Can you believe Monday is the official first day of spring?! Granted, here in Texas, winter only lasts about a month, but as the weather warms back up I find myself starting to crave crisp salads and colorful fruit. Plus, spring’s arrival always inspires me to check in on my New Years resolutions, and this year I’m determined to cook more […]
When our team member Landrie relocated from New York to Austin last year, I couldn’t believe the coincidence when she moved into the same sixplex as our close friend and collaborator, photographer Kate LeSueur. Later, she casually mentioned that Natalie Marchbanks lives across the hall, and that Caitlin Ryan and Jessica Thompson are in a house a few […]
featured image via brandy melville usa The past few weeks, I’ve actually been making it into bed by 9pm with enough time to dive into a good book before turning off the light. I sleep so much better when I get some reading time in beforehand! This month’s roundup includes my new go-to weeknight cookbook, […]
Happy weekend, friends! It’s rainy here today, and I’m looking forward to a cozy day of cooking, errands with the fam, and closet organizing. Is it crazy that those activities make me feel so excited lately? It feels like a welcome break from the faster pace of the workweek — a breath of fresh air that gets me […]
photography by Laura Alexandra Editor’s note: Is there anything better than a great love story? On a day that’s largely constructed around testing our gift-giving skills and planning the perfect date night, we’re thrilled to take a step back from all that and present a story that brings us back to the root of it all. A […]
I’ll never forget my first crêpe: it was sophomore year, and my high school French teacher, Ms. Baysinger, brought a burner to class and taught us how to make the the classic version that we stuffed full of nutella and whipped cream. I remember feeling so sophisticated as I swirled the batter in the pan, yielding […]
Hits all the pretty marks.
These muffins took a few tries to get just perfect because, well, gluten-free baking is not for the faint of heart. I wanted these to be worthy of Valentine’s Day breakfast, which means that they needed to taste moist and sweet and more indulgent than they actually are. And finally, after a few tries that didn’t […]
*photo: chia, acai & strawberry breakfast jar from the awesome green Morning, friends! It’s been an inspiring weekend to see more than a million women across the country march in solidarity. As someone who believes that good will ultimately prevail, yesterday’s events made me realize one excellent result that’s come from the upheaval of the recent election: it’s […]
Morning, y’all! We’re in recovery mode over here after hosting a 70th birthday party for my father-in-law at our house last night that last until the wee hours. Anyone else feel like it’s gonna be a coffee on repeat kind of day? Thankfully I rounded up some great reads from around the web earlier this week […]
Today’s home tour holds a special place in my heart. Now I realize that this sounds like a line from a cheesy romance novel, but I truly believe interior stylist Claire Brody and I were destined to cross paths. Shorty after moving to Austin 6 months ago, I stumbled upon her Instagram account and was immediately drawn to her refreshing style. It was different (in […]
We first met Cristina Lynch when she hosted a Mi Golondrina trunk show in Austin, and we instantly fell in love with the designer’s handcrafted Mexican dresses. She has incredible personal style, which (like her designs) reflects her Mexican heritage through a modern lens. Talking with Cristina, you get a sense that her perspective is rooted in […]
