photographed by kate lesueur There’s a saying going around Austin right now that “100 people move here every single day.” While we haven’t exactly taken the time to fact-check that stat, it certainly feels true, and Forbes magazine has just named Austin the 2nd fastest growing city in America. With so many talented young people […]
I used to hate washing my face in the morning. When I woke up, I would almost dread having to groggily go through the steps I knew I was “supposed” to follow to start the day with clean skin. But somewhat recently, I began looking at my morning cleansing, toning, and moisturizing as a soothing ritual […]
Heidi Swanson’s cookbooks are deeply rooted in a sense of place. Her personal anecdotes and signature, muted photographs paint a rich picture of her busy and interesting life in idyllic Northern California. Heidi has written two cookbooks and her highly anticipated third, Near & Far: Recipes Inspired by Home and Travel, is due out this […]
Y’all know that we love a good fiesta around here (especially as Cinco de Mayo approaches!) and last week the girls and I got together for an afternoon shindig on my back patio with grapefruit-jalapeno margaritas and my new favorite party menu… a build-your-own nacho bar! Since Garden of Eatin’ invited us to take part in […]
Happy weekend, darlings! This one’s all about celebrating baby’s arrival around here, first with a couples’ shower that some close friends hosted for us last night, and today, with a casual family barbecue. There’s something about unwrapping all those onesies in shades of grey and blue that makes it that much more real we’ll be […]
When a stylist, photographer and foodie get together to throw a backyard dinner party, you know it’s going to be good, so we were thrilled when good friends Renee, Selina and Kerry sent us snaps from their bohemian picnic complete with a wildflower-adorned tabletop, whimsical dreamcatchers and even a pitched teepee. Renee Elliott’s art for pairing vintage and modern […]
Brunch is my favorite meal for entertaining, and not just because I love breakfast food so much. It’s a chance to have a slow-paced, leisurely start to the day with the ones you love. It also doesn’t hurt to have bottomless coffee and perhaps a glass of prosecco!My go-to is usually something baked in the oven, like […]
Since the launch of our Entertaining With series (almost three years ago!), we’ve showcased everything from a hearty supper in the Virginia countryside to a stunning summer lunch on a Manhattan rooftop. All of these entertaining extraordinaires bring something uniquely their own to their gatherings, and there’s certainly something extraordinary about everything that today’s hostess touches. Besides serving as editor-in-chief of This Is […]
This time of year, my craving for a refreshing, healthy salad is just about insatiable. And while I can’t live without the go-to kale or arugula variety, a weeklong marathon of the same salad on repeat usually has me longing for something other than leafy greens and veggies topped with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Enter my […]
Happy Easter, friends! Hope you’re all having a lovely day filled with sweet things and sunshine. We’re spending the day with our families, and since Phoebe’s still the only grandchild on both sides (for 6 more weeks!), it’ll be all about her solo egg hunts. Which she doesn’t mind a bit, since it means she […]
We first featured Timothy Corrigan‘s spectacular eye-for-design a couple years ago when we shared his holiday entertaining style at the fabulously renovated Château du Grand-Lucé in France (a post with such grandeur, I find myself revisiting it for inspiration way too often.) A few months later, we travelled back to the Loire Valley for another taste […]
