Buckwheat soba noodles are my current jam. I never really cooked with them until recently when I started experimenting with some Asian noodle-y dishes, and now I can’t get enough. Their heartiness can stand up to all kinds of raw and cooked vegetables, and since they’re bursting with nutty flavor, they really don’t need the cheese […]

Sure, they’re both busy being successful physicians, but why should that stop them from being top-notch decorators with impeccable taste for vintage design […]
There are only a handful of brands in the beauty industry that can boast a truly legendary heritage, and Estée Lauder, loved equally by starlets and the average woman for decades, is undoubtedly at the tip top of the list. I can remember swiping on my grandmother’s Estée Lauder lipstick as a five-year-old, marveling at the transformative […]
Our upstairs remodel has been such a fun design project these last few months… but it’s also a great feeling to wrap them up and just enjoy our new spaces, especially since we’ll be welcoming a new baby home any day now and life is about to get a lot crazier! Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve […]
The royal baby watch may be over, but it’s still going full force around here! Now that I’m in that window where it could actually happen any time, I find myself savoring all the things that will be few and far between with a new baby: sleep-filled nights, leisurely Saturdays in the pool, long restaurant brunches […]
“Rental kitchen.” Those two words can strike fear into the hearts of many renters. The kitchen can be one of the more restricting rooms in the house to decorate, depending on how obliging your landlord is, so it takes a special kind of ingenuity to show your personal style in a rental. Believe it or not […]
Can y’all believe that I’m less than 3 weeks away from my due date? It seems like such a short time ago that I was announcing my pregnancy, and now that little bump has turned into the full-grown baby bump I’m sporting in today’s post. We’re so excited to welcome this new little guy into […]
photographed by Kate Zimmerman for Garden & Gun shot on location at the Texas Alpha Pi Beta Phi House We’ve never been to Churchill Downs, but we’re pretty sure that derby watching parties are neck-and-neck with the real thing when it comes to fun. This year we partnered with our friends at Garden & Gun to […]
Morning, friends! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far. I’ve been battling a nasty cold all week (sick and 9 months pregnant… so not cool), but finally managed to shake it off enough yesterday to embrace our Saturday morning rituals: walk around the city, farmers’ market stop, pastries and omelettes on the patio of […]
Your inside guide to the hippest small town in Texas.
We’ve all seen the Turkish towels that seem to be on the shelves of nearly every major retailer. And if I’m being honest, until recently I didn’t see what the fuss was about… sure, they look pretty, but how can you call something a towel when it’s paper thin and hardly absorbent? Well, since getting my hands on […]
I’ve been sneaking little peeks here and there of our work-in-progress upstairs spaces, and I’m so excited to show y’all the first of the finished rooms! Since I hadn’t changed up the decor of Phoebe’s nursery since she was born, we thought it was time for our almost 3-year-old to have a room that was a […]
