As much as I’d love to spend every summer jetting off to St-Tropez or some other fab destination for a week, some years, it’s not in the cards. But even when a summer is spent closer to home, it’s still nice to find ways to channel the breezy, relaxed vibe that comes with a great vacation. Earlier […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s a fun day on the blog today: we are debuting not one, but two brand new series! When I first met Callie Jenschke, the dynamic Texan who recently moved back to Austin from NYC, I knew a creative collaboration was destined to happen. She worked for the likes of Metropolitan Home, Lonny, […]
Annette Joseph knows how to throw a party — she is confident, full of laughs and totally at ease, as she whips up one Italian dish after another while guests simply sit back in awe of her skill. Annette learned from the best: after working alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, living alongside her best Italian girlfriends and […]
This breakfast is somewhere between a healthy morning meal and a delicious indulgence. It’s the perfect warm weather brunch idea, individually baked for your guests. Breakfast crisps are perfectly sweet without giving you the sugar hangover of most pastries. It’s best served with strong coffee and a dollop of whipped creme if you’re feeling fancy. […]
Adam and I typically have a strict “carry-on only” policy when we travel, and last week’s trip to St-Tropez was no exception. Seven days at a destination that required lots of different outfit needs (sightseeing, beach lounging, dressing up to go out at night) definitely made it a challenge, but one I was willing to embrace […]
If you’ve spent even one summer in Austin, then you know the absolute best way to spend it is underwater. Our sizzling city is blessed with some of the best public swimming pools in the state, and our natural water swimming holes are truly magical destinations. That’s why I’m completely enamored with the instagram account […]
We’re back from our trip to Saint-Tropez, and I can officially report that it was everything I’d hoped it would be and more. We left just after my 30th birthday, and rang in our 5-year wedding anniversary while we were away, and the magic of the place made it an unforgettable way to celebrate both […]
While our enthusiasm for bikini shopping may vary from year to year, our love for poolside accessories is absolute. (We know from experience that a great pair of shades, printed sarong, or straw hat can transform the shy-est of swimmers into confident cabana hopper!) Of all the gear packed in our beach bags, it’s the […]
Phoebe and I were so thrilled to be featured in Austin Home’s summer issue, hanging out in our kitchen on the cover! We had so much fun shooting with the amazing Casey Dunn, who managed to capture all of my favorite parts of our home and bring them to life on the pages of the […]
Some of us never forget our first experience with Kombucha. I remember staring blankly at those bouncy clusters of (extremely foreign) floaters, wondering why my mom insisted that I gulp down the alien drink. Fast forward a couple years and many tangy sips later, this trendy, fermented drink has got me hooked. Whether it’s that […]
I may be a beauty product junkie, but that doesn’t mean I want to camp out in front of the mirror each morning! I think every woman should have a 5-minute routine that makes her feel great and gets her out the door quickly. In the summertime, I’m all about a naturally sun-kissed look that […]
I don’t know about your hometowns, but when the Splash Pads opened in Austin on May 17, it seemed that everyone in the city was there to ring in the occasion. It’s one of the most popular ways parents find free fun and an escape from the heat during the hottest months of the year. […]
