Happy weekend, friends! Hope y’all are all enjoying that extra hour of sleep this morning. Phoebe came downstairs and climbed under the covers with us at 6:15am, but when I remembered that I’d actually gotten a full night’s sleep thanks to Daylight Savings, I hopped out of bed and was glad to get an early start […]

Known for their real food and good vibes, the restaurant is the only place in Austin where you can grab bone broth or […]
Take a drive down South Congress past the historic photo ops and crowded restaurants and you’ll spot The Infinite Monkey Theorem, an urban winery owned by Colorado natives Meredith and Aaron Berman. These two partners in life and in business make their wine out of a warehouse in South Austin, and their brand’s most sought after product […]
Last month I gathered with a group of friends and fashion-lovers 30 minutes outside Austin in the country at Green Acres. The plan was to meet at the home of Kirsten Dickerson, owner of ethical fashion and lifestyle brand Raven + Lily, for an evening to celebrate slow food, slow fashion, and thoughtful living. Though the concept […]
Happy Halloween weekend, y’all! So far, ours has been very full of frightful festivities: front porch decorating, last-minute costumes, and a few more cocktails than usual (and I may have downed two handfuls of candy corn at 1am last night. ugh.) Between all the revelry, I did have time to round up lots of links for you this […]
I think artwork is something that a lot of people struggle with when it comes to interiors. A space doesn’t feel finished without it, yet it’s hard to know where to start. For millennials who are used to turning to the web as a first line shopping resource, options in the past have been… frustrating. […]
“Meet cutes” don’t get much cuter than the story of restaurant owners Gary and Jessica P. Wu. The two were living in New York when a rainy day (and a little bit of fate) brought them together at the ACE Hotel. We met up with the couple at their new restaurant General Tso’Boy at the Domain Northside to […]
Editor’s note: Daphne Oz first captured our hearts with her inspiring cookbook, Relish, but it wasn’t until we featured her as part of our “Entertaining With” series that we officially wanted to sign up to be besties with the award-winning TV personality and chef. So when we got wind that Daphne’s new cookbook, The Happy Cook, was […]
My favorite stories in our Entertaining With series have one thing in common: when the hostess is having every bit as much fun as her guests, it shows. After many mutual friends told us we had to meet, Juice Society founder Danielle Sobel and I finally bonded over omelettes at Elizabeth Street Café, and I was immediately impressed by […]
So there’s this largely forgotten film from 1999 called Bowfinger. Seen it? In the film, Eddie Murphy’s character, Kit Ramsey, has issues. Loads of them. But whenever he’s spiraling towards a breakdown, Kit’s therapist suggests he calm himself by repeating a personal mantra: “Keep it together. Keep it together. Keep it together.” K-I-T. I have a point, I swear. Crafting […]
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 […]
Morning friends — happy weekend! After an action-packed work week, we’re savoring the loveliest low-key weekend around here. On Friday, Adam and I found ourselves with an impromptu kid-free evening, and I’d forgotten how much I love a cozy date night at home. We made this burrata salad, followed by poké bowls, shared a bottle of rosé […]
