As the unofficial resident tomboy of the Camille Styles team, I (Jennifer) couldn’t be more excited about revealing the first featured guest of our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide Series. Lizzie Garrett is the author of one of my very favorite blogs as well as the gorgeous coffee table book from Rizzoli, Tomboy Style: Beyond the […]

My Essentials :: Kristen Turner

Ever since I happened upon the DIY hub that is Glitter n’ Glue, I’ve been thinking twice about heading out to the mall to score the season’s latest trends. The stylish lady behind it all is Kristen Turner — a girl with an amazing eye for design, and best of all, the crafting know-how to help achieve […]

Merry-Making with Minted Party Decor!

As much as I love dreaming up the perfect party theme and spending hours crafting all the little details…the holiday season is way too busy for me to DIY everything! I was so excited when my friends at Minted gave me the scoop on their new line of party decor suites full of all the decorative […]

Thanksgiving Snapshots

Looking through photos from Thanksgiving this morning, and thought I’d share a few of my favorites. It was such a special day full of family and the best food… and needless to say, Phoebe was showered with endless amounts of attention by her grandparents, aunts and uncles (she’s the first grandchild on both sides.) Thanks […]

Weekend Notes

Morning lovelies! I’m about to dash off for a breakfast taco run and morning hike with Adam & Phoebe, followed by fully decking out the huge Christmas tree we picked up yesterday… but thought I’d pop in with a quick “happy weekend” and a few of my favorite links from this week. Hope you’re having a […]

The Perfect Bite :: Homemade Baileys Irish Cream

Is anyone else having trouble buttoning their pants today or is it just me? Jess here and on this blissful Black Friday, I’d be silly to bring you something that you’d have to chew so soon after your Thanksgiving feast. Accordingly, I’m pouring up the most decadent of all sip-able holiday indulgences…Baileys Irish Cream. Most […]

10 Best Morning-After Meals

So how did you all do yesterday? Hopefully you saw successes on all fronts, and that Thanksgiving meal you slaved over turned out just the way you’d planned. As the most gluttonous holiday of the year would have it, our refrigerator is overflowing with leftovers. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t totally see […]

A Very Merry ShoeMint Soirée!

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a big fan of ShoeMint (the members-only site with super on-trend designs by Rachel Bilson & Nicole Chavez), so when they asked me to design a collection of holiday soirées inspired by ShoeMint styles, I couldn’t resist. C’mon, pretty shoes plus Christmas parties… what’s not to love? I’ve been craving […]

A Day of Thanksgiving

Today I’m thankful for… Being married to my best friend and favorite person in the world. Having the most talented, fun, smart and creative team I could imagine. You girls make work not feel like work. Cappuccinos every morning. The friendly, relaxed vibe of Austin. Yesterday I was out running Thanksgiving errands and was once […]

A “Friendsgiving” Feast

As the workweek comes to a close, I’m counting down the hours until family arrives from out of town, wrapping up emails and getting ready to shut down my laptop in favor of unhurried hours spent talking around a blazing fire. Now’s the time to transition into the holiday mentality and focus on the things […]

My Life, Styled :: Up And Away

We are headed to Austin this week for the holiday and I (Jen) am counting down the minutes! I am also already planning my day-of-travel outfit, which is pretty much my airport uniform at this point. While there are plenty of instances when getting dressed is purely a fun, creative expression of style, dressing for air […]

Last-Minute Thanksgiving Guide

Did anyone wait until the last minute and save all their Thanksgiving planning for today? Guilty as charged. I’ve been crazy busy prepping for a series of holiday collaborations that we’re working on with kate spade new york, plus a full editorial calendar here on the blog and last week’s crafting event with Anthropologie…all while […]
