dark and dramatic. But the color I’ve tossed around most consistently through the years is adding streaky golden highlights […]
The Capsule Wardrobe
Earlier this month, I was chatting with my hair stylist and we began talking about the idea of the capsule wardrobe. I’m sure you’ve seen people posting about it as it’s becoming an increasingly popular idea. As soon as I walked in the door, I couldn’t help myself. I promptly put everything in my closet […]
Cassandra and Erin
photographed by belathée Remember that pair back in high school who were somehow on the yearbook staff, honor roll, and varsity team all at once? Well, they’re probably rocking pretty great jobs by now. They might be human rights lawyers, magazine editors, or high powered attorneys. Or maybe they even grew up to become big-time […]
Best Tools for an At-Home Manicure
Despite the fact that I’ve always been a lover of all things beauty, I’ve never quite hopped on the professional mani-pedi train. I know that there are some women who thrive on the efficiency of the super-rushed, in-and-out NYC salon experience, but I usually find the whole thing uncomfortable, cramped, and bizarre. I usually sense that […]
The Wool Coat
There’s probably no better place to make a wardrobe investment than in a great wool coat. Considering it’s an item many of us wear every day through the winter, the cost-per-wear makes even a pricey piece practically pay for itself over time. Just something to consider should you be weighing the value of a big-ticket item […]
The Bold Print Kimono
photographed by jessica attie When we selected The Weston Dress by Isabel Marant Étoile for this installment of Double Take, we all agreed that the piece was fantastic — the fun bell sleeves, graphic print, and kimono shape make this mini dress one to covet. But how, we wondered, could such a bold statement dress […]
The Fake Out Haircut
Is it just us, or does it seem like everyone is going shorter with their hair right now? From Lauren Conrad to Natalie Portman, we’re seeing the “lob” look fresh and modern on so many different faces. If you’re itching to try out this look yourself but freeze up every time you see a pair […]
Best Face Masks
Ever since I was a child, I’ve associated face masks with a sort of feminine mystique. Perhaps because it’s a cliché in movies for a woman to “primp” or “unwind” with green goo smeared on her face, I always thought that taking a few minutes to relax while some magical potion works its wonders on […]
Weekend Daze
The term TGIF has never felt more poignant than it has the past few weeks. Aaron has been traveling a ton for the show and I have been styling back to back shoots and keeping up with all of our blog content as well, which means that by the time Friday afternoon rolls around, all three of us are ready […]
The Art of Layering
I’ll never forget my first Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend: we had only been dating a few months, and as rather unenlightened wee things we got dolled up and trekked to the “nicest” restaurant in town. There, we joined seemingly every other couple in Austin to find our white tablecloth covered table adorned with a tight […]
