The fireworks, BBQs and that timeless red, white and blue color palette — Fourth of July is without a doubt one of our favorite holidays! So, we couldn’t wait to light up the sparklers and get in on the overall festiveness of the occasion by throwing a patriotic pool party with Teavana, whose cool and fruity summer […]
Isn’t the weekend the most wonderful respite from the busyness of the workweek? Especially in the summertime: the days are supposed to be a little lazier and more about enjoyment, yet it’s often difficult to find time to kick back and have fun until Saturday rolls around. What do all of you have on the […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s a fun day on the blog today: we are debuting not one, but two brand new series! When I first met Callie Jenschke, the dynamic Texan who recently moved back to Austin from NYC, I knew a creative collaboration was destined to happen. She worked for the likes of Metropolitan Home, Lonny, […]
Annette Joseph knows how to throw a party — she is confident, full of laughs and totally at ease, as she whips up one Italian dish after another while guests simply sit back in awe of her skill.

We’re back from our trip to Saint-Tropez, and I can officially report that it was everything I’d hoped it would be and more.

Our dads taught us how to throw a football, eat with our hands (sorry Mom) and live life on our own terms — what’s not to love? I can still remember being a little girl and hopping on the couch with my Dad for long hours of watching the French Open or the PGA Tour […]

The first day of summer may be June 21st, but I think summer came a little earlier this year! I’m already stocking my fridge with watermelon and popsicles, lathering on the sunscreen, and hopping in the pool every chance I get. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m already planning a few pool parties […]
When you take a look around the Hugheys’ home, little tidbits of Kerri’s grandmother’s legacy are everywhere: black and white nostalgia in the form of old photographs, a simple wooden recipe box full of delicious thoughts and scribbles, a white and red cabinet in the kitchen. Across from the cabinet hangs one of Ed’s prized possessions: […]
Don’t get me wrong: I love girly. I adore lace, the color pink, jewels, frosting and peonies. But I think that all those feminine notions are way more interesting when juxtaposed with something a little more organic, don’t you?
