Hey, pals! It’s Devon.
It's been an eventful couple of weeks for two of the biggest names in music, along with their collaborators. Beyoncé and Dolly. Beyoncé and Willie. Taylor and Florence. Beyoncé and Post Malone and Taylor and Post Malone.
Never ones to be upstaged, we realized it had been a while since we went back into the metaphorical recording studio of our own with some heavy hitters in the writin’ and recommendin’ game. Post Malone was busy (can't imagine why, but whatever). However, after much back-and-forth with their agents and managers, two of the greatest (and dear friends of mine), Brittany and Katie, agreed to jump on Track 72 of The DM, and well - we couldn't be more honored, flattered, or humbled.
(And no, we will not be dropping another DM issue at 2 a.m. tomorrow morning)
(The Swifties get it)
So, we’ll be here, eagerly awaiting that Grammy nod and working on our acceptance speech. But in the meantime, let's dance, shall we?"
From Devon
Listening to: a set of groovy playlists from Bunkhouse Hotels, inspired by some of their most notable lodgings. My faves, which have been in constant rotation on my speakers since said discovery, are Hotel San Fernando in Mexico City, Hotel San Cristobal in Todos Santos, and Hotel St. Cecilia in South Austin.
On the waitlist: for these cute ‘snacky plates’ that would make for some really fun gifts, and this dress.
Wearing: this belt. Highly suggest buying it in all the colors - thank me later!
Loving: the prints on this western-inspired site, as I’m doing a little refresh of my wall art. I’ve got eyes on this one, this one, and all of these.
Evangelizing: Kosas tinted moisturizer. I have long been an ILIA Skin Tint gal, but after a nice little go with some random breakouts, I switched over to Kosas, and my skin and I are big fans (three weeks in, at least). Also, very into the foundation, too. '
Wanderlusting: a trip to Provence, as inspired by this new cookbook, which is currently making it’s way to me as you read.
Meet Brittany Anas | Lifestyle and travel writer, world adventurer, mom to Tyson, the most dapper of Boston Terriers, and water park enthusiast.
From Brittany
Loving: WNBA fashion.
Wanting to do: a farm dinner this summer. Farmette in Lyons has a rotating lineup of chefs we Coloradoans know and love.
Wearing: this happy Saylor NYC white dress with a rainbow crocheted bust.
Excited about: An upcoming stay at Eliza Jane, a boutique hotel in New Orleans that, among other things, was the printing house for the city’s newspaper. My print-loving, journalist heart flutters that the lobby bar is a nod to the paper’s first woman publisher.
Wearing: gold-plated seashell earrings that feel like a nice evolution from the puka shell era of my youth.
Eating: pineapple-avocado salsa on and with everything.
Meet Katie Knoch | Food and bev publicist, mama to Baby Olive, queen of snacks, and lover all things color.
From Katie
Drinking: daiquiris made with Probitas rum.
Loving: the fact that olives are trending in the accessory department the same year I name my daughter Olive (Pepper), knowing it will all go from “embarrassing” to “coveted” as she comes of age. Case in point: my locket and this purse.
Eating an egg + Serrano tartine from Sage Bakehouse in Santa Fe on our family road trip this weekend.
Adding to cart: this gold medal sweatshirt for Baby Olive’s first Olympics and also this tee for her first Tomato Girl Summer (TM).
Addicted to: playing the Colorado lottery online (?!?!) to fund all these “add to cart” items!
