Austin had it’s share of visitors from around the globe this past weekend for the first annual Formula 1 race at our new Circuit of the Americas racetrack. The city was abuzz with excitement over the foreign guests, and in particular several rumors that a few monarchs might be in town. Jenn here, and I […]

Last month, Adam & I checked into the Hotel St. Cecilia here in Austin for a little stay-cation to celebrate his birthday. Every detail was perfection in that so-hip-without-trying kind of way…so when our floral contributor Ash sent me the latest wedding that she worked on there, I knew it would be full of cool, […]

Morning y’all. We were out semi-late (okay, it was only 10:30, but that’s late for us these days!)  at a friend’s birthday potluck where I might have had just a little too much wine…and let’s just say that the only word going through my head right now is coffee. Looking forward to a crisp, fall weekend full of […]

Aside from the crisp weather and family time, I think a big part of what makes Thanksgiving (and all holidays, for that matter) so special is the tradition that that gets passed down each year… especially when it comes to the food. Of course it’s hard to argue with time-tested seasonal ingredients, but I love […]

I (Jeanine) come from a very traditional midwestern family where some Thanksgiving traditions are not to be messed with. I don’t know how some of these culinary delights came to be, but I’m sure many of you can relate… the infamous canned green bean casserole made with canned cream of mushroom soup and canned fried […]

Luckily, Taigan has […]

Happy Thursday y’all! Claire here with a fun little DIY I’m excited to attempt. Every girl needs a place to stash her most prized jewelry, and my roomie Chanel is no exception. We’ve been on the hunt for one that she can display on her dresser, but haven’t found the perfect one yet… so I’ve decided […]

If you’re wondering where you’ve heard the name ‘Antiquaria‘ before, it was probably right here. We are such huge fans of the dynamic design duo & vintage housewares collectors, that we feature their beautiful work nearly every chance we get… so it was only a matter of time before we asked Emma and Bailey to […]

Thanks to Austin’s vibrant creative community, it seems like there’s a cool artist event happening nearly every weekend… but last week’s inaugural Feliz event definitely upped the ante. Natalie Davis and Abby Powell conceived of this “celebration of handmade” to showcase the work of talented makers, and the weekend lineup included artist-led workshops as well as a […]

Have any of you hopped on the clip-in extensions bandwagon? If this is your first time seeing them, you may be a teeny tiny bit jarred by the way these look, but ask anyone who’s given clip-in’s a try… they’re life-changers. Used to add length, thickness or both, it’s actually kind of amazing the difference they can […]

Hard to believe that in one short week, the grocery shopping and menu planning will be complete and it’ll be time to gather round the table and enjoy one of the best meals of the year. If (like me) you’re still gathering inspiration for Thanksgiving table decor, feast your eyes on these breathtaking florals from […]

As a stylist, it’s important that each of my projects has my unique, creative fingerprint on it. The same way Annie Leibowitz’s photography or Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture has a certain quality that is identifiable to each of them, I (Jen) always strive for my work to exude my own unique aesthetic. I’m currently knee […]

Last week, a huge box showed up at my door bearing…(wait for it) tons and tons of goat cheese. For a chèvre lover like myself, this felt very much like a fantasy, especially since it happened to be from Cypress Grove, the Northern Cali cheesemaker behind my favorite Humboldt Fog selection. Anyway… I knew I […]

I spent some time planning my Thanksgiving table over the weekend, looking through my Pinterest boards and considering my color palette options. I thought about a moody plum & gold option…and played with the idea of pumpkin…but the simple look of kraft paper and organic greens (mixed with a touch of gold) just feels so […]
