Design

Home is more than a place—it’s a feeling. We’re inspired by spaces that feel grounded and welcoming, warm and minimal. Our design approach leans into the wabi-sabi beauty of the imperfect, seeking a deep connection with the objects we bring into our homes.

Claire & Aqua Girl

Claire Craig is one of our ultimate girl-about-Austin crushes. Not only is she the owner of one of our favorite local boutiques, but she’s got a sense of humor and a cool girl je ne sais quoi that just makes you wanna hang out with her. And as if that wasn’t enough, she’s also mom to one of the […]

21 Items I Want to Add to my Wardrobe This Fall

In the spirit of transparency, I have selfish reasons for writing this post. Every year, I intend to put a little more planning into fall shopping. My imaginary plan: I build a streamlined wardrobe that’s made up of entire looks that go together, and each season I strategically add a chic mix of investment pieces and lower-priced items. What really happens: Since […]

Naturally Dyed Shibori Pillowcases

When I first discovered Kristine Vejar’s book The Modern Natural Dyer, I fell in love with the bright colors, amazing textures, and the fact that natural dyeing was one of the few art projects I had yet to try. But after reading a few of her tutorials, I realized natural dyeing involves a lot of […]

The Floral Photography We’re Obsessed With

You guys have probably seen my good friend Ashley Woodson Bailey’s stunning floral photography floating around the web, and I’ve been obsessed with her prints and wallpaper ever since she launched her company a couple years ago. I already own a couple smaller pieces, but I finally got my hands on one of her large format prints […]

8 Ways to Make Your Bed Non-Basic

Editor’s note: Ever since Rebecca Atwood‘s “Living With Pattern” landed on our doorstep, it feels like my design sensibilities have done a complete 180. I’ve had varying versions of mostly white bedding for years and have always loved it, but flipping through the vibrant, pattern-filled pages of this book has me craving color and texture in a […]

How To Finish Decorating Your Home

When I moved to Austin a few years ago, I had nothing but two overweight suitcases in tow. I spent months making trips to and from stores trying to equip my first home, and still it felt so empty. In some ways it was a wonderful having a blank slate without being restricted by hand-me-down furniture […]

Organic Romance

It feels like every couple days I’m asked what my “wedding colors” are, and each time, I offer the same underwhelming answer: “I… don’t really have any?” Sure, there’ll be plenty of white and ivory, and lots of greens too, plus some blush, some blues, and oh yeah, there’s that one lilac element too… Since our wedding design doesn’t […]

10 Cute Suitcases You’ll Love to Pack

There’s a great passage in Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield, the angsty protagonist, is overwhelmed with pity for his roommate for having such terrible luggage. This is me in every airport ever. I’m standing at the bag carousel, watching a sad parade of black nylon roll by, wondering what happened to Americans when […]

Let’s Be Pin Pals

Hey y’all, wanted to pop in with a fun little Pinterest update: in celebration of topping 100k followers, we decided to give our boards a little refresh and reorg, and things are looking pretty fab over there (if I do say so myself.) You guys know how much I love streamlining, so it was fun to […]

How To Add Versatile Patterns Into Your Home

Michelle Adams wrote in HouseBeautiful that she “spent most of my 20s as a magazine editor, photographing stylish spaces in New York City and around the world for Domino and Lonny.com. And go figure: My personal style was all over the map.” I for one have loved that about her style, and have gotten so much […]

10 Fierce Animal Print Accessories

J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons once said, “As far as I’m concerned, leopard is a neutral.” And honestly, I’m starting to agree with her! Animal prints definitely make a statement when outfitting – but because they incorporate so many neutral color tones, they can complement almost any outfit. Accessories are a great way to start introducing […]

Fold-Your-Own Geometric Envelopes

When’s the last time you sent someone snail mail just ’cause? My friend Jenny is one of the best at it, checking in with a funny greeting card every few months, and on my birthday just a couple weeks ago, the cards I got in the mail cheered me up way more than the messages written […]

Juley & Jameson

Juley Le describes falling for her Boston Terrier as “love at first sight,” and we believe it. Because ever since we laid our eyes on Jameson in this entertaining story about Juley, well, we’ve been in love with him too! Sigh… guess the charmer just has that effect on women. Over a year into our secret admiration, we finally […]
