In an ideal world, we’d all start the day with a sweat session (and maybe a make-out) that left our faces glowing with the rosiness of freshness and youth. If you’re like me however, most mornings the flush is found with a little well-placed blush swirled on the apples of my cheeks, and my beauty […]
My desert island beauty product (as in, I only get to bring one) would have to be body lotion. The mere thought of getting out of the shower and not slathering it from head to toe makes me cringe, but just try putting on one of the watery trial sizes in a hotel bathroom and you’ll […]
If there’s one culinary lesson I learned from our trip to Tuscany, it’s that the simplest dishes are often the best. Of course, when you’re working with a tiny ingredient list, a recipe is only as good as the quality of those ingredients, so the time to make this spaghetti dinner is when tomatoes are practically […]
In our fantasies, summer is a romantic, glamorous season, filled with long, golden days and not a cloud in sight. Our limbs are tan and glowing, our hair tumbles in mermaid waves, and there’s never, ever a mosquito or the presence of sweat-inducing humidity. The reality? Not so much. Yes, summer is glorious, but it […]
It’s no secret that I’m a major rosé fan – my Instagram feed is like a Where’s Waldo of pink wine with bottles and glasses peeking out of perhaps a few too many shots. And come summer, the only thing that makes a chilled glass of rosé even better is when it’s frozen (i.e. frosé) and we just […]
I’ve finally become part of the smart grown-up women’s club that swears by wearing sunscreen every day. Sure, I sort of tried to say for years that I “always wore sunscreen,” but in hindsight, the meager amounts of SPF 15 that I put on selective body parts only in all-day blazing sun doesn’t really count. It wasn’t […]
It’s officially time for summer entertaining! To kick off the festivities, I recently hosted a backyard BBQ with Target complete with fajitas and veggies on the grill, the cutest tabletop decor, and spiked rainbow snowcones. You can check out all the details from the party right over here, and watch the video above to get tips on how […]
I’ve always been a total summer girl, and my favorite moments of the season are backyard barbecues with friends and family: burgers on the grill, lemonade in hand, and everyone’s moods as sunny as the Austin weather forecast. With Father’s Day around the corner and an entire season devoted to outdoor entertaining ahead, our latest […]
The idea of toting a straw bag to the beach is nothing new. This year, however, we’re seeing woven bags venture out of the sand and into, well, just about everywhere. From dressier clutches to casual cross-bodies, it seems all our favorite bag shapes have been given beachy make-unders that make them perfect for summer […]
Summer is definitely my favorite time of year: beach trips and endless hours spent outside are just a couple of the reasons I wish the season could last forever. Another thing that makes summer summer is the bounty at the farmers market, which I frequent at least once a week. I cannot get enough! Right now is the best […]
From Bonni: “I love this raw corn summer salad because it is so refreshing! Feel free to add whatever seasonal veggies are available. You can certainly make this ahead of time and keep refrigerated, but I suggest adding the okra right before you serve because it can get slimy.” Read the full story here: Entertaining With […]
It’s that time of year when I always start to feel a little nostalgic that the summer is passing by so quickly — and with it comes a desperation to eat as many tomatoes, peaches, and watermelon as is humanly possible while they’re still around! There are certain fruits and vegetables that are only good in […]
