The Blog
Join us in the pursuit of the haute life with musings on our passions: fashion, beauty, motherhood, and San Antonio culture.
She’s my sister. I love my sister.
Raise your hand if you watched Barney as a kid. Come on, nobody can see, just raise your hand. That's what I thought. A lot of you. We were fairly addicted in our household as well, and one of the episodes we watched over and over again has two of the characters...
My feminist side.
I've always had a little feminist in me. I think when you grow up with a mother who is 6'3" and acts like it, you generally believe you can do anything you set your mind to, woman or not. My mom spoke her mind, held her head high, and wasn't afraid to conquer any...
You know you’re a mom when…
In the past few months, I feel like I've reached a new level in settling in to this mom thing. The first year or so for any new parent is, at least in my experience, kind of spent looking around with a wide-eyed, terrified look, wondering if your life is ever going to...
Photo Tour of our Dining Room Makeover
When I was younger, I always made fun of the kind of women who have towels you can't touch, couches you can't sit on, and rooms you're not allowed to walk in. Then I got a husband and a kid and I TOTALLY GET IT. You just want one thing to look like you've got it...
A Tale of Two Sexists
WARNING: It's about to get a little serious in here. Recently, my sister told me about an unpleasant encounter she had experienced at her college, Fairfield University. She walked into her Physics class, minding her own business, when the male professor asked her if...
My Other Kids
It's probably been difficult for you to read this blog and NOT know that I have a daughter, Cora, who is almost 2. But today I have something to confess: I have other children. One lives in Connecticut, two more live in Indiana, and another two live in Illinois. I...
A Little Bit of Me Time: Bar Louie Giveaway
When you find out you're expecting, one of the nuggets of advice everyone always imparts on you is that, as a mom, you should never be afraid to take a little me-time. It's good for the whole family if you're happy, they say. You deserve a little time to recharge,...
Sometimes They Surprise You
Yesterday Cora and I took a canoeing trip with my family in Indiana through Turkey Run State Park. My daughter inherited the valuable trait from her father that doesn't allow her to sit still for more than five minutes at a time without needing some sort of...
Go Mama Go Designs Giveaway!
When I was pregnant with Cora, I signed up for all kinds of giveaways and freebies for some things I genuinely wanted, and other things I just thought were pretty darn cool. I kind of wish I was pregnant now to get in on the deal that Go Mama Go Designs is offering...
The Leather Anniversary: Tough but Flexible
Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary, and even though Orlando says it's stupid to write out something to someone you are likely sitting right next to (which I'm not at the moment), I still want to take the time to put down on "paper" a small tribute to our three years...
Met Gala Madness
I'll be 100% honest with you. I didn't even remember the Met Gala was last night until I started flipping through my Instagram feed and was slapped in the face by Anna Wintour herself. Just kidding, but as a former fashion lover, it kind of felt like it. This...
Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood…
When Kelly and I first started Haute in Texas, we were both married, child-less, and new to the Texas lifestyle. Since then, she's packed up and moved back to her hometown of Atlanta with husband Drew, I gave birth to a child, and our lives became similar to Frost's...
