Happy weekend, friends! It’s rainy here today, and I’m looking forward to a cozy day of cooking, errands with the fam, and closet organizing. Is it crazy that those activities make me feel so excited lately? It feels like a welcome break from the faster pace of the workweek — a breath of fresh air that gets me […]
When we announced our wellness-focused blog makeover last year, we knew it would bring with it all sorts of wonderful surprises. Since then, we’ve all become a bit more mindful, experimented in the kitchen more, and have been exercising more regularly (give yourselves a pat on the back, ladies). But perhaps the best change of all that’s come […]
In my purse you’ll usually find no fewer than 5 lip glosses, and it seems I’m not the only one: just peek inside the handbags of the rest of our team for proof. There’s something about lip products that begs to be part of a collection that includes one for every mood, outfit and weather condition. Of […]
About a year ago, I began the daunting project of scanning in all of the journals that had amassed in the back of my closet over 3o something years. I’ve been an avid journal keeper since I was in junior high, and even have a few dating back to elementary school. What was it like revisiting […]
The countdown has begun to that time of year when we pack away our sweaters and break out the swimsuits. Well, at least here in Texas (sorry, Chicagoans.)

Oh la la.
Morning, friends! This weekend has so far been my absolute favorite kind: tons of sunshine, brunch with my sister, reading new books, making dinner on the grill, and yes — we actually spent a few hours in the pool yesterday (in February!) Crazy, I know. Work has felt incredibly busy lately between a really full shooting […]
One of the biggest challenges of our wedding planning process was getting our invitations made and out the door. For some couples, printed details might be the least of their worries (these days it’s not uncommon forgo tradition and send out a digital invitation altogether) but for us (ehem, for me), these elements were a […]
photo via camille styles Even for those of us who love our jobs, the Sunday night blues are for REAL. I’ve noticed that especially when I’ve had a fun and carefree weekend, the transition back into the structure of the work week can be a tough pill to swallow. In an effort to take back my Sunday […]
I’m sure many of y’all have heard of the cheekily-named “Engagement Roast Chicken” that’s reported to be so good, any man will fall in love on the spot. All due respect to Ina, but I’ve got my own chicken recipe that’s equally simple to make and, thanks to it’s crispy exterior and gorgeous presentation, even more effective at convincing […]
