Happy weekend everyone, and more importantly, happy (almost) New Year! Camille is in Arizona spending a rejuvenating few days away at a wellness spa… so if you’ll have me, I (Chanel) will be serving today’s helping of Weekend Notes. I actually just got back from a mini vacay myself, so I’m spending the day running… read more

Party on Ice
December is coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean the cold weather (or winter entertaining) is going away any time soon! And to be honest, I’m actually kind of excited about the prospect of throwing a party to celebrate something other than the holidays. We stopped by coco+kelley last week, and to ensure that the… read more
December Snapshots
What a month it’s been! Christmas has come and gone, and I’m feeling energized for not only a new month, but a whole new year. As usual, I’m taking time to reflect over some highlights from the past month, captured through the lens of Instagram (@camillestyles.) Leave a comment and let me know: what was… read more
New Year’s Eve :: Tinsel Inspiration
Ah yes, New Years Eve… the perfect last-hoorah to a season of ceaseless wining and dining. And though I’m not sure when it became customary to don sparkles and sequins and glitter (oh my), I have to wonder if there could possibly be a better tradition. So, this afternoon I thought I’d share some of my… read more
Transformed :: The Great (Empty) Wall
Hi there, hope you’ve all enjoyed a wonderful holiday with your friends and family! With New Years just days away, I (Claire) have been on the hunt for a project that will totally revamp a drab room. Now I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve had one sad wall in my house that’s stood blank and… read more
New Year’s Eve :: Wine & Cheese Party
Just when you thought the holiday festivities were winding down…it all starts ramping up again for the revelry of New Year’s Eve. Thought I’d share some inspiration from a holiday dinner party I hosted a couple weeks ago that embraces a slightly more rustic feel – I think it would be absolutely perfect for December… read more
DIY :: Poppin’ Bottles
The holidays just scream overindulgence, don’t they? It sounds crazy, but I’m almost at the breaking point where I’d be happy to not see another hors d’oeuvre or glass of wine for a very long time. As I attempt to turn the celebrating down just a few notches over the next couple of days, I figured I’d need… read more
The Best of Times
I know we’re on an all-white kick, but I thought it would be almost impossible to look forward to the new year without looking back on some of the wildly colorful parties we saw in 2011. From a spectacular Halloween cabaret to Grace Coddington’s birthday, we nearly died flipping through Vogue’s photo’s chronicling the best… read more
Tuesday Tastings :: Quick Healthy Chili
Have y’all tried cooking with bison? I first used it last year after hearing about it’s nutritional superiority to beef: 75 percent less fat, 40 percent more protein, loads of iron. I was happy to discover how yummy it is, too, and now I use ground bison in place of beef most of the time.… read more
Bring it Home:: Winter White
Cristina, here! If you’ve been traveling, shopping, wrapping, baking, eating, and eating some more, (like me!) then you’re probably looking forward to a little rest and relaxation this week. When I’m feeling overwhelmed, I love pouring over Scandinavian design for clean lines and bright whites that are beautiful and cozy. After opening presents and eating an… read more
