While our enthusiasm for bikini shopping may vary from year to year, our love for poolside accessories is absolute. (We know from experience that a great pair of shades, printed sarong, or straw hat can transform the shy-est of swimmers into confident cabana hopper!) Of all the gear packed in our beach bags, it’s the […]
Lobster, watermelon, and citrus—lots of citrus! We are so ready for all the refreshing summer flavors that await us, so we rounded up recipes for our 10 favorite summer salads. Enjoy them as a first course pre-poolside BBQ, paired with a sparkling Rosé of your choice or all on their own. Don’t let the simple […]
Quinoa has somehow become the health food superstar—from a rice side dish substitute to an essential element in any meal of the day (even dessert?). Some may argue that quinoa’s reign ended after its trendy introduction in 2013, but we’re still loving the creative edge that this ingredient provides on a daily basis. What’s your […]
It’s Friday again, and I’ve found myself in an all-too-familiar spring routine — packing my bags for an out-of-town wedding! Between our friends (and our boyfriends’ friends), Chanel and I have joked that we should start a kickstarter campaign simply to fund our wedding-going activities. But as much as we like to complain, we still […]
It’s strange when you stop and think about it: with all the years our moms spent wiping our tears, packing our lunches, and tucking us in at night, there’s only one day a year set aside to appreciate them. It’s a thankless job at times, but an undeniably important one. The lessons instilled in us […]
Spring is in the air! Granted, the weekend forecast in Austin is looking a bit icky, but we’ve got bright, blossoming florals on the brain nonetheless. Whether you’re attending a spring wedding, planning a seasonal dinner party or simply wandering outdoors in search of wildflowers, there’s no better time of year to surround yourself with […]
If you haven’t noticed from this week’s posts like Monday’s dreamy spring picnic or Tuesday’s build-your-own tartines, we have a serious thing for picnics! There’s something that feels so festive and special about packing up a smorgasbord of your favorite bites accompanied by a bottle (or bottles) of wine and holding court under your most […]
Lavender, periwinkle, mint, blush…you know the shades. Those yummy sorbet colors are oh-so-sweet and seem to be everywhere this time of year. Today’s round-up was first inspired by these obsession-worthy platform sandals, but further research concluded that just about any pastel-colored clothing and accessories are virtually irresistible. Click through for 10 of our favorites, and […]
Between tabletops and decor, it might surprise you that music is actually one of the most talked about subjects in this office. Whatever project we’re working on, our Sonos speaker is constantly jamming our favorite Pandora and Spotify channels. This has lead to discussions — some might even say arguments — about everything from André […]
My favorite thing about the new office? Finally being able to ditch my car for a set of two wheels! While I still own a primary vehicle, most days you’ll spot me cruising my Mixte 3 to work and back. With downtown areas being revitalized in cities across the nation and populations moving inwards, there’s […]
While my spring shopping list is rife with the usual bikinis, cover-ups and cut off shorts, there’s one item that seems to be the official must-have accessory of the season. Before now, sneakers were stigmatized as ugly, utilitarian footwear, but the sartorial scene is suddenly singing a different tune! I’ve got my eyes on more […]
The business of food…and cocktails in Austin has become just as serious as the music scene we have long been known for. The city has much more to offer than tasty tacos and a couple of Lonestars (although those will always have a reverent place in the Live Music Capital). We have assembled a guide […]
