It’s the fastest 2 minutes in sports, but that doesn’t mean a derby party can’t last all day. We’ve created a ton of Kentucky Derby party ideas over the years, and this spring we thought we’d round up a few of our favorites for your last-minute watch party needs. If there’s one thing we love about the derby, […]
Your bags are packed, auto-responder turned on, and the countdown to that long-awaited vacation has begun; it’s true that there’s nothing like a summertime getaway to inspire major excitement. But sometimes my intentions to unplug and truly relax don’t quite pan out, i.e. those times when I feel like I need a vacation to destress […]
It’s practically a law that every woman should have a little black dress in her closet, but I think a white lace-y one also deserves must-have status. While sometimes considered a delicate piece reserved for special occasions, by styling your frock with laid-back jackets or casual shoes, you can achieve a variety of different looks. Pair it with a […]
Floor length is bad. Whatever you do, don’t do stripes. You’ll never wear it again. There’s never been a shortage of strong opinions when it comes to the sometimes scary world of maternity wear. Our favorite aunts, sisters, and friends certainly mean well (even Grandma has an opinion!) but more often than not their advice is skewed […]
*ed note: This week’s edition of Pulling It Off was inspired by a personal wardrobe challenge. Like the rest of the planet, I’ve started wearing sneakers with just about every type of outfit, except for one that has continue to stump me: skirts!

Think about it: Cara and Poppy, Zooey and Emily, Mary Kate and Ashley, Bey and Solange… the list goes on. Well today, we’re adding Kate and Meg to their ranks. As […]
If you’re one of those people who always plans to take a night class or attend a workshop, but ultimately you remember that your favorite show just landed on Netflix and opt to just stay in and order Thai food…you’re not alone. But given that the summer is looming and 2017 is almost halfway done, […]
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 […]
ed note: Spring has officially sprung, and with it, my favorite shopping season of the year. Bring on the breezy sundresses, straw hats, and perfect sandals! Of course, a new season is also the perfect time to break out of our comfort zones and try out styles we may not have worn in the past, […]
image from cali vintage When my sister asked if I wanted to do Whole30 with her this past August, my knee-jerk reaction was “No way, not another diet!” While I’m still figuring out what works best for me nutritionally — it changes daily based on what my body needs — I am 100% confident that […]
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?)
