My Friends Making Beautiful Jewelry

Talented artists, all. At a range of price points, you can support independent female artists (or curator) who I happen to know and love. Earthy: The Pointed Arrow / @thepointedarrow I absolutely adore Lily’s sense of style (mentioned here before), and her mountain boho aesthetic calls to me.

DIY: Updated Home Office Desk Table

I’m busy setting up my home office space in preparation for the big project I’m in the middle of launching right now. Instead of a traditional desk, I wanted a giant table so I could spread projects out. I went to the Habitat Restore and picked up a $25 table, then took to it with…

Make Your Necklaces into Headbands

I went to a tacky sweater party this weekend sans tacky sweater, so I knew I had to do something big to compensate. Out came the ever-useful gold pants and gold blazer, and with the addition of an art deco necklace worn as a headband, I was a smashing Christmas tree topper. You can use…

Wednesday Post-Work Agenda: 1) SHOP Join Austin designer Linda Asaf as she hosts her 4th Annual Austin Designer Sample Sale. Head to…

I’m a Halloweenie

Last year I couldn’t think of anything clever enough, so for Halloween I went as my dog. She’s white with a huge black spot on her eye, so I wore all white, painted a huge black spot on my eye, and wore her collar and leash around my neck (at least people got a kick…
