Among the interior design set, and in Austin especially, the name Katie Kime has been popping up a lot lately. So what’s all the buzz about?

Have you ever caught yourself having a serious moment of hair envy with a toddler? (Don’t worry, we won’t tell.)

The Most Romantic New Fragrances

I don’t think I’m alone in saying that Valentine’s Day can sometimes be anything but romantic. In my mind, a holiday that centers completely around men meeting impossibly high standards for romance in the middle of dreary February is just kind of unfair. However, even though most of us enlightened ladies know that Valentine’s Day […]

The Celtic Knot

We wanted to create an ambitious and romantic hairstyle for Valentine’s Day this year, and Erica Rae did not let us down with this incredible half-up look. As senior stylist at Roar Salon in Austin, Erica was able to dissect this complicated knot in no time. “It took me a couple of tries,” she laughs, […]

The Half Up Top Knot

Half-back looks are tricky — the danger being that barrettes can sometimes feel a bit juvenile. That said, we still love the feminine face-framing look of a good half-up ‘do. We consulted with senior stylist Erica Rae of ROAR Salon to learn her technique for wearing half-up hair that feels a lot more modern, and […]

The Best Cheek Stains and Balms for Winter

All of the “new year, new you” resolutions are well and good, except for one little thing: it’s the dead of winter, hardly the time when many of us are feeling motivated to become our very best selves by knocking back green juices and embarking on ten-mile runs. I prefer a shortcut to looking like […]

10 Best Timeless Watches

While I’m more of a minimalist when it comes to my jewelry, a simple wristwatch has played a recurring role in my daily accessorizing for years. I’ll be honest, at first I simply loved the way it looked, but once I got in the habit of casually glancing at my wrist to check the time […]

Into the Pale: Is Faux Tanning Over for Good?

At some point over the last decade I did a one-eighty regarding my perspective on  faux tanning… I can’t pinpoint the exact moment the shift occurred, but maybe it was when I picked up a copy of How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are. Or possibly when my remote made a most unfortunate stumble onto the […]

Flushed Winter Cheeks

Okay, so we absolutely love this fresh faced winter look (think J Crew catalog) but it’s a little bit scary attempting it on our own… One wrong move can leave us looking like Toddlers in Tiaras, and we’d prefer to keep our beauty pageant looks in the back of mom’s closet where they belong. Enter […]
