It’s officially summer, which means that along with ditching my wine lipsticks and heavy foundation, I’ve officially waved goodbye to my blowdryer for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, however, my hair doesn’t necessarily behave when I let it air-dry; without a little product, my locks somehow end up looking both flat and frizzy. How is that […]
Happy weekend, friends! What have y’all been up to?

We’re all about updo’s during the summer here in Austin, but when it comes to weddings and more formal events, the plain ol’ messy top knot doesn’t feel quite right. So we asked stylist Erica Rae to help us come up with a great “guest-of” solution that will get us through those hot outdoor ceremonies without […]

Do any of y’all share my desire to accessorize just about everything? I can’t stand the thought of an iPhone without a cool case or a day planner without a pretty cover. But when packing for my last adventure abroad, I realized that my travel accessories are all either black, brown, or navy! Where’s the fun in that? With upcoming summer getaways on […]
