Aren’t they just the cutest on little kids? When I saw these sweet designs on Etsy, I immediately bookmarked them for safekeeping.

I still love the older Knowles sister, but I have been developing a girl crush on her younger sis Solange. Her song “Losing You” has been in heavy rotation on my morning commute, and I want to go to one of her dinner parties after reading this Elle article. (Solange, if you’re reading this, can we be friends?!)

Have you heard of Royal Botanicals? It’s a line of small batch bath soaks by Brooklyn florist Ariel Dearie that just launched for Spring. Her flower arrangements are gorgeous, which makes me think these soaks with their organic essential oils will be heaven…

I just booked my first trip to Austin for the end of April and can’t wait for hot weather, lots of live music, and great food. The promise of citywide breakfast tacos sold me, but now that I’ve started my research I don’t know how I’ll be able to cram all the places I want to eat and things I want to do into four days. Papi Tino’s and Elizabeth Street Cafe are definitely on the list so far – do you have any favorite spots in Austin? Any must-do activities?
You know Erica as one half of the dynamic duo behind the uber-popular blog Honestly WTF. I know her as a former client {we worked with her on two past design ventures} and as a result, a dear friend. I couldn’t be happier for her with the runaway success of the site, and am thrilled to include her in our ongoing series, “What They’re Into”.
Today is also a big day for Erica, as her newest venture, Honestly YUM, launches! As Erica explains, she hopes the new site will “inspires readers to try out our seasonal food recipes, delightful libations, exciting culinary adventures, and festive DIYs.” Speaking for Ruby Press {an office of food-obsessed women!}, we couldn’t be happier.
Thanks Erica, for being a part of our blog and congrats on the new site! We love you! xx
Growing up living next door to my Japanese grandmother, ramen was a staple in my childhood diet. So you can imagine my excitement as I’ve seen the ramen craze catch on {with a bunch of great ramen houses popping up in the bay area!}. Earlier this week I finally stopped by Ramen Shop in Oakland, and somewhere between the jams {90′s hip hop} and the spicy miso broth, I fell in love. Can’t wait to go back! Do you have a favorite spot you care to share??

Have you seen our dear Sheridan on the cover of the March issue of Matchbook? So lovely and what a home!!
My family’s proclivity for gin and tonics means we’re all on a constant search for ways to improve our favorite summertime drink. My mom’s latest discovery, Jack Rudy Small Batch Tonic Syrup, is really shaking things up…especially when mixed with life-changing Sodastream sparkling water. I loved reading about the original Jack Rudy, great-grandfather of the company founders, pilot, inventor, and “marvelous” dancer. Next, I’m trying their Small Batch Grenadine, and making myself some very fancy Shirley Temples.
We’re moving to our new office in downtown Oakland today, and while we’ll miss our old office, we’re super excited to be in our gorgeous new space. Now for the unpacking…

We are all big fans of SF flower shop Studio Choo and their natural, free-form bouquets. So imagine our delight when we discovered they wrote a book on how to create beautiful arrangements in a range of styles. Look for The Flower Recipe Book to release in April!
