The arrival of Thanksgiving week brings with it a hint of slowing down around here; taking a break from the nonstop pace of the past few weeks and preparing to savor a few days of great food and a house full of family. And I, for one, could not be more ready. I had the […]
So far, this book tour has been a crazy-fun, once-in-a-lifetime experience… and getting to meet so many longtime readers face-to-face has definitely been the highlight. If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ve caught glimpses here and there of the festivities, but I wanted to pop in with a full post about our latest party in […]
Morning, friends! It’s been a cozy, fun weekend so far… On Friday, I was feeling pretty zapped from the past week that was full of book events and other work stuff, so we cancelled the babysitter and our multiple Friday night social plans, stayed in, tried a new (amazing) roast chicken recipe, and hung-out in front […]
Has anyone else been craving Thanksgiving flavors and festivities for weeks? Though the countdown to the big day is still going strong, I took it upon myself to preemptively celebrate a few weeks early with a tea-filled Friendsgiving dinner party with some of my favorite girls. Lucky for us, the cold (ish) weather settled in Austin just […]
Victoria is one of those rare bloggers who always seems to just get. it. right. Her “bohemian modern” style is perfectly curated without ever feeling contrived, and she’s well-loved around the blogosphere for her genuine positivity, warmth and total authenticity. (can you tell I’m a fan?) As her blog’s name suggests, Victoria is a San Fran girl […]
photos by katie kett It’s not everyday you come across a pair of best friends who live together and work together. Turns out the co-founders of our favorite Chicago-based blog, The Everygirl, aren’t your average girls at all. Alaina Kaczmarski and Danielle Moss met at a Christmas party in the winter of 2010 and through […]
Happy weekend! This morning I’m feeling so thankful for sunny skies — my Austin book party is happening on a grassy lawn outside Hotel Ella at brunch today, and the weather is definitely cooperating to make it a perfect celebration. Can’t wait to see so many of you there! (it’s not to late to RSVP!) What are all […]
Do you have a mentor? A person you can (a) go to for advice, and (b) trust their wisdom enough that you actually take it to heart and allow it to inspire your actions? I’ve been thinking a lot about female mentorships lately, and how important it is to support each other in our unique […]
Caroline Huddleston Haley and her husband, Brian, recently purchased a quintessential Travis Heights home, complete with 1930s charm, sophistication and plenty of friendly neighbors. Even at 8 1/2 months pregnant, Caroline takes full advantage of the new space by hosting relaxed, seasonal and fun dinners for friends and family. After working in New York City for […]
Although this post is a part of our Office Style series, it could just as easily have been featured as one of our Dream Job posts because who doesn’t fantasize about working in a place next door to a test kitchen cooking up the most delectable Southern-inspired dishes, or an office stocked with a prop […]
Is it obvious that we’re in an autumnal state of mind around here? If today’s apple-themed inspiration board doesn’t have you feeling the same, I don’t know what will. Camille and I got to spend a few days in New York last week, and the cold temps and changing leaves we experienced there were such a […]
Megan and Mike of The Fresh Exchange are the kind of creative couple who truly embody effortlessness. Their aesthetic is on trend-yet-approachable, their recipes require just a handful of ingredients, and their travels inspire a sense of wanderlust that isn’t just aspirational. I’ve had my eye on the stylish duo for a while, but thankfully held out until […]
