How I Gather

Bringing people together around a table is our greatest passion in life and we believe food is one of the most powerful tools for connection. In our series, How I Gather we go behind the scenes with our favorite foodies to see how they do it.

This Dinner Party is Giving Us All the Coastal Vibes

Cities like New York and Los Angeles are filled with stylish creatives, but it takes a certain perspective to leave the fast pace of the cities behind for considerably quieter Rhode Island. That’s exactly what Jess Ann Kirby and her boyfriend Craig did after five years of bouncing back and forth between those two cities. […]

This is the Ultimate Oktoberfest Dinner Party

You may remember Anna Crelia and Rhoda Brimberry from a couple years back when we interviewed them for our Besties series. Since then, these sisters-in-law turned business partners have been growing Loot Vintage Rentals to become Texas’ largest vintage rental and event styling company. We’ve been lusting after their chic, refurbished finds for years and now […]

How Our Two Favorite Ceramicists do Brunch

Almost every surface in Samantha Heligman and Eliana Bernard’s Austin home is covered with their ceramic creations — vases, trays, plates, drink ware — you name it, they’ve made it. I met up with the studio mates turned roommates for brunch, and the girls traded in their ceramic tools for kitchen tools as they whipped […]

This Dinner Party Makes Us Want to Travel to India ASAP

After returning from our trip to Italy earlier this month, we were all bitten by the travel bug, and it seems we’re not the only ones! Sisters Katie and Erin of MIRTH Caftans designed their entire Spring 2017 collection around a recent trip along the coast of India. Their line features some of the chicest […]

A Picturesque Backyard Dinner Party with Rui Nakata

We’ve been major fan girls of Rui Nakata’s food-filled Instagram feed for a while, so when we realized she lives right down the street from us in Austin, we knew we had to snag a seat at one of her famous backyard dinner parties. Rui and her fiancé Anthony share a love for garden-to-table cooking (they grow their […]

Renee Byrd of Will Frolic For Food

Earlier this year, I did an “edit” on my Instagram feed and whittled it down to only the accounts who truly inspire me. It’s been game-changing to be able to pick up my phone and get an immediate dose of beauty and creativity across style, travel, art, and wellness…and of course food! One of my very favorite […]

Laney Crowell of The Moment

Is it awkward if I take this moment to confess my long-standing girl crush on Laney Crowell? ‘Cause it’s almost impossible not to develop one within minutes of meeting this chic NYC-based beauty who doles out warmth and wisdom in equal measure. Laney and I first crossed paths through a mutual friend many years ago when […]

Allison Crawford

When interior designer Allison Crawford returned from a recent birthday spent in Paris, she couldn’t wait to invite her best girlfriends over to share all the highlights from the trip. Allison’s downtown Austin loft apartment is a lot like her designs — bright, sophisticated, with a healthy dose of seventies glam. We met up with Allison and […]

Meg Lonergan

We’ve always known that great style runs in the family, but these days, it truly feels like every great trendsetter has an equally chic sister counterpart. Think about it: Cara and Poppy, Zooey and Emily, Mary Kate and Ashley, Bey and Solange… the list goes on. Well today, we’re adding Kate and Meg to their ranks. As […]

Gaby Dalkin of What’s Gaby Cooking

photos by mary costa I sometimes say that I’m a California girl, even though I wasn’t born there and have never actually lived there (is that weird?) It’s more wishful thinking than anything else; every time my flight touches down in LA, or San Diego, or San Francisco (I could go on and on… California […]
