in partnership with Blue Diamond Almonds // photos by kristen kilpatrick Let’s get one thing straight: I’ll never turn my back on avocado toast. But every now and then, even the most die-hard avo-toast fan needs to expand her horizons, and given how quickly the green fruit turns brown, everyone’s favorite trendy toast doesn’t exactly make for the best party food. Today’s […]
You may remember Anna Crelia and Rhoda Brimberry from a couple years back when we interviewed them for our Besties series. Since then, these sisters-in-law turned business partners have been growing Loot Vintage Rentals to become Texas’ largest vintage rental and event styling company. We’ve been lusting after their chic, refurbished finds for years and now […]
Self care can mean a lot of things, but for a beauty junkie, it often means one thing in particular: doing a face mask. Sure, there can be a bubble bath (or wine!) involved, but at the bare minimum, a treatment that’s left on skin for ten to fifteen minutes can feel downright luxurious on […]
I caught the premiere of David Gordon Green’s Manglehorn during SXSW in 2014. (I remember spending a good part of the day waiting in the long line that wrapped around the Paramount theater to get in.) Turns out that Shane and Anna were there, too — they had met two years earlier by chance on the […]
You’ve graduated, worked internships, maybe even freelanced. But how do you make the jump to actually start your career and find a job with zero experience under your belt? It’s a common issue – while you may have excelled at school, once you’ve dropped off the cap and gown, you’ve got a nearly blank resumé. But […]

We’re fine with forgoing many of the Valentine’s clichés, but the one tradition that never goes out of style is indulging in a chocolate-covered strawberry (or 5) every season. There’s just something about the sweet and decadent combination of fresh strawberries and rich chocolate that sparks a little romance, plus, fruit is healthy, right? Since many store-bought […]
I love a good awards show, but let’s be honest: it’s really all about the red carpet, amiright? This year I’m getting a few girls together for the ultimate Sunday Funday with fun cocktails, easy make-your-own flatbreads, and a few rounds of “Red Carpet Bingo” to spark some friendly competition. For this party, we teamed up […]
This year, Valentine’s Day is on a Tuesday. Talk about inconvenient! After spending all day at work, the last thing we want to do is get all gussied up and go out to dinner with our beaus at an overcrowded restaurant. So this year, we’re staying in. A home cooked meal, a refreshing bottle of champagne, […]
Have you purchased gifts for everyone on your list? Me neither. But I promise I’ll get it done this week. Then once I’ve found something perfect for all my friends and family, that’s when the real fun starts. There’s nothing I love more than playing with color, pattern and texture through gift wrapping. And whether you package all of […]
Last week, we got into a heated conversation about holiday cards (well, it was about as heated as a conversation about holiday cards can be.) It basically came down to each of us in the office being at different life stages — from being married-with-children to fresh in a new relationship — and because of that, […]
So there’s this largely forgotten film from 1999 called Bowfinger. Seen it? In the film, Eddie Murphy’s character, Kit Ramsey, has issues. Loads of them. But whenever he’s spiraling towards a breakdown, Kit’s therapist suggests he calm himself by repeating a personal mantra: “Keep it together. Keep it together. Keep it together.” K-I-T. I have a point, I swear. Crafting […]
