The window of time during which you can choose how to dress your kid is a finite one. It’s not long before making matchy-matchy outfits that you find utterly adorable is replaced with doling out allowance for them to buy and wear what they want… and Halloween’s no different. Last year we dressed Phoebe up as a pineapple because […]
As promised, I’m sharing a few sneak peeks from inside the pages of my book before its release on October 28th, and these shots from Setting the Fall Table are some of my faves… In the book, each season kicks off with inspiration for setting the table for a dinner party — flowers, linens, dishes, DIY elements, […]
I didn’t have to look far to find the models for this installment of Double Take…in fact, I just had to look across the office as today’s models are none other than my talented co-workers, Chanel and Jenn. We all got excited when we spotted this kate spade new york wool capelette, and I couldn’t […]
There’s just something about a berry stained pucker that screams drama! I must confess that I am crushing on the fall lip trends big time — especially these berry options. I love that you don’t need to do much else with your makeup when it comes to a bold lip and it is something you […]
A family that plays together stays together. But what about a family that works together, from home, across two different cities? Judging by the life that the Wixoms have made, they not only stay together, but flourish and make adorable babies. Austinites Kris and Alisa Wixom (say that two times fast!) are co-creative directors for advertising […]
It’s here! The official invite to my book launch party in NYC, plus our first round of tour dates (mark your calendars!) are finally up, and this whole journey I’ve been on for the past 2 years is suddenly feeling very real…There’s no doubt that one of the parts of the book release that I’m most […]
If I had to eat only one food for the rest of my life, I think I’d choose ice cream. I’ll gladly devour any flavor, from roasted beet to plain old vanilla, fancy artisanal versions or DQ soft serve (remember “dip cones?”)… I’m pretty obsessed with it all. Since we’re still feeling summertime temps here in Austin, I’m holding onto ice cream […]
Is anyone else currently drooling over all things pumpkin? Here in Texas, we’ve been greeted by a few too many cold weather teasers, which only beg for constant daydreams of falling leaves and autumn anticipations. Enter dreams of bundling up in warm knits and flannels, the sweet scents of a burning pumpkin soufflé candle, the laughter of children […]
It’s ACL Festival weekend here in Austin, and for us, it’s been one of extremes: Friday was action-packed at the festival (Chvrches, Sam Smith, Foster the People), then yesterday we woke up to pouring rain and decided to sit it out and embrace a cozy day at home. Movies, popcorn, perusing Pinterest, making soup… I […]
It’s always a good day when the topic in question is doughnuts. Or is it donut? It seems that these two words are often used interchangeably these days, but I wanted to figure out the story behind the variations on the term for this sweet, sticky, scrumptious treat. After some light reading and research, I found that both […]
You’ve got the inspiration and your menu is set… the only thing left? Do-it-yourself decor elements that’ll have guests buzzing, and a little piece of the party for them to take home as favors. Thankfully, both details can come together in a flash, and require nothing more than a few materials you likely already own, and […]
Just in the same way everyone told me I should be prepared for the gigantic life changes that come with becoming a mom, it seemed that I got even more knowing looks and words of advice about getting ready for what some say is an even bigger transition — having baby number two! We welcomed […]
