Living in a loft has its ups and downs. The pros: high ceilings, large windows and exposed brick or concrete walls. I was practically sold when I saw the open floorpan at our current home, and the industrial details like pipes and structural columns were the cherry on top. And then there are the cons: more wall space […]
You might think I’ve lost it, but these days I get really excited about a loaf of stale bread. One bite of this salad, though, and you’ll get it. Crisp, peppery, bright radishes and the subtle licorice kick of fennel punch up tangy, olive oil-drenched croutons, with herbs, just-bitter-enough radicchio, and salty cheese further mixing up the […]
The more conversations I have with my girlfriends, the more I realize: women are natural worriers. We worry about little things (I woke up at 2am last night with my mind racing about the wood floors we’re getting installed!) and the big things (families, health, job security… the list goes on.) However unpleasant it might […]
photographed by mia baxter If I had to describe Julia Lake in one phrase it would be this: “Not afraid to be fabulous.” As the renowned event designer behind Julia Lake Parties!, Julia is one of those rare people who just instinctively knows how to turn a get-together into a magical, once-in-a-lifetime event. When Michael […]
Earlier this month, I was chatting with my hair stylist and we began talking about the idea of the capsule wardrobe. I’m sure you’ve seen people posting about it as it’s becoming an increasingly popular idea. As soon as I walked in the door, I couldn’t help myself. I promptly put everything in my closet […]
photographed by belathée Remember that pair back in high school who were somehow on the yearbook staff, honor roll, and varsity team all at once? Well, they’re probably rocking pretty great jobs by now. They might be human rights lawyers, magazine editors, or high powered attorneys. Or maybe they even grew up to become big-time […]
I have spent the last twenty-seven years of my life (so all of them) coveting any and all creamy desserts. From ice cream, to pudding, to more ice cream, I just can’t get enough. I have distinct memories of my ten-year-old self bellying up to the kitchen counter, preparing those little boxes of instant pudding – pouring […]
Despite the fact that I’ve always been a lover of all things beauty, I’ve never quite hopped on the professional mani-pedi train. I know that there are some women who thrive on the efficiency of the super-rushed, in-and-out NYC salon experience, but I usually find the whole thing uncomfortable, cramped, and bizarre. I usually sense that […]
Kumquats are the new beloved citrus at my house. They can be eaten skin-on, whole or sliced, raw or cooked. With their burst of zingy tartness, they provide a much-needed dose of bright flavor on these cold winter days. Besides being hearty and delicious, these mini loaves have no dairy, gluten or grain, but I promise […]
As you can probably tell by the images here (taken at the loveliest flower shop in Boston, via Gardenista), I’m suffering from serious Spring fever. The temps in Austin have been such a tease — sunny and shorts-appropriate one minute, grey and cloudy the next (i.e., at this very moment as I gaze wistfully out […]
It’s finally time to print out your ballots, roll out the red carpet, and sip on champagne like our friends in Hollywood. Between analyzing best (and worst) dressed and entertainment provided by host Neil Patrick Harris, we are too excited for the Academy Awards this weekend. Although by the time Sunday rolls around, planning and preparing dinner will likely take a backseat to watching for Bradley […]
