Smoke-Infused Beet Spread

Recipe from Huckle & Goose | Click here for the full story “This probably wins as our favorite way to eat beets. Smoke is definitely a flavor element here, so if you don’t have access to an outdoor grill, take the veggies to your friend’s next grill out and whip this up there. The natural […]

Marinated Eggplant & Tomato Crostini

Recipe from Huckle & Goose | click here for the full story “We are huge fans of roasting, and while most of us don’t want to turn on the oven in the summer, this recipe is so worth it. The best part is the longer it sits the better it gets, so you don’t have […]

The New Rules for Dinner

We’ve all been there — seated at a table of fifteen girls trying to figure out the bill at an expensive restaurant. In the end, you’re not quite satisfied. You paid too much, ate too little, and could only talk to the girls seated directly next to you. It wasn’t quality time, and yet it […]

A Healthy Girls’ Grilling Party

We love summer for the obvious reasons, but if you ask me, the season has its downside too. I love splashing around in the pool as much as the next girl (if not more), but can’t help but feel just a bit bummed each time I reach out to a friend to get together for […]

Summertime in Maine with Isabel Gillies

I’ve never been to Maine, but I know I’d love it there. Growing up, one of my close friends headed east each summer to spend 6 weeks rope swinging and eating fresh seafood with her family, and I couldn’t help but feel the steady onset of jealousy upon hearing the stories and seeing the photos […]

Phoebe’s Woodland Fairy Birthday Party

I’ve got to admit, one of the most fun parts of having a 3-year-old daughter is that I finally have an excuse to plan parties with incredibly girly themes like “Woodland Fairy.” And now that Phoebe is old enough to have strong opinions of her own, she gets to weigh in with a birthday party wish […]

Explore My Favorite Parties Ever

Are y’all having a good start to the week? If you’re like me, it can be tough to dive back into the workweek after a fun weekend, so I always try to put something a little escapist on the calendar for Monday morning. I’m super excited to roll out a new search feature on the blog today […]

Courtney Caplan & Sarah Miller

Courtney Caplan and Sarah Miller make one hell of a team. As the dynamic duo at the helm of Austin’s Caplan Miller Events, the two friends (along with their talented team) are the go-to when it comes to producing a drop dead gorgeous event in this town, and it’s with good reason. Within five minutes of meeting the local […]

Phoebe’s Woodland Fairy Party Inspiration

Well, it’s happened: my baby girl just up and decided to turn 3! It’s bittersweet to look back at photos from when she turned 2 and realize how much she’s grown from a toddler into a little girl over the past year; one with a full-fledged personality, sense of humor, and definite opinions about everything! […]

A Midsummer Night’s Soirée

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is probably my favorite play by Shakespeare. It’s filled with fanciful prose, crazy love triangles, mystical personalities, and encompasses a unique approach to that most serious subject of love. No wonder I immediately gravitated towards this magical bohemian dinner created by Michelle Burke, who brought Shakespeare’s tale to life by utilizing […]

A Mediterranean Summer Mezze

We’ve been in denial for weeks, but the date on the calendar makes it official: mid-August means summer is coming to an end. Nooo! The cucumbers! The peaches! The tomatoes! It’s hard to imagine life without the amazing produce that summer has to offer, and even though we’ve had a blast experimenting with all the ripe ingredients (remember […]
