For fashion stylist and designer Christine Visneau and her husband, photographer Steven Visneau, work is life and life is work. They’ve woven their creative endeavors so seamlessly into the happy life they share with their two daughters in Dallas that they’re almost one in the same, and constant collaboration is their default. And as co-creators […]
It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but with the endless to-do lists, maxed-out bank account, and full-to-the-brim calendar, it can also be the most stressful. Here on the blog, we talk a lot about how to make the holidays beautiful and delicious, but I also didn’t want the season to slip […]
There’s no doubt that hosting during the holiday season is a learned skill that gets better with practice. I’ll never forget the first Christmas bash I attempted to throw singlehandedly — I was way too ambitious with the labor-intensive food, the detailed decor, the guest list and the gifts, and the hours leading up to the event can only […]
In the past 5 days, I’ve been in Virginia, Atlanta, and Dallas… and today I’m headed back to Austin to luxuriate in several weeks of being at home, enjoying the holidays with family, finally wrapping all my gifts, catching up with girl friends who I’ve totally neglected during my book tour, and probably baking one […]
Thank goodness that the old-school punch bowl is having a “moment” again, since a huge batch of fruity, boozy punch is one of my greatest secrets to stress-free holiday entertaining. There’s something about it that instantly sends a “let’s get this party started!” vibe the second guests walk in the door, and most importantly, it […]
This recipe originally appeared in A Very Merry (Camille Styles) Holiday Soirée, and 2 Great Holiday Punch Recipes.
Over the past few weeks, you guys have filled my feed with the most beautiful photos showing how you’re using Camille Styles Entertaining at home — it’s been endlessly inspiring! Today we’re excited to announce the winner of our #CamilleStylesEntertaining instagram challenge, and the West Elm gift card prize goes to… @merrittwakefield! There were so […]
For holiday party outfits, I always find myself searching for that perfect balance of festive and cozy: when it’s freezing outside, I’m way too much of a baby to wear anything that reveals too much skin to the elements! A long-sleeved dress, opaque tights, and a cozy scarf provide lots of warmth, and when the dress is […]
A beautifully-set table, flickering candlelight, platters overflowing with rich food, and carefully chosen wines to complement it. Sounds like a dream of a holiday gathering, doesn’t it? We thought so too, which is why we positively swooned when we laid eyes on the Midwinter Night’s Dream-themed dinner party that best friends Gillian Segal and Sophie Collins designed together, brimming […]
I admit that I’m already on my second cup of coffee and still moving a bit slower after a late-night holiday party at a friend’s house last night — thank goodness for another day of the weekend, with time to lay around, watch a Christmas movie, and finally finish getting all my holiday cards ready […]
Happy weekend, lovelies! Is anyone else in slight disbelief that we’re already well into December? Next week will cap off the final stops on my book tour (in 2014, at least), and while a part of me will be glad to take a break from all the traveling, these last couple months have really been […]
Okay okay, “healthy” is a relative term, but when you compare these against your typical cupcakes packed full of sugar and way too much white flour and butter, they’re definitely healthier, and satisfy chocolate cravings like a champ. After watching the documentary Fed Up recently, I was inspired to start paying a little more attention to how much sugar […]
Lately on the blog, we’ve been talking a lot about female mentorships: the importance of finding someone who’s walked in your shoes before and is willing to share the wisdom they’ve picked up along the way to inspire your ideas and actions. So, I’m really excited to be part of Interview magazine and La Crema Wines Statement Makers […]
Hello, Atlanta! So thrilled to announce that we’re headed your way next Wednesday, December 10th, to celebrate the launch of Camille Styles Entertaining at The Goat Farm! The evening will be divided into two separate parts, and we’d love for you to join us for one or both! First: Chanel and I will be leading an […]
Next up in our Styld.By series with Gap: a look that’s perfect for hitting the streets of downtown Austin to find gifts for everyone on my holiday shopping list (have you tackled yours yet? I still have a LOT to do!) I brightened up my skinny black pants and simple cozy tunic with a bright pop of color from my […]

Hey Dallas readers, so excited to announce TWO upcoming book parties on December 13th, and you’re invited to both! Start the day with us at Madison at Highland Park Village, where I’ll be sipping mimosas, mingling and signing books from 11am to 1pm. Then, I’ll be heading over to Neiman Marcus Willow Bend for an […]
One month ago, we celebrated the official release of my book in New York City at West Elm, and it was one of those magical nights that will always make me a little giddy just remembering it. The energy of the city, the readers who came out from all over NYC and beyond to celebrate, […]
It almost always happens the same way: I’m growing out my hair, loving life with my long locks, when BAM! I’m suddenly hit by the irresistible urge to make a change. Maybe it’s the turning of the seasons (or the fact that it was suddenly taking me twice as long to blow my hair dry), […]
Do you have your holiday outfits planned yet? I’ve learned that feeling confident and stylish throughout the season does require some advance planning, as schedules gets increasingly busy with events that bring with them all sorts of fashion conundrums. Such as… how to look chic yet appropriate for my husband’s company party? How to dress up but […]
I have a tradition of getting most of my cards written, addressed, and ready for mailing during the long Thanksgiving weekend. When everyone’s settled into their turkey coma, I curl up in front of the fire with my cards and a cup of tea — and it’s become one of my favorite rituals to kickoff the […]
I love sending Christmas cards every year — it’s the perfect time to pen a simple note to the people I care about, many of whom live far away. But all too often the act of sending cards can be fraught with stress (yet another thing to check off the do list during this busy […]
The arrival of Thanksgiving week brings with it a hint of slowing down around here; taking a break from the nonstop pace of the past few weeks and preparing to savor a few days of great food and a house full of family. And I, for one, could not be more ready. I had the […]
