I’m excited to be moving forward with volume 2 of my new series, Fashion + Food + Film. To catch you up, be sure to read the premiere post of how this series concept started here! This time, I’m delving into one of my favorite modern films, Midnight in Paris, and reviewing a bit of […]
While wine rules most evenings in our house, once summer arrives I’m ready to start sipping something different. I look for easy summer cocktails that elevate an ordinary home patio or (inflatable) pool and transport me, at least mentally, to a relaxing resort oasis. There are a lot of easy summer cocktail recipes out there […]
Father’s Day is coming up and with slower than usual shipping times, I wanted to get a gift guide out to you guys with plenty of time to order. Why is shopping for dad so hard? I honestly think dads just want to be left alone on Father’s Day. I mean, give the guy some […]
Today is an exciting day here at Cathedrals & Cafes! I’m launching a new blog series called Fashion + Food + Film, where I’ll be combining my love for clothes, a good meal, and a fun movie. We came up with this idea a couple weeks ago, and you could say it’s probably a direct […]
Another month spent staying at home meant another month where we binged a lot of movies and shows. Check out everything we binged in April here! I don’t really like calling our situation a quarantine, because technically that’s not what it is. But that seems to be the standard term these days for staying at […]
Last summer I really got more into wearing a hair scarf. Being able to just sweep your hair up fast and still look put together was really important to me, especially as we spent five days on a sailboat in Croatia with limited space. It was also pretty hot, so wearing my hair up was […]
It’s officially summer and I’m here to help you make pour decisions with an unstuffy summer wine guide! And surprisingly, this post is not all about rosé (although judging by my love of Josh Cellars Rosé in these photos, I could easily do that). I compiled a list to guide you through summer no matter […]
There are some amazing sales going on for Memorial Day, so I thought I’d save you all the time spent hunting, and round them up for you in one place to shop. I’ve organized all the Memorial Day sales alphabetically by Clothing & Accessories, Beauty, and Home & Home Decor. Plus, I’ve listed everything that […]
With all this extra time at home, I’ve been doing some home organization. You can check out my latest pantry project here. This week I tackled my bathroom and let’s just say it was long overdue. Ordinarily I’m pretty organized but over the course of many days of hastily getting dressed or packing quickly, I’ve […]
Every year I make a cake for our girls’ birthdays. Last weekend we celebrated Lola’s first birthday and I made a simple boxed vanilla cake. I love to bake but I’m no Ina Garten. That being said, I do want it to taste good and I find that most boxed cake mixes these days are […]
Last weekend our little baby Lola turned a year old, and I can’t believe it! Where does the time go? Since you only turn one once, I wanted Lola’s first birthday to be nothing short of beautiful and sweet just like she is. I did my best to make the celebration as festive as possible, […]
There are two things I always buy for every summer season – new swimsuits and new sunglasses. A new pair of sunnies is almost like a new pair of shoes to me. They completely transform an outfit and can make a well-loved wardrobe feel fresh and new again. I was invited to check out the […]
Scrolling through Instagram the other day, I realized that I have never actually done a post on my favorite accessory – the handbag! I get more comments and questions about my bags and shoes on social media than anything else, which makes sense because that’s where I spend most of my money. To me, they’re […]
Hi, friends! I hope you all are well and managing things as best as possible. I’m back today talking about Mother’s Day. Holidays like this loom large in my heart these days because I can’t be with my family, and all I want is to be with them. You’ve probably seen my Elegant Mother’s Day […]
As we enter into our seventh full week of self-isolation and working from home due to Covid-19, my list of things I’m looking forward to after quarantine keeps growing. Having things to look forward to has always been a bit of a coping mechanism for me. When I was a child, any time I was […]
Mother’s Day is going to be hard this year. I know I won’t be able to see my mom, and as much as I enjoy FaceTime, it’s not the same thing. But, all this doesn’t mean that I won’t be sending something to show how much she means to me. There are a ton of […]
When it comes to entertainment, the inevitable question in our house every night is “what do you want to watch?” While millions of us are spending more time on our couches, I thought I would compile a list of everything we binged in April in case you’re running out of ideas yourself. Quarantine or not, […]
We live in the perfect road trip state. Texas has so many beautiful and topographically unique places to see. In the spring, we are blessed with an abundance of blooming wildflowers. It’s pretty much a tradition to hit the road and find some, along with fresh air and blues skies (we really need that right […]
These days, loungewear is the new black. If you’re tired of switching from your night pjs to your day pjs everyday, then this post is probably for you. I’ve been looking for ways to up my loungewear game ever since being confined at home. I just don’t feel productive in pajamas. Getting dressed is key […]
While travel may be put on hold for a while, it can be hard for those of us who spend a decent portion of our lives doing just that. It’s tough knowing when I may see some of my favorite places again. So what’s a travel blogger to do? I’ve been enjoying a little mental […]
