6 Ways To Help Texans Affected By Hurricane Harvey

image via lazywoodlane I was born in Houston, and I’ve always maintained a certain level of pride for my state. It’s fun to play up our stereotypes when the rodeo comes to town — that’s when we feel most Texan — and you can bet we love our BBQ, our country music, and our football […]

The Architect and the Collector

When Sharon met Paul Mrozinski in 1977, neither one of them knew that their lives would be changed forever. A small disaster involving a collapsed driveway initially brought them together, but it’s their uncanny ability to work creatively side-by-side that has made them inseparable ever since. Sharon (a designer and antique dealer) and Paul (an architect) […]

What You Should Be Doing During a Non-Election Year

When I interviewed Naomi Wolf via phone, it was less than a week before the terrible events in Charlottesville rocked our nation. We were already looking for ways to use our platform to become more informed and involved citizens, and when Naomi agreed to an interview we jumped at the opportunity. It’s not every day we get to speak […]

Has Millennial Pink Jumped the Shark?

First we called it “blush”, then we called it “Acne Pink” (after the clothing studio nailed the shade with their signature shopping bags). Finally, the internet decided that this shade demanded it’s own hashtag: meet #millennialpink.  If design history has taught us anything, it’s that when a single color becomes ubiquitous across fashion, interiors, and graphic design, it’s destined to […]

Weekend Notes

Follow along on our adventures right here, and keep scrolling for my favorite links from around the web this week! xo […]

Weekend Notes

  Morning, friends! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far. Yesterday we took a long walk downtown, picked up smoothies with the kids, went to the planetarium, then Adam and I snuck away for dinner just the two of us, popping into a couple new-to-us bars then walking over to Kuneho for a sushi […]

In Love with the Drummer

Beth Herget and Charlotte Cauwe both have creative industry dream jobs: Beth’s a buyer for Madewell and Charlotte’s an off-the-charts cool jewelry designer. So the fact that these two gorgeous and successful creatives are also totally in love seems almost unfair. Together they’ve built a beautiful life in Brooklyn (along with one very cute cat). To say that […]

Weekend Notes

*photo from look linger love’s gorgeous harbor island “coral house” Happy weekend, friends! Hope y’all are soaking up the sunshine and Sunday vibes today. I did a double take when I looked at the calendar earlier and realized that August is right around the corner — only a few more weeks to enjoy the beauties of […]

How To Build A Morning Routine

Living kindly. Let’s talk about this for a second. I get asked quite a bit, What does living kindly mean? And the truth is, living kindly means something different for everyone. When I started this column two years ago, the focus was sharing my weight loss story, and how I made a pact to be […]

4 Reasons You Should Try Something New Today

I love a good routine. As I write this, I’m sitting on our back patio with a cup of coffee (steamed almond milk and a dash of honey per usual) and my laptop, having completed my skincare routine, popped my vitamins, and done a quick meditation. Just like I do every single morning. Studies have shown […]

Magic and the Movie Set

I caught the premiere of David Gordon Green’s Manglehorn during SXSW in 2014. (I remember spending a good part of the day waiting in the long line that wrapped around the Paramount theater to get in.) Turns out that Shane and Anna were there, too — they had met two years earlier by chance on the […]

Why You Should Be Procrastinating More

Confession: before I sat down to write this post, I hopped up and made myself a cup of coffee. Then I posted a couple images to my Instagram stories. Just when I thought I was ready to settle in and start writing, I remembered a text message that needed a response. And finally – here we […]

Weekend Notes

Happy weekend, friends! On Friday, my phone accidentally got run over by a car (seriously), so the last couple days have become an unintentional digital detox. I’ve got to admit, I’m thinking about making it a regular thing — it’s been so nice to not feel shackled to my phone, and to not give into […]

Weekend Notes

Happy Summer Sunday, friends! We dove headfirst in the work week after getting back from our Italy travels, and though I was so happy to be home, it was tough to get back in the swing of things work-wise. The weekend came just in the nick of time to provide us with the unscheduled carefree summer […]

My June 2017 Reading List

Greetings, fellow bookworms! I’ve got some real gems for June, starting with the must-read memoir that was released today… and ending with my current read that promises to make me more self-aware. There’s also the world’s most gorgeous cookbook and a brand new issue of my favorite print mag. I’m currently in Italy soaking up some major […]

Weekend Notes

Morning y’all, happy holiday weekend! We’ve already been soaking it up in a major way around here: yesterday was hiking and farmer’s market and rosé by the pool and trying out a new eggplant recipe on the grill (so good – can’t wait to share the recipe with you guys.) Can’t believe that my birthday […]

7 Ways to Support the Women Around You

Though the past year has been full of political and cultural uncertainty, for me, a major silver lining of it all is that it’s awoken so many women (myself included) to the fact that we’ve still got to fight for each other. For a lot of my life, I thought that “feminism” wasn’t all that necessary […]
