It’s an unspoken truth: when your birthday falls on the weekend, getting a year older is something to be celebrated. But when it falls on the middle of the week, well, it can be a bit of a bummer. Around these parts, however, we believe it doesn’t have to be that way. So when we realized that sweet Carmen had a birthday […]
Why wait for Memorial Day? Here at the CS office, we say summer starts on May 5, and Cinco de Mayo may be our all-time favorite holiday. We’ll do anything for a mouth-watering margarita on a warm spring day, and can’t get enough of Mexican-inspired ruffled tops and embroidered blouses. After hearing about Jenn’s recent vacation to Hotel […]
Here in Austin, it feels like we just made a beeline straight from winter temps right into bikini weather (Spring? What Spring?) Although this heat-loving south Texas girl doesn’t mind the quick transition, as I shop for my new swimsuit in March, I’m reminded that it’s time to spring clean my diet a bit. When you come from a […]
We’ve always known that great style runs in the family, but these days, it truly feels like every great trendsetter has an equally chic sister counterpart. Think about it: Cara and Poppy, Zooey and Emily, Mary Kate and Ashley, Bey and Solange… the list goes on. Well today, we’re adding Kate and Meg to their ranks. As […]
Can you believe Monday is the official first day of spring?! Granted, here in Texas, winter only lasts about a month, but as the weather warms back up I find myself starting to crave crisp salads and colorful fruit. Plus, spring’s arrival always inspires me to check in on my New Years resolutions, and this year I’m determined to cook more […]
We first met Cristina Lynch when she hosted a Mi Golondrina trunk show in Austin, and we instantly fell in love with the designer’s handcrafted Mexican dresses. She has incredible personal style, which (like her designs) reflects her Mexican heritage through a modern lens. Talking with Cristina, you get a sense that her perspective is rooted in […]

Known for their real food and good vibes, the restaurant is the only place in Austin where you can grab bone broth or […]
Whether they’re lined up in a patch, decorating the front porch or making their way into your recipes, nothing announces the arrival of fall quite like pumpkins, and chances are, they’re finding their way into your celebrations one way or another this season. If pumpkins have historically been relegated to your pie recipes and PSL orders, this […]
If you couldn’t tell from Instagram, half of our team is officially OOTO this week. In honor of Chanel’s wedding weekend (eep!) Jenn Rose, Chanel, and Camille are each on individual European adventures. Jenn Rose has been gallivanting across Budapest, Chanel is wining and dining in France, and Camille is preparing for her trip to […]
We’ve had a serious girl crush on Sarah Yates Mora ever since she was the editor of our “super foodie” column long ago. The girl has major style — she can somehow make anything (like, even vacuuming the house while pregnant) look incredibly chic and stylish. So obviously we were over the moon when she […]
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 […]
Do you ever feel bummed when a meal is over? That’s me about seventy-five percent of the time, partially because I’m so enthusiastic about what I’m eating that I simply never want it to end, but mostly because I ate it hurriedly and only halfway remembered to enjoy it. Does anyone else experience this? Since most of us are flying […]
