Ah, summer. You’re finally here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. There’s nothing like feeling the warmth of the sun on your face after a long winter (and a long, chilly spring, depending on where you live)—but, if you’re not careful, that hint of sun on your skin can turn into a full-on burn. You […]
Working on today’s round-up, I realized how much we live in a style bubble in Austin. There’s definitely a certain look to the girls in this town, and during the summer months it’s more apparent than ever: cut-off shorts, everywhere. I’ll admit, I’m guilty too! But nothing compares to putting on my light-washed, low slung, super distressed boyfriend […]
The fact that I actually get to use pinterest on the daily for my work is pretty much proof that I’m in my own version of a dream job. Of all my social media accounts, my pinterest feed is definitely my happy place. For me, it feels like pure exploration. Over the years I’ve discovered […]
It’s no secret that there are more sketchy chemicals lurking in our personal care products than we’d like to admit. While as a beauty lover I’ll never give up all of my products for say, a jar of coconut oil, over the past couple of years I’ve been much more aware of the toxicity of […]
Ask any Austinite: Fresa’s is the place where you go to get the best chicken in town the world. You can order a half or a whole chargrilled bird at the cutest drive-thru window you’ve ever seen, and it comes wrapped in butcher paper with grilled onions and peppers, beans, rice, and warm corn tortillas so […]
If you ask me, off-the-shoulder tops never went out of style. Much like wide leg jeans, I’ve always thought the cut to be ultra stylish and flattering, and even though mainstream fashion is just telling us to love them right now, I’ll forever have a place in my heart for the look. Not only does an off-the-shoulder […]
There are two types of exercisers: the lone wolf, and the groupie. While I totally identify as the former (having friends around while I work out is distracting to me!), I know plenty of people whose fitness routines thrive when they have a familiar face around for encouragement. Sound like you? If so, bookmark these exercises, call […]
When our brilliant friends from Margot Blair Floral and Mint & Maple joined forces to host a workshop on the Art of Hosting, we begged them to share their secrets here on the blog, too — these are the pros, y’all. Even the best of us can get stressed at the thought of hosting a dinner party, so any inspiration for making […]
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and even if you’re in a romantic relationship, there’s no better time to shower your best girlfriends with love. This year, why not skip the usual box of chocolates and gift both yourself and your BFF with a chic, modern version of your elementary school friendship necklace. You know what to do: keep […]
It’s an age-old problem: You’ve been hit with a case of wanderlust. The moment it strikes, there’s no turning back. It’s all daydreams of beach escapes and cozy hideaways, of passports and highways that lead anywhere and everywhere. But not every trip can be a glamorous jaunt across countries, so what to do when you […]
Oh sweaters, where would we be without you every Fall and Winter? As comfy as leaving the house wrapped in your favorite down comforter, yet as effortlessly chic as a pair of classic tennis shoes, having a well-stocked sweater collection is a must this time of year. But where do you begin sifting through the thousands […]
One of the best things about the holiday season is stuffing a favorite pair of flannel pjs in a weekender and hitting the road. It’s the time of year many of us find ourselves en route to the in-laws’ cabin, the favorite cousin’s home, or the old college friend’s apartment. Quality time aside, staying overnight […]
