Lately I’ve started letting Phoebe “help out” in the kitchen: she was my devoted sous chef on last weekend’s pizza dough, and she singlehandedly added all the ingredients to a batch of zucchini muffins the other day. It definitely gets messy and undoubtedly takes longer than if I just cook something myself, but we have […]
I’ve never been to Ireland, but it’s high up there on my dying-to-go-there list. And even though this time of year, mention of Ireland elicits thoughts of four leaf clovers and leprechauns, I’ve got my sites set on seaside cliffs with lush landscapes, awe-inspiring castles and quaint Dublin pubs. So rather than choosing a less-than-subtle St. Patrick’s Day green […]
In college I was obsessed with the movie Almost Famous! Anyone else? My roommates and I even had a theme dress viewing party in our living room where I did my very best to channel my inner Kate Hudson. While my fall/winter style tends to be more east-coast-prep-meets-classic-californian, in the spring and summer it definitely […]
Despite the fact that I’ve always been a lover of all things beauty, I’ve never quite hopped on the professional mani-pedi train. I know that there are some women who thrive on the efficiency of the super-rushed, in-and-out NYC salon experience, but I usually find the whole thing uncomfortable, cramped, and bizarre. I usually sense that […]
photographed by jessica attie When we selected The Weston Dress by Isabel Marant Étoile for this installment of Double Take, we all agreed that the piece was fantastic — the fun bell sleeves, graphic print, and kimono shape make this mini dress one to covet. But how, we wondered, could such a bold statement dress […]
When I got married 5 years ago, I bypassed the special occasion china registry in favor of registering for a large selection of sturdy, everyday dishes. For me, it represented a future full of fun, casual gatherings surrounded by lots of people we loved — and it’s come true! Target’s newest campaign, “Be Yourself Together,” […]
Jeanine and Jack stick to the most important ingredients when it comes to making fresh meals in their kitchen: a lot of love and a squeeze of lemon to finish. On their award-winning food blog Love & Lemons, they dish out the type of delicious recipes that we always want to make (seriously, if this site isn’t […]
Adam and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary last June, and one thing I’ve learned over the years is the importance of showing little acts of romance — or even grander gestures once in awhile! It’s easy to become so comfortable with the person you wake up with each morning that you can forget to prioritize showing […]
With Valentine’s Day just a few weeks away, sweet treats, decadent chocolates, and dangerous indulgences are on our minds. And when tasked with whipping up a delicious and devilish Valentine’s treat, we knew that Libbie Summers — hostess with the mostess and author of Sweet and Viscous: Baking with Attitude — was the woman for the job. Keep reading […]
Gray skies, harsh winds, slushy streets…no offense, winter, but you ain’t the prettiest season there is. Once we get to January, I start to feel like I’ve lost my luster entirely. (Hey, a girl can only endure so many nights that start at 4:30 pm before she starts to forget what a summer breeze feels […]
We’ve all been there: a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear. Sure, we have that handful of staple pieces that we couldn’t possibly live without, but the rest of our wardrobes can go untouched for weeks, months, or even years. I personally found myself in a dire state of closet disrepair a few months ago, around the […]
You know that girl — the one in your facebook feed with impossibly good hair. In EVERY photo. She automatically seems more confident, more successful, and more put-together, because our hair has such a big impact on our overall appearance. Thick, shiny, richly hued hair is a symbol of youth and health, so there’s no […]
