It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and we’re looking for any and every excuse to kick back and celebrate. So, when kate spade new york asked us to throw a pool party inspired by their latest collection, it was a total no-brainer. Bursting with vibrant colors, adorable toucan details and floral motifs, each […]
I think a case could be made for 2014 being named “The Year of Juicing.” It seems that everyone and their mom has tried some kind of juice cleanse (try being the operative word, since only the brave make it to the bitter end), and even for those of us who haven’t taken the plunge, the […]
Happy weekend, lovelies! What are all of you up to on this lovely almost-summer Saturday? It’s been a very full week with photo shoots (this one was epic), hanging with Phoebe and planning some upcoming travel, but overall, it was a great one. There’s nothing better than when work feels more like play, and when […]
I’ve noticed that among beauty enthusiasts, there seems to be two major camps: those who love nothing more than to try out new products and switch up their makeup look based on their mood, and those who seek out their favorite products in each category and become die-hard loyalists, sticking to their tried-and-true beauty routines […]
Between being a mom to her two toddlers and running iGnite, a holistic health and fitness program in Austin, that boasts an impressive lineup of sometimes as many as nine classes in a day, life is busy for Neissa Brown Springmann (photo by Nicole Mlakar). We asked this fit mama if she would keep a food […]
Back in January, we shared the “before” photos and inspiration for our new studio space that was currently in-progress. Well, like most renovation projects, it took a teensy bit longer than expected to get it all photo shoot-ready, but I’m so excited to finally share it here in all its white walled, wood floored, marble counter […]
Love this shot of my mom and me, taken right before I walked down the aisle 5 years ago. I feel so lucky to have a mom/best friend who’s been by my side for all the big milestones throughout my life, as well as all the little day-to-day moments that are so much more fun […]
In honor of this month’s theme (Wellness), this edition of Office Style is all about exercise gear. We asked the stylish (and inspiringly fit) girls of South Austin fitness studio, MOD, to fill us in on their favorite brands and pieces to rock during one of the studio’s high energy classes that incorporates barre work, […]
Lately I’ve been on a quest of sorts — a quest to understand happiness. It started with watching documentaries about the human condition like I AM and 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama, and ultimately led me to stumble upon an incredible site called Happier. Happier is an app for your phone — I can […]
It seems that the busier life gets, the more nonfiction I read… maybe I feel like I’m being more “productive” with my downtime? Probably not the healthiest attitude, but I still have some real jewels in this month’s reading selections, from a look at why we all feel so overwhelmed and how to break the […]
Thank goodness it’s Saturday… anyone else in desperate need of a day to hit the slow down button on life and take a bit of a reprieve from the nonstop to-do’s of the workweek? I’ve got brunching, baking, and closet organization on my agenda, and since it looks like temps are hitting the 90’s today, our poolside chairs […]
A fiesta doesn’t always have to be about vibrant colors, tequila shots and busting open a pinata. The queen of understated cool, Currie Person, invited her group of creative Portland gal pals over for a Mexican-inspired feast, showing as she does in her inviting shop, Spartan…that less really is more. The Austin native and film business […]
