There are a few things you need to know before talking with a graphic designer. Number one: it’s a typeface, not a font. (Or if you really want to be cool, just “face” for short). Number two: while graphic designers are often introverted people who prefer to work behind-the-scenes, get them talking about type and […]
Last month I gathered with a group of friends and fashion-lovers 30 minutes outside Austin in the country at Green Acres. The plan was to meet at the home of Kirsten Dickerson, owner of ethical fashion and lifestyle brand Raven + Lily, for an evening to celebrate slow food, slow fashion, and thoughtful living. Though the concept […]
It feels like every couple days I’m asked what my “wedding colors” are, and each time, I offer the same underwhelming answer: “I… don’t really have any?” Sure, there’ll be plenty of white and ivory, and lots of greens too, plus some blush, some blues, and oh yeah, there’s that one lilac element too… Since our wedding design doesn’t […]
You guys might have noticed that we took a hiatus from our monthly On My Nightstand series because, well, I took a bit of a hiatus from books in general! After Henry was born, life got really busy and our routine was shaken up, and in such times I tend to fill any little breaks in my schedule […]
“There’s not much better than a baby on a beach, is there?” It was one of those honest observations you make when you’re entirely comfortable with your significant other. We were lying underneath a palapa in Mexico, watching a mother lead her child along the shore. The toddler was experiencing the sea for the first time […]
If there’s one thing I took away from my recent trip to Tulum, it’s a newfound love for mezcal: the agave-based liquor is like the cool older cousin of tequila. It’s a strong, smokey, and complex liquid, perfect as a base for creative cocktails. There are tons of mezcal makers in Mexico, but my girl gang […]
THE restaurant in Tulum shares one delicious secret.
Thank goodness for a short workweek after coming back from Mexico last Tuesday night… it’s so hard to transition from paradise back into the real life, isn’t it? Adam and I spent three blissful days at the One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, and literally did nothing but take long beach walks, lay by the pool […]
Picking up a copy of Ambrosia feels like ordering dessert. The magazine (along with it’s sister publication Drift) is truly a collectible work of art — gorgeous travel photography and writing, laid out minimally on the most touchable matte paper. It’s a luxurious treat for the eyes and soul. So when we found out that […]
Mornin’, glories! This weekend has been cloudy skies with the threat of thunderstorms, so we’ve been keeping things low-key at home with the fam — tea parties, puzzles, and trying to keep up with Henry (the baby gates that we took down when Phoebe turned 3 just went back up!) I made these for dinner last night […]
Call it a weakness, but we’ve definitely been known to browse real estate that’s way out of our price range. That’s why vacation rental sites like HomeAway are our new jam: with a group of ten or so friends, our fantasy home dreams can now come true (at least for a weekend). But shopping short-term […]
I’m all for a tropical getaway, but with the longest to-do list I’ve ever had and a major move on the horizon, my dream vacation is going to have to wait awhile. Until then, I’m living vicariously through friends’ vacation selfies while sipping on one of these tropical cocktails…because nothing screams “vacation” better than a salt-rimmed glass or […]
