Living kindly. Let’s talk about this for a second. I get asked quite a bit, What does living kindly mean? And the truth is, living kindly means something different for everyone. When I started this column two years ago, the focus was sharing my weight loss story, and how I made a pact to be […]
Almost every surface in Samantha Heligman and Eliana Bernard’s Austin home is covered with their ceramic creations — vases, trays, plates, drink ware — you name it, they’ve made it. I met up with the studio mates turned roommates for brunch, and the girls traded in their ceramic tools for kitchen tools as they whipped […]

I caught the premiere of David Gordon Green’s Manglehorn during SXSW in 2014. (I remember spending a good part of the day waiting in the long line that wrapped around the Paramount theater to get in.) Turns out that Shane and Anna were there, too — they had met two years earlier by chance on the […]
After returning from our trip to Italy earlier this month, we were all bitten by the travel bug, and it seems we’re not the only ones! Sisters Katie and Erin of MIRTH Caftans designed their entire Spring 2017 collection around a recent trip along the coast of India. Their line features some of the chicest […]
We’ve been major fan girls of Rui Nakata’s food-filled Instagram feed for a while, so when we realized she lives right down the street from us in Austin, we knew we had to snag a seat at one of her famous backyard dinner parties. Rui and her fiancé Anthony share a love for garden-to-table cooking (they grow their […]
Earlier this year, I did an “edit” on my Instagram feed and whittled it down to only the accounts who truly inspire me. It’s been game-changing to be able to pick up my phone and get an immediate dose of beauty and creativity across style, travel, art, and wellness…and of course food! One of my very favorite […]
Greetings, fellow bookworms! I’ve got some real gems for June, starting with the must-read memoir that was released today… and ending with my current read that promises to make me more self-aware. There’s also the world’s most gorgeous cookbook and a brand new issue of my favorite print mag. I’m currently in Italy soaking up some major […]
ed note: When we heard that our friend, Tara Miko, was headed to Tulum to dine at the once-in-a-lifetime Noma pop-up, we begged her to capture it all and report back. Here she shares the highlights, the food porn, and everything you need to know about traveling Tulum, even if a table at Noma’s not on your agenda. […]
Morning y’all, happy holiday weekend! We’ve already been soaking it up in a major way around here: yesterday was hiking and farmer’s market and rosé by the pool and trying out a new eggplant recipe on the grill (so good – can’t wait to share the recipe with you guys.) Can’t believe that my birthday […]
Morning, y’all! We started the weekend early on Friday morning with Phoebe’s preschool graduation (still can’t believe it), then a celebration lunch with the kids and playing hooky in the pool all afternoon. Amazing how an extra day makes the weekend feel so long and luxurious, like a true opportunity to get rejuvenated for the […]
For some people, trends are a fun way to experiment and evolve their style; for others, they’re something to keep at arm’s length. Especially when it comes to homewares, which can be a larger investment than clothes or makeup, I want to be sure that I’m going to love my purchases for a long time. That’s why […]
