By now, you’re probably familiar with dry shampoo, or what we like to call the best (and most time-saving!) beauty trend in the past five years. Seriously, what did we do before these ingenious little powders appeared on the market? Washed and styled our hair every damn day? Resigned ourselves to looking somewhat greasy half […]
Are you guys in crazy holiday mode yet? This morning I took a look at my social calendar for the week, and for the first time this year felt that jolt of winter anxiety… so. much. to. do. And with my first gift swap this Thursday (and Hanukkah starting this Sunday), I’m already kicking myself for […]
Is this the dreamiest town in Mexico?
It’s starting to get real cozy around here. I’ve got my turkey ordered and place cards written for this Thursday’s feast, and I’ve got to admit that I’m possibly even more excited about putting up our Christmas decorations the next day. Did I mention that I really love this time of year??? This weekend I have […]
If there’s one thing we admire, it’s ladies who manage to be wonderful mothers, stylish individuals, and passionate entrepreneurs all at the same time. They’re a little bit like unicorns — we need to believe in them even if we’ve never seen one. This month’s pair of Besties are the real thing, and (if that’s […]
I have so many friends who are vegetarian these days (including my sister-in-law who usually stays with us during the holidays), and there’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to feast as heartily as everyone else on Thanksgiving. With a main course like this acorn squash stuffed with quinoa, pumpkin seeds and kale, I’d almost consider skipping […]
We finally (!!!) just had our first semi-chilly day in Austin, and you should have seen our team… Decked out in scarves, boots, and turtlenecks, you would have thought we were experiencing an arctic blast, when it was actually just under 60 degrees. It’s amazing how the changing temps cause such a shift in what I’m […]
Does it ever seem like almost everything we do socially works against fitness? After so many book club meetings, happy hours, and dinners our team decided it was high time we mixed two of our favorite things: appetizers and endorphins. We got our blood flowing on the trail, then headed over to Outdoor Voices to […]
Back from Hawaii this week and still smiling every time I think of our time there; the tropical flowers, salty air, incredible ocean/mountain views, and freshest fish I’ve ever tasted left an indelible impression on my mind. We had some amazing experiences — a helicopter ride all over Maui, and the day that Adam and […]
How do you know when you’ve finally “made it” in the notoriously tough world of fashion? Maybe it’s when you’re awarded one of the ten coveted spots in the CFDA’s Incubator Program. Or maybe it’s when Cindy Crawford’s daughter, Kaia Gerber, is rocking one of your designs in the September issue of Vogue. Or maybe, […]
Can we just talk for a second about how amazing it feels to wash the grime off your face after a long day of working hard and trying to look presentable? To me, there are few better feelings than washing off dried-out concealer and flaky mascara — but, to make this nightly ritual a treat […]
Confession: I used to think that the only real reason to do cardio was to look good in a swimsuit. And since my 20-year-old body pretty much maintained itself (*sigh*… those were the days!), I didn’t work out super regularly because — why? Then a few things happened in my life that changed my perspective. First, I […]
