How to Make a Martini

This is the second post in our new “How To” series that will share fresh ways to bring more style into everyday life.  Nestled underneath the offices of one of Austin’s most respected (and Mad Men esque) ad agencies, McGarrah Jessee, is what will soon be the city’s hottest watering hole — Garage. Filled with original art deco design details, co-owners […]

Love + Work :: Miller and Jana Mobley

At just age 27, Miller Mobley has risen to the top of the ultra competitive photography industry to become one of the most sought after shooters in the business, traveling the world shooting A-list celebrities on assignment for the likes of TIME, Entertainment Weekly and the Hollywood Reporter, to name a few. He’s done it […]

On My Nightstand

I thought that this month’s reading list would be predictably self-improvement oriented… but when I looked at the books on my nightstand that I really wanted to read, it turned out to be more about fun! We’ve got a highly-anticipated novel, a collection of fashion industry correspondence, a coming-of-age tale about culture and class structure and a […]

On My Nightstand

After letting 2 months slip by between editions of On My Nightstand, I’m dying to share so many reading ideas that it’s tough to narrow them down to just four. Still, I’m forcing myself to choose only a well-edited selection in the hopes that you guys will check out every single one and let me know what […]

Phoebe’s Fall Wishlist

She’s got a penchant for pink and a major thing for shoes (the better to practice running in!) Today, Phoebe’s sharing a few things on her wish list for fall (and yes, I might have helped her just a teensy tiny bit…) She may just be one, but the girl knows what she likes! An irresistible print, […]

On My Nightstand

Can’t believe it’s already time for another edition of On My Nightstand, and this month, I’ve got some real jewels to share. Don’t you love it when you have a book that you’re so excited about, you actually look forward to crawling into bed at night just so you can dive into its pages? Well right now, […]

On My Nightstand

Funny how it seems that the times when I have the least amount of time to read are usually the times when nothing would do my soul more good than diving into a great new novel or an engrossing memoir. This past month has been crazy busy (whatever happened to the “lazy days” of summer?) […]

How To Make Your Bar Cart Beautiful

How many of you have taken the plunge and purchased a bar cart? We scored a vintage one on Craigslist a couple years ago, and since then have used it countless times, painting it a new color between uses. And when it’s not being used at a party or in a photo shoot, the cart stands […]

An Antiquarian Baby Shower

It’s no secret that we’re longtime fangirls of everything Antiquaria (remember this sneak peak into their entertaining style?), so when we first heard that Emma was expecting a little girl, we immediately began counting down to the big reveal of what would undoubtably be a gorgeous baby shower. Turns out, the day was every bit […]

On My Nightstand

Last Friday was the official first day of summer, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who got a little giddy thinking about lazy days spent lying next to a cool body of water, stack of books at the ready. For me, nothing signifies vacation quite like a fat juicy novel. Allowing myself to […]

What Phoebe Eats

Gourmand. A person who loves good food (and occasionally enjoys it too much) — one who is flavor-obsessed, often dreaming about what to make for dinner while enjoying her lunch. Yup, guilty as charged, and it probably comes as no surprise that I’ve been impatiently waiting for the month when Phoebe could move past milk and […]

On My Nightstand

It’s funny how sometimes, there’s nothing I’d rather do than dive into an engrossing novel to unwind…and other times (like this month), I’m totally in the mood for nonfiction works that enrich my body, mind and spirit. I’ll be heading to LA and Aspen during the next few weeks, and I’m loading up my iPad […]

On My Nightstand

Most nights spent at home these days, after we’ve put Phoebe down, prepared dinner and put away the dishes, I’m confronted with 3 choices: work on my laptop, watch TV or read a book. Lately I’m trying to do much less of the first two and more of the latter, and it’s amazing how much […]

On My Nightstand

This month’s books left me feeling inspired, from a memoir that explored the relationship between a son and his mother who left an indelible mark on everyone in her world, to the breathtaking images of fashion photographer Anne Menke’s global travels. What type of books are inspiring all of you lately? Beautifully-written novels, biographies of great […]

Happy (Half)Birthday to Phoebe!

Last week we celebrated Phoebe’s half birthday… I can’t believe our darling girl is 6 months old! The other day I read a quote that said “The days are long, but the years are short,” and boy is that true with a baby. Some days (especially if she’s having a fussy afternoon) the hours seem […]

Featured Shop :: Cox & Cox

Even before I became a mom last year, I’ve always been drawn to kids’ crafts, games & clothing that capture the whimsy and magic of childhood – those items that take you back to what it really felt like to be a kid. I stumbled upon UK-based Cox & Cox a few weeks ago and […]
