Our Two Favorite Guacamole Recipes Of All Time

People tend to have strong feelings about their guacamole: there are the purists who demand little more than avocado, lime, onion, and cilantro… and then there are the creative versions with roasted corn, black beans — I’ve even tried a couple guacs topped with crab meat. Let’s be honest, I’d happily eat any of them, but I […]

Weekend Notes

It’s a very special morning today: we’re hosting our first ever #GetHealthyGetTogether here in Austin, and I couldn’t be more excited about the fact that I’m about to meet so many of you guys in person for the first time. Earlier this year, the team and I made a commitment to creating content that’s not only […]

Jenni Kayne’s Cali Cool Brunch

My girl crush on designer Jenni Kayne was born a few years ago — I *think* it was when I first laid eyes on her enviable Beverly Hills pad that was my ideal mix of modern and cozy. Or maybe it was when I saw the photos from the stunning holiday party she hosted there.  In any […]

We’re Hiring!

Hey guys, I’m super excited to announce two new roles that we’re looking to fill at Camille Styles. This is a big deal for me because hiring is a rare occurrence around here — I take great joy in the fact that we’ve carefully built a small, talented team that approaches what we do every day […]

Weekend Notes

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas out there! We’re keeping it low-key around here which is just the way I like it. I think I’ve realized that for me, it doesn’t get much better than a sunshine-y Saturday afternoon with the whole family splashing around in the pool and great music coming into the speakers. […]

A Springtime Aperitivo Party with Franciacorta

The art of the aperitivo. I first discovered it on my honeymoon in Capri a few years ago, when Adam and I would start each evening with a glass of wine on the scene-y terrace of our hotel to people watch and relax. We soon learned that the Italians take this ritual very seriously: not only does […]

How to Keep Your Houseplants Green & Gorgeous

If you’ve seen my house, you know I love my houseplants — there’s no chicer (or cheaper) way to add a major dose of style to any room. But what you may not know is that I’m terrible at keeping them alive. Since I’m determined to change my ways and develop a green thumb, I […]

Taco Salad Bites

Hi y’all! It’s officially Cinco de Mayo week, which means we’re mixing up lots of frozen margaritas healthy Mexican dishes in my kitchen over the next few days. Now, I love chips & queso as much as any other self-respecting Austinite, but this year I’m in the mood to set out appetizers that are a little more unexpected, […]

How to Throw a Bon Voyage Party

We’ve had some incredible interns pass through the doors of team Camille Styles through the years, and saying goodbye at the end of their school year is always bittersweet. Although we’re sad to see them go, it’s exciting to think about the bright future that lies ahead of these talented ladies. In that spirit, we threw […]

Chicken Tequila Taquitos

When in Austin, do as the Austinites do… which means eating a ridiculous amount of Mexican food and not feeling the slightest bit bad about it. I make tacos, fajitas, tortilla soup, and guacamole on the regular, but taquitos had always been more of a restaurant-only thing because I’m not really into deep-frying at home or […]

Hollywood Waves

Y’all *might* have noticed that I tend to wear my hair in the same beachy waves every day, and I’m kinda not sorry about it. But they say that a new hairstyle can put a whole new spring in your step, so I’m trying to mix things up a bit more lately. Our resident hair guru Erica Rae says, “There […]

Sangrita & Tequila Sippers

To prepare the cucumber cups: Cut off the ends of the cucumber, then slice each cucumber into three pieces, about 3″ long. Using a vegetable peeler, peel off about 3/4 of the cucumber skin, leaving a little on the bottom. With a melon baller, scoop out the seeded part of the cucumber, leaving about 1/2″ […]

Cinco de Mayo Taquitos y Margaritas

Here in Austin, we know how to throw one heck of a Cinco de Mayo party. I mean, the margarita is practically our official drink, and tacos might as well be our city mascot, so we get in some good practice on the other 364 days of the year. I always embrace the challenge of […]

My New Ice Cream Sandwich Obsession

One of the most fun things about Phoebe getting a little older (she turns 4 in August!!) is that she appreciates our mama-daughter dates a lot more than she used to. When I announce we’re going somewhere special, it’s not uncommon for her to whisper conspiratorially, “Girls only, right?” Life has been crazy lately with […]

Kim’s Modern Blue-Toned Bungalow

Some people seem to be born with great taste, and today’s subject, Kim West (who also happens to be one of my best friends) is without a doubt one of them. Though in some ways our aesthetics are polar opposite — on a recent trip to Miami she declared that she wanted “to move into” […]

A Spicy Cinco de Mayo Potluck with Cholula

Y’all are going to get a major dose of Cinco de Mayo inspiration from us this week, and it kicks off today with this colorful fiesta potluck that I hosted for a few friends last week. The vibrant tabletop and festive vibe were inspired by the array of Cholula bottles on the table — we incorporated my favorite hot sauce […]
