“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 […]
Last April I started to feel really disconnected from my healthy lifestyle. You know those days (or even weeks) when everything just feels off and you can’t pinpoint why? It was weird. I wasn’t looking forward to my beloved morning workouts — they felt more like a chore than something that would make me feel […]
Here at CS, we’re officially obsessed with the idea of a “signature home scent.” All of our favorite hotels have one, and even some of our favorite stores too. Try as we might, we’ve never been able to master the consistent home fragrance. For years we’ve heard rumors that the commercial spaces we admire have special electronic systems […]
The idea of “being green” can sometimes seem a little intimidating. Most of the tips I read about in magazines and on blogs feature out-of-reach goals that are both time consuming and unrealistic for my lifestyle. But after realizing in recent months how much paper, glass, and energy I have been wasting, I decided it was […]
It was just over 50 years ago when a record-breaking 73 million Americans tuned into the Ed Sullivan show to watch the live debut of a Britain band who called themselves the Beatles. Soon, lives everywhere would be changed forever and especially so for young and impressionable teenage girls. As pictures from concerts surfaced, mobs […]
I can’t think of a more fitting subject to cap-off a sunshine and rosé-filled summer than the queen of pink wine herself, Joey Wolffer, who co-owns her family’s namesake vineyard and has helped turn it into the liquid accessory of the summer. Speaking of accessories, Joey also runs The Styleliner, a mobile fashion truck that features independent […]
Morning y’all! Checking in with a short post today — I’m a little jet-lagged and also wanting to spend every waking second with Phoebe and Henry this weekend after being in Europe for 8 days (and traveling for 24 hours to make it back to Austin.) If you’ve been following on Instagram, then you got a few […]
