Happy weekend, friends! What are all of you up to on this spring Saturday? Austin is still in the throes of SXSW, and while I was all anticipation and excitement last weekend… I’ve got to admit that my energy is starting to wane. It’s been a blast though, and I thought I’d share a few of my […]
We all know a gorgeous invitation suite when we see one… just the right combination of calligraphy and print, perfect color choices, and design that can bring an entire party theme to life. But if you ask me, what really sets show-stopping paper products apart from the rest is great styling. And if you’ve ever tried […]
For a month devoted to hometown love, what could be more worthwhile than sussing out the recipe behind the cocktail recently crowned the “official drink of Austin“? Every year, our city’s best mixologists go head-to-head in a fierce battle behind the bar, and only one comes out on top. We asked our friends at Qui […]
I could get lost in the crowds of SXSW simply people watching for hours on end. People from around the world have arrived in Austin to back-to-back rainy days, and it’s been interesting to see how festival goers and locals alike are handling it from a style perspective. We assembled a group of our favorite […]
Happy weekend! SXSW kicked off here in Austin yesterday, so this city is hopping. Despite the gridlock traffic and hourlong wait at every restaurant, I love the energy and excitement that fills every corner of town during SXSW. There are parties galore, pop-up music venues, and friends visiting from all over the country… which adds […]
For the first post in our new series on “Office Style,” we didn’t have to look far for inspiration…just a few blocks away actually. We headed to the SXSW Headquarters in Central Austin (across the street from Whole Foods’ corporate offices, making this quite possibly the coolest creative intersection in Austin) to catch up with […]
Happy weekend, friends! Thought I’d kick it off with a few of my favorite snaps from last weekend’s whirlwind trip to Miami for South Beach Wine & Food Festival (and don’t miss my favorite links at the bottom of the post!) Phoebe’s first trip to the beach made for some unforgettable moments. Seeing her playing […]
Recent nutritional wisdom has portrayed conflicting views when it comes to the idea of “snacking.” Most women’s magazines praise the virtues of small meals throughout the day, while current bestseller The Fast Diet touts stretching as much time as possible between meals without so much as a nibble. The Fast Metabolism Diet recommends eating six times daily […]
I’m always a fan of a salty-sweet combo, which is probably why I can eat granola by the handful and often find myself gravitating towards it when afternoon munchies strike. As much as I love it, I think that granola might be one of the most deceptively calorie and fat-laden foods around — I mean, […]
We headed to East Texas yesterday for my grandmother’s memorial service, and I’ve been spending time reading through her letters to me through the years — in the spirit of Valentine’s, they’re some of the best “love notes” I’ve ever received. Nana had this way of making you feel like the most brilliant, witty, […]
A bouquet of flowers invariably manages to make my heart skip a beat, no matter the occasion; and the affectionate feeling certainly continued when Elizabeth Lewis of The Nouveau Romantics invited us to play florist for a day and get a taste of their daily design routine. We were led into a whimsical floral fantasy of […]
