If you happened to check out our post from last Friday, you saw our fun analysis of what our pinterest boards really say about us. Tons of beach and travel-inspired images mean you’re fun-loving, adventurous, easily bored, curious, a dreamer, and a child-at-heart. I definitely fall squarely into that category and I’ve got the pinterest […]
I have to admit that I’d been feeling a little “off” this week — just kind of down-in-the-dumps for no other reason than possibly hormones and tiredness. Yesterday I decided that I refused to waste a gorgeous summer Saturday by being in a bad mood, so I put my to-do list on hold and spent the day splashing […]
Next up in our #SipsForSummer series is this to-die-for Spicy Paloma that Ashley Rose from Sugar & Cloth created. I can’t wait ’til the clock strikes 5 today so I can let get this happy hour rolling. I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of cocktails with a spicy kick! Don’t miss […]
Gaby Dalkin is your quintessential California girl. From her sun-kissed complexion to her happy-go-lucky personality she positively radiates sunshine. I had the opportunity to meet her this year and after bonding about a shared love of California, Austin and Tim Riggins (Texas Forever!) I knew I couldn’t wait to feature her SoCal kitchen. Like a […]
Happy weekend, lovelies! Thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes here and on Instagram — it has been a great one! After abstaining from raw fish throughout my entire pregnancy, all I really wanted this year was an epic sushi feast — so Adam and I celebrated with our first post-baby night out on the […]
The royal baby watch may be over, but it’s still going full force around here! Now that I’m in that window where it could actually happen any time, I find myself savoring all the things that will be few and far between with a new baby: sleep-filled nights, leisurely Saturdays in the pool, long restaurant brunches […]
When hosting a Cinco De Mayo fiesta, I think we can all agree that the key to success boils down to one ingredient…the cocktails! While there are plenty of staples that are almost required at a fiesta party…. chips and guac (or this healthy queso), a festive sombrero, Mexican embroidered dresses, even paper picados (make your own with this […]
Stepping into Love Ding is an interior design junkie’s dream: mid century furnishings and bohemian vintage pieces from all around the globe. And maybe it’s the clean palette with pops of colorful whimsy, but something about the space is just so Austin, too. With one of this town’s favorite holidays approaching fast, we turned to Love […]
Your inside guide to the hippest small town in Texas.
Here in Texas there is a small window between sweater weather and too-hot-to-breathe. And that window is here! It’s time to head out to the patio, balcony, or garden with friends for a pitcher of margaritas and make-your-own nachos. If your outdoor space was a bit neglected during the winter months and could use some TLC, now’s the perfect […]
Y’all know that we love a good fiesta around here (especially as Cinco de Mayo approaches!) and last week the girls and I got together for an afternoon shindig on my back patio with grapefruit-jalapeno margaritas and my new favorite party menu… a build-your-own nacho bar! Since Garden of Eatin’ invited us to take part in […]
Whenever my out-of-town friends land in Austin, it seems like they’re united in a single-minded mission: to eat as much Tex-Mex as humanly possible while they’re here. Recently, while briefing one of them on the merits of various breakfast taco spots, I was shocked to learn that she’d never heard of queso. Wha?! In Texas, queso […]
