after exploring austin, we headed to Fredericksburg for our friends’ wedding.
we stayed at the Palo Alto Creek Farm, which was really, really lovely.
we went to a honky tonk to fete the happy couple the night before their wedding.
the wedding was held in a stone barn on the bride’s aunt’s land. It was really beautiful.
as a movie, kinda eh. but as a fashion and star vehicle for Michelle Pfeiffer and Eva Green it’s a grand slam.
Pfeiffer’s character is capable yet smoldering in elegantly riche bohemian shapes: velvets, long skirts, bell sleeves. Think a slightly more sedate Billy Gibb look.
While Green’s character, while (spoiler alert!) much older than Pfeiffer’s, looks to the future with Halston type suits and gowns.
costume designer Colleen Atwood did a fantastic job.
needs a good home! can you help me find one for her!

great interview with the super great Melanie Ward today on The Cut.
was amazing…and I’m finally posting about our trip.
Our first stop was Austin. It reminded me of college in Madison, Wi, where everyone tells you to hang out in one part of town, but eventually you find a cooler area on the east side you like much more. It also reminded me of Madison because I graduated from college ten years ago, and Austin prices on food and in bars are basically ten years ago prices:)
Texas kinda seduces you with all it’s western style. You find yourself thinking, yeah, I could totally use a pair of handmade cowboy boots. Or 20.
the food (and the company) was amazing. The salsa at El Chile is indelibly seared in my taste memory.
the happy couple, Hilary + Baker, took us around Austin.
there are tons of great places to have a drink outside in Austin. This one, Yellow Jacket Social Club, was one of my favorites, but this picture also makes me crack up because of the guy behind Isaac.
Hilary also took us through the show that she curated at the Lora Reynolds gallery, where she’s the director.
vintage abounds in Austin. this was at Charm School Vintage, where I scored a beautiful Victorian cult-meets-Comme des Garcons linen vest.
Justine’s was another great spot on the East side.
Contigo was amazing. Great, rich food (even the brussel sprouts were fried), and an amazing, indoor/outdoor environment. The one problem: atrocious graphic design. Contigo, if you are reading this, change your (big box retailer strip mall) sign.
Isaac scored a record with amazing song on it at Friends of Sound while I was trying on vintage Eskandar at Feathers around the corner.
That song is Strung Out On You by the Dells vs. the Dramatics.
Paley Fairman, Popomomo right-hand lady extraordinaire shot these beautiful shots of Kara in our Zabriskie jacket recently. You can see more of her photo and styling work on her site.
our good friend (and studio mate) Whitney Hubbs sent over this pic of the Sunset Blvd billboard she shot of James Franco and Paul McCarthy for the upcoming Rebel show that opens next Saturday. Awesome!
and…as there are no women included in this show (really?!), i guess that makes her the closest thing:)
