Y’all are going to get a major dose of Cinco de Mayo inspiration from us this week, and it kicks off today with this colorful fiesta potluck that I hosted for a few friends last week. The vibrant tabletop and festive vibe were inspired by the array of Cholula bottles on the table — we incorporated my favorite hot sauce […]
Happy Monday! We’re kicking off the week with a, well, major kick. Do y’all remember my Mexican Street Corn that I posted a couple years back? It’s a classic at our house every summer, and to me, the recipe is perfection. With one caveat, that is: everyone ends up with aioli on their fingers and corn in their teeth […]
I read an article once in “The Age Issue” of Vogue featuring a very stylish over-sixty living in New York. When asked what fashion advice she would give a woman in her early twenties, she didn’t miss a beat: “Put on a bikini and don’t take it off until you’re 35.” The cold hard truth […]
Adam and I have been wanting to get bikes for ages — we’ve rented them on vacation and ridden from Venice Beach to Malibu and to see volcanic rock in Maui, and it always makes for one of the most memorable part of a trip. So we finally took the plunge and ordered two classic cruisers from […]
Mornin’, friends! Hope you’re having a great weekend so far. Life has been speeding by so quickly lately in such a blur of busyness that I’ve been making an effort on the weekends to slow it all down a little. Which means that I’m intentionally leaving blocks of our time unscheduled to make room for things like laying […]
You guys know I’m a bit of a beauty product junkie, and for the most part, I’ve tried it all. Sheet masks, color-correcting primers, setting sprays, contouring sticks, plumping lip glosses; you name it, it’s probably been in my makeup drawer at one time or another. The one makeup innovation I’d never tried? Airbrush foundation. […]
As we say goodbye (and good riddance!) to the long winter, I’m probably not the only one who’s thinking about getting a little healthier for swimsuit season spring. I’ve got to admit that a crazy schedule last month (blame it on SXSW) caused me to neglect my workout routine and consume a few too many breakfast […]
I can still remember looking out the window of my childhood home and recognizing a certain quality of light that meant my mother would come looking for me soon. It was naptime light — the hot, still, mid-afternoon light of a Texas summer. As a child, this specific lighting would often inspire me to hide […]
Lately, things have been really busy around here. Most of you already know I work for one of the largest creative festivals in the world (SXSW) and for the next few weeks, finding time to take care of anything outside of work is tough. As I type this, we are exactly four days out from […]
If you ask me, off-the-shoulder tops never went out of style. Much like wide leg jeans, I’ve always thought the cut to be ultra stylish and flattering, and even though mainstream fashion is just telling us to love them right now, I’ll forever have a place in my heart for the look. Not only does an off-the-shoulder […]
There are two types of exercisers: the lone wolf, and the groupie. While I totally identify as the former (having friends around while I work out is distracting to me!), I know plenty of people whose fitness routines thrive when they have a familiar face around for encouragement. Sound like you? If so, bookmark these exercises, call […]
When it comes to beauty, it’s often true that we always want what we weren’t naturally born with, and that would certainly explain my lifelong obsession with full, shapely brows. Back in junior high, when pencil thin brows had a short moment in the sun, all my barely-there brows needed was a quick visit with the […]
