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 […]
Granola is one of my biggest weaknesses. I think it’s something about that sweet-salty-crunchy combo; if I know it’s in the pantry, resistance is futile. Since I’m not planning to ban granola from my life any time soon, I’ve been making lots of homemade versions that are way healthier than the processed sugar-laden ones you usually find at […]
During the last few days of the year, we’re thinking about the goals that will help us become better in 2017. Whether you’re the type of person who picks one resolution and dedicates all of her energy to it, or the girl who writes down three to five resolutions to keep in mind throughout the year, I encourage you all […]

With Christmas in the rearview mirror, we’ve officially reached that point in the season where I start feeling the itch for warmer temps and swimsuit weather. Luckily, Austin’s winters are so short that we really don’t have that long to wait (sorry, rest of the country), and as a result I usually start incorporating springtime flavors into my […]
