ABOUT

I’m Thomas vonBK, originally from Ireland and now based in Dallas, Texas, after many years spent in London, Germany and the Netherlands. Exploring new places has been part of who I am for as long as I can remember. Today, my husband, our twin boys and I spend our summers in Ireland and Europe, returning to places we know well while always making room for somewhere new. Those experiences, along with family, style, food and the things I discover along the way, shape much of what I share here.

​

You may already know me as one half of the vonBKs, where we’ve shared parts of our family life, travels and everyday experiences over the years. This site is a little more personal to me, with space for the things I’m naturally drawn to: fashion, great food, thoughtful home design, hotels with personality, recipes I actually make, and places that are genuinely worth knowing about. I’m drawn to things that feel considered without feeling overly polished or precious. The same goes for style. I tend to gravitate toward pieces that feel current, wearable and worth coming back to again and again. At home, I’m always looking for ways to make a space feel better, whether that means a small design change, something useful for the kitchen or a piece I think is worth buying. And because Dallas is home, you’ll also find plenty of local finds here, from restaurants and shops to places worth visiting around the city.

​

This site is where I can go a little deeper than I can on social media. It’s a place for travel guides, hotel finds, fashion, food, recipes, home, shopping edits and the occasional thing I simply can’t stop talking about. I want it to be useful first, whether you’re planning a trip, figuring out what to wear, looking for somewhere new to eat, searching for something for your home or just trying to find a better version of something you already own. You’ll find things I’ve discovered while traveling, alongside products, places and ideas that are part of everyday life here in Dallas.

 

And if you ever have a question, recommendation, or just want to say hello, feel free to send me a message. I’d love to hear from you.
