On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink.

I have mentioned before that Maddie, Caroline and I all work together in the 200 sq foot back room at Biscuit. 8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, and often we even choose to hang out together after business hours. We’re…close. Maybe even to the point of morphing into one another. Customers regularly comment on how we are dressed alike- and we won’t have even been aware of it.

If you follow us on Instagram you might remember this twin-cident from a few weeks ago.

We have sort of developed a Biscuit uniform- statement jeans, fun flats, top, and cardigan. Comfy flats are essential since we are on the floor all day, and jeans are just easier when we are climbing ladders fetching items for customers. We tend to layer our tops because the store is about 10 degrees colder in our office than on the floor and none of us can regulate our body temperature.

It’s a sensible ensemble.

What makes NO sense is that we showed up to work yesterday dressed like sister-wife-triplets.Fashion Details 3

AG Stevie jeans, white peplum tops, and colorful cardigans. It was too weird not to photograph. So we hit the streets at lunch and did our best impression of fashion bloggers.

Obviously we are quite fond of AG Stevie Jeans. We each have completely different bodies and wear different sizes, but they are super comfortable and flattering on all of us. I am obsessed with Caroline’s color combo inspired by her necklace, and dare I say our Holly dining room project? We voted my Ella Moss peplum shirt the favorite- it has just the right amount of stretch and short sleeves. And I am still kicking myself that I never got Maddie’s neon pink ballet flats when they were available on J.Crew- bring them back for me Jenna? Pretty please?

As ridiculous as we felt 1. when we showed up wearing the exact.same.thing and 2. strutting down my street photographing ourselves, it is kind of fun seeing how each of us put a twist on our favored uniform.

OHay! Season 2! Who is going to be most popular?

Introducing the new Biscuit Class of Spring 2013. Season 2 Bedding

You’ve got crowd favorites Pete, Paul, Grace, Katie and Joanna returning in new color ways.

And soon to be prom court contestants: Alaina (eiffel towers), Amber (ikat), Erika (stripes), Jenny (floral), Harold (constellation), and Mackenzie (bows). So who is your favorite? Who is coming to live with you? We will be giving you the full background on each print, but I suggest you snap some of your own up quickly.

Find all of our new prints in bedding and trays here.

Patience please…

photoWe were busy bakers yesterday preparing all of our delicious new Biscuit treats for y’all.

New season bedding, trays, coasters and catchalls will be available for sale online today- but it takes some time to upload all the freshness. There are a few pieces on there now, and the rest will be trickling in throughout the day.

The good news is that this time- most bedding is ready to ship immediately and the rest only has a 2-3 week lead time.

I will update y’all here when everything is ready to go!

Dreaming of the countryside.

Every so often I get the inclination to up and move to the country. While Pete has an appreciation for a fresh air and the lush verdure, I don’t think he really shared my dream, but- he had never really been out to the Texas hill country. The whole time we were out there Pete kept saying, “I could do this”.

Unfortunately the hill country is a solid 4-5 hour drive, but there are plenty of charming towns 1-2 hours outside of Houston (Brenham, Round Top, Brookshire) where I can see us one day dabbling in the simple life.

Nothing extravagant, just some land.

Oh- and farm animals. Bunnies, lambs, maybe a Bessie cow.

Sometimes I can’t decide if the decor will be fancy country?

Like a pair of city mice who fell on hard times and had to choose only a select few items of finery to go into exile with?

Or if I’m more into embracing it- pairing down to a more spare aesthetic.

Either way, it’s going to be amazing. Inspired by Pete’s newfound love of Texas scenery (and one of our best friends moving there for the summer) we are considering a family trip up to Marfa. Downside: The 8 hour drive.

It might be a bit too country for Pete, but I think we could swing it for a weekend.

Have any of y’all ever been?

What about your country dreams? Do you ever fantasize about moving out yonder? Where would it be? Lake, Beach? Countryside, river? And if you need even MORE country decorporn, Jenny and I apparently have our stars aligned and she posted on her country dreams today as well. Lot’s of good inspiration there.

The most beautiful country wedding.

I am PADDING hard after the greatest wedding weekend of my life.

Padding= Post.Alcohol.Depression=P.A.D.=PAD-DING. Except it wasn’t really the alcohol, we were on best behavior actually, but I was love-drunk this weekend watching one of my oldest, bestest and most beloved friends get married to her handsome love.

The wedding was held in the Texas hill country, the actual ceremony/reception was at her families river house. The wedding party mostly stayed at a camp nearby- that I happened to attend as a nugget. #Memories. Friday night was a casual bar-b-q welcome party at the camp.

Smoke Shack BBQ catered it, and it was delicious.

Oh, and there was Blue Bell, with these spoons. I couldn’t agree more. Except I would say, “all you need is love…and blue bell ice cream.”

There were late night shenanigans… $1 dollah dollah billz yo.

I got a large and it’s a little snug in the armpits but otherwise, it fit like a comfy coverup. This is me trying to smile with whitestrips on. Lookin’ goofy, but the tassels! So cute.

It could not have been a better time. I+J are two of the most charismatic, loving, fun people you could know and the whole weekend was reflective of them. Sweet, casual, fun, and beautiful.

Although, while I was more excited for camp than anyone, Pete and I slept six to a camp cabin (read: one bathroom) with our two best couple friends. In bunk beds. I had top bunk. With one thin foam pillow and camp-issued bedding (‘cept I brought my kumi so I can’t complain). Needless to say, we are a bit sore and exhausted. We loved it though, and the whole weekend got us thinking about the pleasures of country living. Pete had never been to the Texas Hill Country and is now completely obsessed/contemplating packing it all up and becoming a permanent river rat.

How was your weekend?
