This is the first in our brand new “Passport to” series, where one of our favorite creative people invites us along on a visual tour of a fascinating destination. Rather than travel guides, these posts are meant to be mental escapes — a rare opportunity to let your mind drift far from home and allow yourself be swept […]
Explaining why Rachel Blumenthal is awesome in one short paragraph is no easy feat. With a stellar background in the fashion industry (think YSL and Rachel Leigh Jewelry and Warby Parker), it’s no surprise that the Manhattanite snagged a spot in the tastemaker hall of fame early on with a feature on The Coveteur. And since then? The mama to one […]
If it’s true that you are the company you keep, I want an invitation to join this friend group stat. Duffy Stone and Christy Curcuru are creative girls about town here in Austin, and since meeting just three years ago, the two have been practically inseparable. What keeps them close? A shared love for design, their […]
Have you noticed that Korean skincare products are having a major moment here in the US? As a bit of a beauty product junkie, I’m completely fascinated by the exotic-looking brands popping up on shelves from Sephora to Target these days. In case you haven’t noticed, Korean women seem to possess ageless, pore-less complexions that you just can’t argue […]
Don’t you just love May? For starters, in terms of holidays–Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day–there’s a little something for everyone. The weather is warm, but not yet scorching and the promise of an impending tropical getaway lingers in the air. Last week in L.A., however, the weather was doing its best late […]
The royal baby watch may be over, but it’s still going full force around here! Now that I’m in that window where it could actually happen any time, I find myself savoring all the things that will be few and far between with a new baby: sleep-filled nights, leisurely Saturdays in the pool, long restaurant brunches […]
When hosting a Cinco De Mayo fiesta, I think we can all agree that the key to success boils down to one ingredient…the cocktails! While there are plenty of staples that are almost required at a fiesta party…. chips and guac (or this healthy queso), a festive sombrero, Mexican embroidered dresses, even paper picados (make your own with this […]
“Rental kitchen.” Those two words can strike fear into the hearts of many renters. The kitchen can be one of the more restricting rooms in the house to decorate, depending on how obliging your landlord is, so it takes a special kind of ingenuity to show your personal style in a rental. Believe it or not […]
Around here, nothing’s more exciting than getting our hands on a new tech gadget, so when the Sprout by HP arrived on our office doorstep, we couldn’t unpack the thing fast enough. We’d read all about the revolutionary computer’s capabilities and seen lots of other creations by browsing the #sproutbyhp hashtag, but actually getting to use it […]
Okay guys, it’s go-time: I’m having a baby in just over 2 weeks, and the nursery is officially ready to welcome a boy! It seems surreal that we’re so close, but we’re also so excited about his arrival that I’d honestly be thrilled if I went into labor today. I can’t wait to meet this new little […]
This might sound crazy to some of you, but I’m one of those people who loves grocery shopping. There’s almost no way I’d rather spend an afternoon than perusing the produce, chatting with the guys in the fish market, studying wine labels, and choosing a new cheese to sample that night. The big problem? Between work, taking care […]
We’ve all seen the Turkish towels that seem to be on the shelves of nearly every major retailer. And if I’m being honest, until recently I didn’t see what the fuss was about… sure, they look pretty, but how can you call something a towel when it’s paper thin and hardly absorbent? Well, since getting my hands on […]
