July in Austin is all about seeking refuge. Cold movie theaters, restaurants after dark and the always spontaneous night swim are means of survival when it comes to triple digit weather. I love this time of year for it’s slower pace and nostalgic little moments of watching bored high school kids hanging out at snow […]
There’s something about being near a body of water that immediately makes me feel about 100x more serene. Regardless of what scheduling snafus or work deadlines or toddler meltdowns are happening in the rest of my life, the ocean (or lake, or heck, even pool!) magically wash it all away, leaving the calmest, most present […]
Our Cinco de Mayo (pre)party was the first-ever fiesta at the bungalow, and it was a dreamy occasion. With a delicate combination of patina, Palo Santo, and good company, this gathering had a timeless and unforgettable feeling to it. As Cinco de Mayo approaches, so does the question, what (or where) are we going to […]

It’s insanely […]

I’m one of those weird people who read cookbooks like novels; I can stay up into the night earmarking pages of recipes I want to try and planning imaginary party menus around them. Ever since I got my hands on the beautiful new cookbook by my friend Athena Calderone, founder of lifestyle site EyeSwoon, it’s […]
It’s easy to make fun of the omnipresence of pumpkin spice everything at this time of year; sometimes it feels like it’s hard to step outside without getting a whiff of those familiar fall flavors, much less sit in a coffee shop. But if we’re being honest, can we just all agree that it’s a cliché […]
Like most everyone on the planet, I’m a major hummus fan, and usually the packaged kind from the grocery store will satisfy all my pita chip dipping needs just fine. But on set at a photo shoot last week, Berty, the chef behind Hummus Among Us, blended up his homemade signature hummus recipe then topped it […]
