For Ashley of Gather and Feast, the people surrounding the dining table are just as important as the fresh produce and foliage adorning it. It’s hard to believe that she only recently started sharing her love for “beautiful, yet low fuss” gatherings, and in the six months since she started her blog, she’s also launched a free recipe […]
With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, sweet treats, decadent chocolates, and dangerous indulgences are on our minds. And when tasked with whipping up a delicious and devilish Valentine’s treat, we knew that Libbie Summers — hostess with the mostess and author of Sweet and Viscous: Baking with Attitude — was the woman for the job.

Gray skies, harsh winds, slushy streets…no offense, winter, but you ain’t the prettiest season there is. Once we get to January, I start to feel like I’ve lost my luster entirely. (Hey, a girl can only endure so many nights that start at 4:30 pm before she starts to forget what a summer breeze feels […]
Hope y’all are having a great weekend so far! We hosted a couples’ baby shower for some good friends at our house last night, and it was so fun celebrating their soon-to-arrive bundle who will be just 6 weeks older than ours. Today will be whipping the house back into shape, doing a massive grocery […]
For many of us, a new year means a new resolution to get more fit. So far, I’m excited to report that I’ve managed to uphold my New Year’s fitness resolution (3 weeks strong!) My secret: the right gear that helps me feel my best, inspiring me to get into gear. Sometimes a shiny new something is just what’s needed to keep your eyes […]
When you’re working with a tight space, or a tight budget, a headboard can be one of those nice-to-have pieces that doesn’t quite make the cut. Don’t get me wrong I love the look of a low bed in the center of a sparse, white room, but in real life (and when you don’t live in […]
We’ve all been there: a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear. Sure, we have that handful of staple pieces that we couldn’t possibly live without, but the rest of our wardrobes can go untouched for weeks, months, or even years. I personally found myself in a dire state of closet disrepair a few months ago, around the […]
Are you guys in the Valentine’s Day mood yet? Or are you still wishing friends and family a “Happy New Year”? Until just a few days ago, I was definitely the latter, but making this Valentine’s Day flip book quickly had me singing a different tune. That’s right, love is in the air, and since this […]
I love this quote by Terence Conran: “Home is the heart of life… Home is where we feel at ease, where we belong, where we can create surroundings that reflect our tastes and pleasures. Making a home is a form of creativity open to everyone.” While it’s true that home is really about the people […]
You know that girl — the one in your facebook feed with impossibly good hair. In EVERY photo. She automatically seems more confident, more successful, and more put-together, because our hair has such a big impact on our overall appearance. Thick, shiny, richly hued hair is a symbol of youth and health, so there’s no […]
Guess what? I finally have a slow-cooker in my life! Apparently I dropped enough hints, because my mom and my mother-in-law each got us this beauty for Christmas (yes, we returned one), and my favorite hobby of the new year has been testing out recipes that I can throw in the cooker in the morning… then reap the […]
photographed by priyanca rao For these three best friends and business partners, the hardest thing about happy hour these days is keeping the conversation off work. But hey, when you’re busy running a buzzed-about event design shop in Brooklyn, it’s impossible not to be excited about concepting the next big thing for your clients. “It’s […]
