An ode to my wallet: You guard my most prized possessions, yet endure my abuse. I love you when you’re shiny and new, and even more when you’re tattered and worn. You are my best friend, wallet. Wallets are the best. We grow so attached to them, that we often keep them in our handbags […]
Since we kicked off the summer with our big trip to Italy, I’ll be mostly hanging out in Austin for the rest of these dog days. Not that I’m mad about it: to me, the beauty of this season is slower-paced days and weekends with little on the calendar besides swim, sun, and snow cones. Even […]
ed note: Next up in our Pulling It Off series: stylist Taylor shows me how to wear the season’s best menswear trousers in a way that feels feminine, not frumpy. Turns out, it’s all about the fit. Take it away, Tay! From the moment I first laid eyes on Diane Keaton in Woody Allen’s 1977 […]
It’s practically a law that every woman should have a little black dress in her closet, but I think a white lace-y one also deserves must-have status. While sometimes considered a delicate piece reserved for special occasions, by styling your frock with laid-back jackets or casual shoes, you can achieve a variety of different looks. Pair it with a […]
*ed note: This week’s edition of Pulling It Off was inspired by a personal wardrobe challenge. Like the rest of the planet, I’ve started wearing sneakers with just about every type of outfit, except for one that has continue to stump me: skirts! Every time I donned a skirt + sneakers combo, the look ended […]
ed note: Spring has officially sprung, and with it, my favorite shopping season of the year. Bring on the breezy sundresses, straw hats, and perfect sandals! Of course, a new season is also the perfect time to break out of our comfort zones and try out styles we may not have worn in the past, […]
This fall the runways are packed with beautiful color palettes and uniquely structured collections; the message from designers is loud and clear that this is the year to embrace a one-of-a-kind look. Although matching separates have traditionally been thought of as prim and proper, this new edgier crop is about freedom and creativity in one’s personal style. When creating this look for […]

The number one sign that fall has arrived? (and no, I’m not talking about pumpkin spice lattés.) The arrival of a beautiful new pair of boots on my front porch, and an absolute craving to start wearing them despite the still 90-degree temps here in Austin. I’ve always been a boot girl; once October rolls around, I pretty […]
ed. note: Trends come and go (seemingly at warp speed these days) and I think there are very few things that always feel chic every season, year after year. What belongs on that list for you? A white button-down, of course, and a cropped leather jacket and nude ballet flats are pretty much always cool. […]

If there’s one thing we admire, it’s ladies who manage to be wonderful mothers, stylish individuals, and passionate entrepreneurs all at the same time. They’re a little bit like unicorns — we need to believe in them even if we’ve never seen one. This month’s pair of Besties are the real thing, and (if that’s […]
Is it the vinyl crackling over the stereo? The cozy candle-lit tables? The perfectly unexpected location? Whatever it is, Justine’s Brasserie has an electric — magnetic even, vibe that draws an undeniably magical crowd night after night. To your left, maybe a wild mix of musicians and artists. To your right, perhaps Zooey Deschanel and […]
If there’s anything better than a friend willing to lend you a good outfit, it’s one who’s willing to lend you a great album. Best friends and musicians Lani Thomison and Ericka Herod are knee-deep in both, and their shared love for vinyl and fashion are just two of the things that keep this Austin […]
Our relationship with cutoff jeans is a little bit like our feelings about hot dogs: in the right setting, they’re undeniably perfect. Nothing says “summer” like a homemade pair of denim shorts — paired with the perfect white button down shirt, we like to think we’re channeling a 90’s Cindy Crawford. But handcut denim can […]
If you don’t know what Bloglovin‘ is, allow me to do the honors (and if you do, skip to the next paragraph): You know all those gorgeous, inspirational blogs you stumble upon every day? Well have you ever wished there was a way to keep track of them all? If so, Bloglovin’ is a total lifesaver. Not only […]
Back in March I played around with the idea of a capsule wardrobe — a limited number of clothes and shoes that you mix and match for a finite amount of time. The idea is that it makes getting dressed easier, and simplifies this one part of your life by getting rid of the unnecessary. Admittedly, I […]
If it’s true that you are the company you keep, I want an invitation to join this friend group stat. Duffy Stone and Christy Curcuru are creative girls about town here in Austin, and since meeting just three years ago, the two have been practically inseparable. What keeps them close? A shared love for design, their […]
