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 […]
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 […]
‘Tis the season for tree trimming parties, holiday cocktails with the girls, and all kinds of other festivities that require looking cute and keeping warm. The freezing temps completely snuck up on me this year, so I’ve been desperately stocking my closet with cozy pieces I can layer — sweaters, vests, fuzzy socks, and tall […]
It’s the eternal Thanksgiving debate at our house: try out a “new twist” on the traditional desserts (me), or stick with the classics (pretty much everyone else). The men in our family look forward to my mom’s perfect pecan tart all year long, and my sister and Phoebe are major pumpkin pie girls. Though I […]
With the holiday hosting season just around the corner, I’m always on the lookout for festive drink ideas that I can pull out at a moment’s notice for the impromptu guests and fun little cocktail parties that fill up the month of December. Brimming with flavors of lemon, ginger and pomegranate, this tea sparkler (made with Pure Leaf […]
If I had to choose one word to describe Chelsea, it would be authentic. She’s one of those rare souls who is incredibly kind and big-hearted, yet doesn’t possess a fake bone in her body – what you see is truly what you get. I had the privilege of collaborating with Chelsea as the photographer of this very […]
So far, this book tour has been a crazy-fun, once-in-a-lifetime experience… and getting to meet so many longtime readers face-to-face has definitely been the highlight. If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you’ve caught glimpses here and there of the festivities, but I wanted to pop in with a full post about our latest party in […]
Morning, friends! It’s been a cozy, fun weekend so far… On Friday, I was feeling pretty zapped from the past week that was full of book events and other work stuff, so we cancelled the babysitter and our multiple Friday night social plans, stayed in, tried a new (amazing) roast chicken recipe, and hung-out in front […]
Has anyone else been craving Thanksgiving flavors and festivities for weeks? Though the countdown to the big day is still going strong, I took it upon myself to preemptively celebrate a few weeks early with a tea-filled Friendsgiving dinner party with some of my favorite girls. Lucky for us, the cold (ish) weather settled in Austin just […]

Victoria is one of those rare bloggers who always seems to just get. it. right. Her “bohemian modern” style is perfectly curated without ever feeling contrived, and she’s well-loved around the blogosphere for her genuine positivity, warmth and total authenticity. (can you tell I’m a fan?) As her blog’s name suggests, Victoria is a San Fran girl […]

Do you have a mentor? A person you can (a) go to for advice, and (b) trust their wisdom enough that you actually take it to heart and allow it to inspire your actions? I’ve been thinking a lot about female mentorships lately, and how important it is to support each other in our unique […]

As much as I love experimenting with new recipes and innovative flavors, there’s something about the winter months that just calls for the comforting foods and familiar flavors that I associate with the holidays. Think about how you feel when you come in from the cold and are handed a steaming mug of spicy cider, or bite […]

I woke up early this morning (despite “gaining an hour” for daylight savings), so I brewed a cup of chai, dragged my laptop to the living room couch, and lit the first fire of the season. It feels like heaven to luxuriate in the comforts of home after being away all week, first in NYC […]
