We’ve all seen that girl at the pool. You know the one: with full-on pancake makeup and flat ironed hair, awkwardly positioned on her towel to avoid a single drop of water from ruining the masterpiece. Needless to say, we NEVER want to be that girl! We want to be the one who’s up for […]
Every now and then I get to work on a post where I have to stop and pinch myself: is this seriously my job? Spending an entire afternoon searching the web for the best summer dresses of 2015 definitely qualifies as one of those moments! I’ve found that I tend to conduct this search naturally […]
There are a few things in life I know so well that I could easily navigate with my eyes closed: the Whole Foods rosé section, my childhood neighborhood, Neiman Marcus’ makeup department, and the 3-mile loop around Lady Bird Lake. And then there are those things that immediately elicit my famous “uh, what?” face (as […]
If you do home improvement projects often, you probably know that they almost always take more time (and work, and money) than you originally planned. Well friends, I stand before you today reinvigorated and re-inspired, as I can honestly say that this makeover project might be the first of its kind to have actually been easier and faster than […]
First off, full disclaimer: I love weddings. I’m just that type of girl. (I may or may not be the type of girl who has a secret stash of Martha Weddings dating back to the late nineties… but I’ll leave you to ponder that.) But as much as I’ve adored being included in so many […]
I’ll never forget meeting Katie Turpin for the first time at Camille’s San Antonio book signing — it was a cold winter’s night and she stood out (in a sea of fur coats and flat ironed hair) for having that seriously perfect I’m-not-trying-too-hard natural beauty. We struck up a conversation that was adorably interrupted by […]
This summer marks the first time I’m thinking about taking the reigns and hosting a baby shower for some friends — I typically play a supporting role in such events. But this particular couple is so dear to me that I couldn’t be much more excited about their new addition if it were my own. […]
Growing up all of my design inspiration came from just two or three sources – the glossy magazines that arrived in the mailbox each month. Today, we have new and diverse images available to us daily from so many sources it can be overwhelming, yet it is still so easy to fall into the same habits. Subway […]
Emily Meyer is one inspirational lady, and it’s not just for the obvious reasons. Sure, she co-founded Tea Collection — an award-winning children’s clothing line that’s inspired by global cultures and modern design (and is ethically sourced!). And yeah, she’s a wife and mother to two adorable kids — Clement (age 6) and Georgia (age 4). But […]
Bathroom envy is a real thing, people, and if you don’t believe me just take a look at Gabriela Perezutti Hearst’s marble tub on instagram. While I generally prefer a certain level of modesty when it comes to interiors, I’m absolutely and totally cool with over-the-top bathrooms. It’s the one room in the house that’s […]
If you don’t know what Bloglovin‘ is, allow me to do the honors (and if you do, skip to the next paragraph): You know all those gorgeous, inspirational blogs you stumble upon every day? Well have you ever wished there was a way to keep track of them all? If so, Bloglovin’ is a total lifesaver. Not only […]
The Right answer: I’m religious about slathering on my SPF 50 every day, rain or shine, regularly reapplying at 3 hour intervals and after getting out of the pool. Plus, I always wear a hat with a big brim to keep all those rays off my face! We’ve only got once chance to protect our skin, […]
