Entertaining with :: Natasha Esch
You know how sometimes, you hear someone’s name pop up multiple times within the span of a week and you wonder if it might be some kind of sign? Over the last few months, Natasha Esch (and her inimitable Hampton’s store MONC XIII) have quite literally been everywhere – from Goop to Lonny to Vanity […]
Ann Edgerton
If there was an Ann Edgerton fan club, I’d be a charter member. This creative gal-about-town is so multitalented that you’d almost hate her… if she wasn’t so darn sweet and lovable. She’s an interior designer, prop stylist and culinary artiste, and no doubt has a few other hidden talents of which I’m not even […]
Entertaining with :: Lily Kanter
The stylish co-founder of our favorite decor company is a hostess I can relate to: she loves entertaining, setting a gorgeous table, throwing an impromptu party — but she doesn’t love to cook. When Lily Kanter isn’t busy at the helm of Serena & Lily, she’s soaking up life at home, the very place that […]
Entertaining With :: Aida Mollenkamp
I’ve been a fan of Aida Mollenkamp’s ever since spotting her approachable and totally delicious cooking style a few years ago on the Food Network show, Ask Aida. However, my fan-girl status turned into total girl crush-dom when we shared lunch and a glass of pinot grigio on her recent visit to Austin, and I […]
Entertaining With :: A Beautiful Mess
Have you ever followed someone in the online world, only to meet them in person and discover that their offline personality is totally different than what you’d expected? I certainly have, and I’ll admit, it can be… unsettling. Not so with Elsie and Emma, the sister duo behind lifestyle blog A Beautiful Mess. When I met them […]
Entertaining With :: Catherine McCord
Now that Phoebe is eating a wide range of foods (from roasted cauliflower to yes, the occasional chocolate chip cookie), I’m constantly on the hunt for simple recipes that she’ll love, that can also be the jumping-off point to whatever Adam and I will be eating for dinner that night. Since receiving my copy of […]
Entertaining With :: Athena Calderone
It’s clear that Athena Calderone has always infused style into every aspect of her life, but lately the interior designer & blogger behind Eye Swoon has got the internet seriously buzzing (this stunning Elle Decor feature, a Refinery29 tour and a coincidental appearance in Cristina’s column, to name a few)… and with good reason! Our […]
Entertaining With :: Confetti Pop
This time of year, there’s almost nothing I love more than a dinner table that’s bright, poppy and unabashedly summery. Pair that with a casual backyard cookout and touches of handmade decorative details, and it’s safe to say we have the perfect mid-summer affair on our hands, don’t you think? Maddy Hague and Shauna Younge […]
Entertaining With :: Jane Coxwell
As someone who reads cookbooks like novels, I’ve got to admit that many of them start to sound extremely similar… I mean, I love beet salads as much as the next girl, but give me something new! So when I picked up Jane Coxwell’s new Fresh Happy Tasty, brimming with fresh ideas and new-to-me cooking tips, […]
How Daphne Oz Hosts a Dinner Party
I may have been accused of using the term “girl crush” a bit too often, but I really do have a new one: Daphne Oz is the ebullient co-host of ABC’s The Chew and author of one of the most inspiring books I’ve read in awhile, Relish. And relish she does… I think what makes Daphne so completely irresistible is […]
Entertaining With :: The Fronks
There are lots of reasons why I’ve been counting down to summer’s arrival, but at the top of the list was the anticipation of sharing today’s feature with you all. Not only are Jordan and Chris Fronk a super stylish couple, but they’re also two of the most fun loving people I know… so it’s […]
Entertaining With :: Sheridan French
When it comes to freshening things up for spring, vibrant colors, energizing prints and ikat everything can instantly cheer up any mood and outfit. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that Sheridan French simply oozes effortless fun and style — as the brains behind a brand that’s all about eye catching prints in classic silhouettes, the girl has […]
Entertaining With :: Bailey and Peter McCarthy
Nothing personifies entertaining in Houston quite like a dinner party that perfectly fuses Tex-Mex flavors with charming southern hospitality. So when I spotted a topped off margarita glass set beside antique crystal on Bailey McCarthy’s table, I couldn’t help but smile. You may know Bailey as the blogger behind Peppermint Bliss, the brains behind Biscuit […]
Entertaining With :: Kendra Scott
When it comes to bright, show-stopping jewelry, Kendra Scott is our go-to girl… and since she happens to be Austin-based, we’re proud to be able to call her one of our most fashionable friends. There’s no question that Kendra knows a thing or two about putting together a killer outfit, but what you may not know […]
Entertaining With :: Holli & Moses Thompson
Chelsea here, with a very special Entertaining with… all the way from the Virginia countryside. Two weeks ago I was welcomed into Holli and Moses Thompson’s fascinating historical home to photograph recipes and ingredients for Holli’s business, Nutritional Style. During my stay, in between snapping delicious food photos for her website, we captured a profile of their signature entertaining style as […]
Embracing Your Best Self :: Tara of Happy Hemp
Forget everything you thought you knew about hemp: for the next installment of our Embracing Your Best Self series, Maja interviews Tara Miko, founder of Happy Hemp, who spills on this super food and her many other healthy lifestyle choices. She also recently introduced us to our favorite new snack, toasted hemp seeds! By the way, […]
Entertaining with :: The Little Yoga House
The older I get, the more I realize what an impact my upbringing had on the person I am today. I can’t begin to tell you how many dramatic tears were wasted on my parents as I begged for drive-thru lunches, just so I could get my hands on a rewarding toy, yet today I couldn’t […]
Entertaining with :: Erin of Apartment 34
You guys probably know lifestyle blogger Erin Hiemstra as a fashion expert and interiors maven from her fab blog Apartment 34…but I happen to know her as one of the sweetest and smartest gals around, and I’m thankful that she’s become one of my dearest friends over the last couple of years. I’ve been dying to […]
Entertaining With: Tracey Overbeck & Ethan Stead
I really want to go to a party at Tracey Overbeck and Ethan Stead’s house. Aside from being smart, stylish and incredibly creative, this couple approaches entertaining with such an attitude of joie de vivre that the guests at their legendary dinner parties couldn’t help but have the time of their lives. As you enter […]
Entertaining With :: Taylor Sterling, Glitter Guide
What’s not to love about a gorgeous blonde who also just so happens to be the brains behind one of our favorite sites? As founder & creative director of the ever-inspiring Glitter Guide, Taylor Sterling has soared to the top of our list as the go-to source for a healthy dose of sparkle. So when […]
