Dining in Style, Y'all

Josephine House | Austin, Texas.

This summer, our family relocated to California from Austin. I'm often asked what I miss most about Texas. My answer is easy - the people. Amazing people and many of my dearest friends live in the heart of Texas. But there are a few Austinites that I never met and miss, specifically Larry McGuire and Thomas Moorman, Jr. This talented duo make dining in Austin a hyper preppy, visual feast. Of course, the food is fantastic, but it's the interiors that keep you coming back. Take a look at their genius here. XO, L

*I also miss the cleverly styled valet at Jeffrey's, an attraction in and of themselves. With pastel short shorts, sweatbands, Stan Smiths and iPhones hidden in vintage Hardy Boy books, these guys seem straight out of a Wes Anderson film.
