It is a gorgeous fall weekend here in Austin – sunny skies with just enough chill in the air to pull on a sweater over my shorts and head to the farmer’s market to stock up on ingredients for this salad. I love these rare weekends with no commitments on the agenda, when we can savor these […]

Is there anything better than a Bloody Mary at Saturday morning brunch? After a long history of ordering fruity, champagne-based cocktails, I’ve officially traded in the mimosas of brunches past in favor of the complex flavors of a well-mixed Bloody Mary. Vodka and tomato juice are the building blocks of any run-of-the-mill Bloody Mary recipe, […]

Happy Thursday everyone, Claire here with my latest project dilemma. One of the many influences my job as an interior designer has had on my personal life is my constant desire to change and rearrange my own humble abode. I spend so much time creating spaces for others that it’s not unusual to find me pushing around […]

Halloween is only two weeks away, and you know what that means: soon you’ll have plenty of chances to scare yourself stiff watching all the old horror movies on television! I don’t know about you, but I think Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 film The Birds is still one of scariest movies I’ve ever seen. The Master […]

I’m so thrilled to introduce our newest contributor Jeanine Donofrio and her new series In Season. Twice a month, she’ll be stopping by to share a healthy, delicious recipe inspired by one seasonal ingredient picked up from the farmer’s market. I’ve been a huge fan of Jeanine’s blog Love & Lemons for a while: it’s one […]

Jen here, and I love the month of October! I’m fully on board with the changing weather, pumpkin-flavored everything, and of course Halloween!  Long before I was a stylist, there was nothing I loved more than putting together a creative costume. Come October 1st I would start counting down the days and scoping out the […]

Did y’all catch this morning’s spooky Halloween party inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds? Some of my favorite elements on the table were those perfectly creepy cookies depicting black birds in every size and shape… and the gal who created them, Sara of Sara Belle’s Bakery, stopped by to share how we can recreate them for […]

Have you guys seen the trailer for the new Anna Karenina movie, starring Kiera Knightley, that comes out next month? As a sucker for period dramas with gorgeous costumes and illicit love affairs, I’m counting the days… Wouldn’t it be fun to have a pre-movie dinner party before heading to the theater with a group […]

Happy weekend! What do all of you have on the agenda today? It’s all about the music here in Austin – ACL Festival is going full force, and we spent the day yesterday braving the crowds and hearing some pretty amazing bands. Today will bring a little more festival time, but hopefully a lot more […]

Jenn here, with a simple and fun little DIY created especially for you “I-hate-costumes” types! With Halloween fast-approaching, it’s not too late to put together an outfit you’ll have fun wearing. Ever since I caught the 1966 Audrey Hepburn film  How to Steal A Million on Netflix a few months back, I’ve been thinking about […]

Have any of you gotten started crafting some pumpkins yet? We’ve got one baby gourd perched on our front doorstep, but otherwise I’d say I’m a little behind in the fall decor department. I love a good carved pumpkin, but a rather unpleasant experience a few seasons back (as in, rain-meets-carved-pumpkin-while-we’re-out-of-town) left a not so great […]

To be perfectly honest, I was feeling a lot of pressure to come up with a great Halloween costume for this year. After last October’s smash hit, I spent the last few months racking my brain tirelessly in an attempt to come up with an idea that was just as fun and easy to create. I’ve had […]

Strap on the stretchy pants and get ready to join in on my pumpkin craze. Jess here, and today I’m here to share a dish that practically screams fall-on-a-plate. This creamy pumpkin fettuccine alfredo is the perfect dinner to come home to with these cooler fall temps we’ve all been dying over (truth be told, I’m just pretending the […]

‘Tis the season to sink your teeth into crunchy, ripe apples…and I’ve been cooking, baking and gleaning tons of inspiration from their myriad shapes and colors already this month. Thought I’d put together a roundup of our favorite ways to use apples and a few apple-centric inspiration boards from the last couple of years. I […]
