The first day of summer may be June 21st, but I think summer came a little earlier this year! I’m already stocking my fridge with watermelon and popsicles, lathering on the sunscreen, and hopping in the pool every chance I get. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m already planning a few pool parties […]

Desert Romance Bridal Shower

Don’t get me wrong: I love girly. I adore lace, the color pink, jewels, frosting and peonies. But I think that all those feminine notions are way more interesting when juxtaposed with something a little more organic, don’t you? When we got the chance to collaborate on a romantic-themed bridal shower with the team at […]

How We Organize Our Workspace

It was so fun getting to share our new studio space that we posted a couple weeks ago, and a lot of you expressed interest in seeing more details and hearing about how we keep things looking so clean and organized. I’ll admit that it’s a constant challenge — some days we might get huge […]

10 Things I Want to Do in My Thirties

I’m turning 30 today!! And I’m pretty darn excited about it. While it’s a bit surreal to think that my twenties have come and gone, it’s exhilarating to think that I’m standing on the brink of this new chapter full of adventures, new friendships, and life lessons (learned from plenty of mistakes, no doubt!). Not that […]

Packing for St. Tropez

I can’t believe we’re leaving for St. Tropez in just a few days! Adam and I have been planning this trip for ages — ever since realizing that my 30th birthday and our 5 year wedding anniversary fall within a week of each other, and deciding that was something worth celebrating with a destination we’ve always […]

Weekend Notes

Cheers to a long weekend (and the unofficial kickoff to summer!) I’m happy to say that I have almost zero plans for the next three days, which thankfully leaves plenty of time for spontaneous outings, long brunches and impromptu barbecues with friends. Or even just the luxury of cracking open this book (I’ve wanted to read […]

The Gift of Gratitude

“Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life” – Rumi Last year, I stumbled upon a TED talk given by Brother David Steindl-Rast in which he suggests that happiness is born from gratitude. In this same vein, research is beginning to show that if we cultivate and practice gratitude, […]

A Healthier Happy Hour

I think a case could be made for 2014 being named “The Year of Juicing.” It seems that everyone and their mom has tried some kind of juice cleanse (try being the operative word, since only the brave make it to the bitter end), and even for those of us who haven’t taken the plunge, the […]

Weekend Notes

Happy weekend, lovelies! What are all of you up to on this lovely almost-summer Saturday? It’s been a very full week with photo shoots (this one was epic), hanging with Phoebe and planning some upcoming travel, but overall, it was a great one. There’s nothing better than when work feels more like play, and when […]

Pretty Simple :: Camille’s Beauty Essentials

I’ve noticed that among beauty enthusiasts, there seems to be two major camps: those who love nothing more than to try out new products and switch up their makeup look based on their mood, and those who seek out their favorite products in each category and become die-hard loyalists, sticking to their tried-and-true beauty routines […]

How Do You Start the Day?

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to live a balanced life — mainly, wondering if such a thing is even possible to achieve in today’s world (without moving to a remote cabin in the woods and living off my organic garden…which, some days, sounds quite lovely), or are we all destined […]

The Big Reveal :: Camille Styles Studio!

Back in January, we shared the “before” photos and inspiration for our new studio space that was currently in-progress. Well, like most renovation projects, it took a teensy bit longer than expected to get it all photo shoot-ready, but I’m so excited to finally share it here in all its white walled, wood floored, marble counter […]

For all you moms…

Love this shot of my mom and me, taken right before I walked down the aisle 5 years ago. I feel so lucky to have a mom/best friend who’s been by my side for all the big milestones throughout my life, as well as all the little day-to-day moments that are so much more fun […]

Weekend Notes

(Thought this sweet shot of Mimi Thorisson and her daughter was particularly fitting for Mother’s Day weekend. Mimi is definitely one of the coolest, classiest moms I know, and somehow makes having 6 kids – with another on the way – appear effortless. And she definitely makes me want to pick up and move to […]

Butter Coffee: Miracle Drink or Crazy Health Fad?

When a tall, willowy beauty tells you she’ll spill the secret behind her svelte bod, high energy levels, and glowing skin, well, you get ready to take notes. Then, when she tells you that it all started when she began drinking coffee made with grass-fed butter, you stop and say… Huh?! (at least if you’re me.) That’s what […]

On My Nightstand

It seems that the busier life gets, the more nonfiction I read… maybe I feel like I’m being more “productive” with my downtime? Probably not the healthiest attitude, but I still have some real jewels in this month’s reading selections, from a look at why we all feel so overwhelmed and how to break the […]

Weekend Notes

Thank goodness it’s Saturday… anyone else in desperate need of a day to hit the slow down button on life and take a bit of a reprieve from the nonstop to-do’s of the workweek? I’ve got brunching, baking, and closet organization on my agenda, and since it looks like temps are hitting the 90’s today, our poolside chairs […]

Tuesday Tastings :: Kale, Orange & Hazelnut Salad

Although kale salads could probably win the prize for “trendiest food of 2014,” when I stumble across a really great one, I can’t help but become obsessed. A couple weeks ago, it happened again at the Mother’s Day brunch that we hosted at my house with Minted. Word of Mouth prepared the mouthwatering spread, and […]

Weekend Notes

Morning, lovelies! I’m in Dallas at a conference and doing work meetings this weekend, and while it’s been so good catching up with some of my best blogger friends from around the country, I’ve really missed my usual weekend cuddle time with Phoebe today! Looking forward to getting home and squeezing in some laid-back family time […]

Asian Sesame Chicken Salad

A Chinese chicken salad is one of those things that if I spot it on a restaurant menu, I’ll probably order it. There’s something about the crunchy cabbage, creamy avocado and bright taste of cilantro that makes it one of my favorite flavor combinations. I’ve had my go-to version that I’ve made at home for […]
