The Things You Can Buy Locally

IN the vein of all the things I would have bought, there are two local Austin shopping events this weekend that I’m pretty excited about, and you should check out if you’re in town. Shaybazaar is a new site for ethically-sourced, handmade items. Kitty Cohen’s, if you’ve never been, is worth the visit alone: it’s…

The Things I Probably Would Have Bought

During my austerity experiment aka spending ban, here are all the things I probably would have bought—and a couple of confessions! Another set of amazing Costco bath sheet towels, because I don’t wash mine enough (so soft, so good, ON SALE for only $26!) Supps from The Genius Brain (should that have counted as food?)…

Austin: Damn Comfortable Texas Boots

Confession: I do not own cowboy boots. Yep, grew up in the Lone Star state. These are the boots I will buy, when they are available: They are from a new Austin-based company called Chisos that is run by a solo dude named Will who is—and I haven’t met him, so this is internet persona…

Sozy Babes

Warning: we’re approaching cropped tie-front button-down tank top overload. BUT it’s gonna be summer forever in Austin so I’m buying another one and I don’t care. It’s an awesome color and I already love the fit of my other Sozy cropped tie-front button-down tank top plus it’s got different buttons and is slightly different so…

UPDATE! This suit is back and available here. Y’all. Putty. It’s not white, it’s not gray*, it’s the best summer color ever. White is so … white. Putty is super fresh, less prissy, and all around utilitarian and sexy. So. This suit set is from Elizabeth & Clarke’s summer suiting box. It’s available here, and…

Gettin’ Chakra’d with Essential Oils

Yoga is important to me from a physical and mental standpoint, but I admit I haven’t much gotten into the chakra part of yoga. I know the 7 chakras and I love when teachers bring them into class, but my own study has been minimal. So when Plant Therapy reached out and asked if I…

Flamin’ Hot Forever 34

Today, Forever 21 launches a collab with CHEETOS. Friggin’ Flamin’ Hot Cheetos! My most favorite terrible-for-you food in the whole world. And the goods are actually cute! I am dying … I can’t tell if I’m excited or embarrassed to be so excited. CHEESY but hilarious. I am definitely too old for any of this……

‘kini update: two new fave brands

The last time I rounded up bikinis was a long time ago—and considering I lived at the beach for five years and was in a ‘kini at least 3 or 4 days a week, I’m basically an expert. I don’t live by the beach anymore, but am still just as obsessed with swimsuits! Have even…
