*photos by ashleigh amoroso The excitement is still going strong after last week’s announcement about my new gig as Target’s entertaining expert, and we’re kicking things off today with the inspiration behind the spring brunch we hosted together in LA — and of course, all the tips and shopping sources you need to recreate the […]
When interior designer Allison Crawford returned from a recent birthday spent in Paris, she couldn’t wait to invite her best girlfriends over to share all the highlights from the trip. Allison’s downtown Austin loft apartment is a lot like her designs — bright, sophisticated, with a healthy dose of seventies glam. We met up with Allison and […]

Spring has sprung, and I couldn’t be more excited! This season always fills me with a sense of fresh beginnings, and this year is no exception. It feels like so many women I know are expecting or have new little ones in their households. When I was a baby, my mom decked out my nursery in Peter […]
Australia is having a major moment around our office lately. It seems like just about every new food trend, cool girl fashion label, and design-forward boutique hotel we talk about just happens to come from down under, so much so that we’ve even coined a new phrase: “That’s so Aussie.” In case you’re wondering, we mean it as […]
Morning, friends! It’s been a couple weeks since our last edition of Weekend Notes — if you’ve been following on Insta, you’ve seen that things have been a little SXSW crazy around here and it’s been a constant juggle of work and kids and festival. Yesterday was the grand finale, and we soaked up the sunshine, […]
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 […]
photos by mary costa I sometimes say that I’m a California girl, even though I wasn’t born there and have never actually lived there (is that weird?) It’s more wishful thinking than anything else; every time my flight touches down in LA, or San Diego, or San Francisco (I could go on and on… California […]
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 […]
“Seriously dip almost anything in this beet hummus, put it on top of a salad, add it to a sandwich, the list goes on. If you ever find yourself reaching for a sugar filled snack or even hitting the vending machine when you need a little something in between meals, try this recipe out!” — […]
When we announced our wellness-focused blog makeover last year, we knew it would bring with it all sorts of wonderful surprises. Since then, we’ve all become a bit more mindful, experimented in the kitchen more, and have been exercising more regularly (give yourselves a pat on the back, ladies). But perhaps the best change of all that’s come […]
I’m sure many of y’all have heard of the cheekily-named “Engagement Roast Chicken” that’s reported to be so good, any man will fall in love on the spot. All due respect to Ina, but I’ve got my own chicken recipe that’s equally simple to make and, thanks to it’s crispy exterior and gorgeous presentation, even more effective at convincing […]
