My love affair with figs started just a few months ago after trying them for the first time (I know, late to the game) and now I’m doing my best to make-up for lost time by including them in just about everything I make — which is totally doable given their mildly sweet and versatile flavor. Not only are […]
September is a month of new goals and fresh starts, and for many of us, that holds just as true in the food and drink departments. Did anyone else feel like the last half of summer held a few too many opportunities for overindulgences? I definitely hit my limit over the Labor Day weekend with 3 days […]
Happy holiday weekend! Hope you’re enjoying every minute of it and soaking up the last bits of summer before we embrace fall in all its glory. Around here, we’ve been swimming like crazy, hanging with my brother who’s visiting from St. Louis, grilling fajitas and corn on the cob, walking around the city, and I […]
Surely there must be some mistake. The calendar’s saying that it’s mid-August, but that would mean that summer’s coming to a close… and that couldn’t possibly be true, because it just started. Wait, didn’t it? Okay, maybe I’m in extreme denial (and yes, you have permission to join me in a few more moments of summertime bliss […]
Alexandra Macon and Andee Olson met in 2010 while working at Vogue.com and became fast friends — after all they were both Southern girls living and working in New York City. Fast forward six years, and while the two no longer work together officially (Andee went on to become the Site Director for The Coveteur), last summer they reunited to launch a collaborative labor […]
Morning, y’all! This weekend has been a bit nuts — it started on the Texas coast for Chanel’s bachelorette party in Port Aransas, and now I’m at my next stop in San Antonio for yet another girls’ getaway that just happened to fall on the same weekend. I can’t complain, but I have a feeling that it might be tough […]
You guys, my smoothie obsession may have just gone to a new level. With the addition of alcohol. Usually when I have friends over for brunch, I fall back on the old beverage standby’s: coffee and mimosas. As delicious as they both are, I’ve been wanting to shake things up a bit, but I always thought […]
Morning, y’all! We’re in Houston this weekend to celebrate Chanel’s engagement — we haven’t talked too much about it here on the blog quite yet, but I did post a hint at the fabulousness that is to come when she ties the knot this fall, so stay tuned for more on that. Even though it’s a quick […]
Happy weekend, y’all! It’s been a glorious low-key weekend to cap off the end of a crazy two weeks (#SXSW). I hosted a baby shower for two of my pregnant pals yesterday — just a small group of really good friends, breakfast tacos, mimosas, and lots of adorable baby gifts. Oh, and Adam and I got bikes!! […]
Effortless style. It’s fascinating to observe those rare women who truly have it as they throw on their favorite worn-in white tee shirt and instantly look incredibly chic. Alicia Lund, Cali-based blogger behind Cheetah is the New Black, is without a doubt one such gal. She has the type of pedigree you might imagine: former fashion […]
A few weeks ago I found myself at the mall, bouncing from one store to the next, skimming the racks for something new and exciting to add to my wardrobe, when it hit me: I don’t know how to shop in person anymore. Is it just me, or has the shift into online shopping been so profound, that […]
Given my history, not to mention the title of my personal blog, it may come as a slight surprise that when Camille told me about her plans for the wellness makeover, I was absolutely thrilled. While I may have made my mark on the web by slinging over-the-top, decadent creations, the way I satisfy my […]
