Wanderlust ::: Marfa, Texas

With SXSW going on this week, I’ve been wishing I was in Austin listening to some great music. Casey Keasler from K.I.D. Collective has Texas on her mind too, and is daydreaming about a trip to Marfa. It’s such a thrill to have Casey, a Portland, Oregon interior designer, tastemaker, and author of K.I.D. Collective recently featured in April’s Dwell magazine. I always love her picks & sense of style spanning everything from interiors, what’s cooking in the kitchen, scouting, and charming peeks into her personal life. Be sure to check out K.I.D. Collective for daily inspiration.  ::: Luster

::: From Casey ::: Wanderlust is so nice to dream about in light of everything that’s been happening around the world. An escape, if only mental. I have long been a fan of Marfa, at least from afar. It seems remote, quiet, undisturbed and the perfect place to relax for a few days. Marfa is the kind of place you go to get away from everything. It’s off the beaten path, minimal and maybe even a little rustic.

In my daydreaming, it was the one place that came to mind over and over again and a place I want to visit in my lifetime. I’ve never been but have heard the views, the lights and Donald Judd make this place special. Ideally, I would stay a few days in Austin then head over to Marfa and sleep in a teepee at El Cosmico for a few nights and on my last night stay at the Thunderbird.

    I’ve heard a lot about Marfa, and this just makes me want to go now, all the more. I love the teepee hotel, and your packing list is stunning…i want it all. The necklace especially!

    I loved Austin, and am now kicking myself I didn’t go a little farther on to Marfa. The Thunderbird looks like the kind place you could hide out for awhile. x
