Don’t we all need a little more zest in our lives during these grey winter months? As I perused this week’s idyllic Monochromatic Monday, I felt that much-needed burst of brightness through the screen and craved citrus in my own personal palate. The bitter-sweet hints of oranges, limes and the like are simply irresistible, especially when […]
Some days just beg you to get outdoors, don’t they? We’ve been having an unusually warm winter here, and it has a lot of people complaining about the record high temps during what are supposed to be the chillier months. But honestly: we live in Southern California… winter is not part of the deal. Personally, I’m […]
Do you guys have a Super Bowl food tradition? Maybe a chili bar with all the toppings, burgers on the grill, or that perennial football favorite, chicken wings? If I had my pick of all the traditional game day grub, I’d personally pass on the greasiness and go straight for the TACOS – that perfect […]
With just 11 weeks until this little girl’s due date, January is shaping up to be a busy month! Between styling projects, blog shoots, and working on this little one’s nursery, it feels like I’m constantly out shopping these days.

These days I do most of my […]
Once summer has arrived full force in Austin, we don’t have much of a choice but to spend the majority of our time outside swimming. Be it at a natural swimming hole or a private pool, it’s an absolutely vital part of any summer get-together. That said, when I think of the ultimate in poolside […]
A Long Weekend. Is there any happier phrase in the English language? As much as we love our jobs and what we get to do every day…we think not! Long weekends are all about relaxing, reflecting and recharging. (And they seem to come round right when you really need one, don’t they?) Before we head […]
How do we love tacos? Let us count the ways… but then again, it’s virtually impossible to quantify. With Cinco de Mayo just two days away, we thought we’d dust off our recipe collection for some of our all time favorites. If you’re entertaining this Sunday (or any time this summer), we love the idea […]
