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 […]
This time of year, there’s really only one item we’re on the look out for: the perfect coat. In Austin, we haven’t quite reached puffer and shearling temps (and honestly, we’re nowhere close), so instead of sporting heavy outerwear, the trench is fulfilling all my cozy, fall-fashion needs. I love how the classic trench has transcended history, originally designed to […]
Of all the shoes in my closet, my current favorites are a pair of dark burgundy velvet smoking loafers. They’re everything I want in a shoe: comfortable, feminine, old-world feeling, and a little bit edgy. They’re just plain chic, and that’s the beauty of the loafer. It’s an up-f0r-anything kind of shoe. A shoe that […]
I’ve never met a veggie sandwich I didn’t like. Seasonal vegetables — whether fresh or cooked — are always a good idea. But when placed between two pieces of perfectly toasted bread, and accompanied by some salty, melty cheese, they reach a whole new level of deliciousness. If you ask me, there’s really no wrong way […]
One consequence of being in new mama travel lockdown for the past few months since Henry was born? I’ve come down with a serious case of wanderlust. And the greater my itch to travel, the more I find myself trolling Pinterest for new destinations that I want to visit (which isn’t helping my case… but I can’t help […]
Raise your hand if you believe that comfort should trump sky-high heels on occasion (or… always, perhaps?) Luckily, the rise of the fashion sneaker and casino utan svensk licens means that we no longer have to sacrifice form for function, and pairing them with your favorite pieces for fall is the perfect way to get that “too-cool-for-school” […]
Where did the summer go? Hard to believe it’s already time for back-to-school shopping, and there’s no doubt that the quickest fix for end-of-summer blues is scooping up some new merch! Although it’s been awhile since I’ve actually shopped for school’s return, there are major benefits to rocking a chic backpack to work: major style and convenience, […]
