If you caught our new Editors’ Essentials series, you know that we tend to be a bit nosey around here — there’s something so thrilling about discovering what makes people tic, don’t you think? Submitting to my voyeuristic guilty pleasure, I couldn’t resist sharing these photos with you all today: Henry Hargreaves photographed (in baroque-inspired […]
It’s no secret that some of the greatest gifts come in the smallest packages, so while today’s big reveal comes in the form of just a minor tweak to CamilleStyles.com, we’re super excited. Since unveiling our slideshow about a year ago, we’ve been listening carefully to your thoughts and feedback, so today we’re thrilled to unveil a […]
Have you been on a tropical vacation this year… maybe somewhere in the Caribbean, Mexico, or even as far as Costa Rica? If you have, it goes without saying: I’m jealous. But, that’s not to say that those of us at home need to be deprived of summer celebrations. Between the al fresco dinners and […]
Next up in our “Party in Five” collaboration with Cooking Channel is the one summer party concept that we simply can’t get enough of — a retro picnic in the park. This one’s especially romantic, featuring a comforting lunch menu for two, a must-have kite, and of course, blankets and books for kicking back and basking for hours. Catch […]
Who says a girl can’t be sporty and stylish, too? Lately, some of the world’s favorite designers have been thinking beyond the red carpet to release luxury athletic gear, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Because as much as we love to get our fitness on, we try to do it in as […]
It’s clear that Athena Calderone has always infused style into every aspect of her life, but lately the interior designer & blogger behind Eye Swoon has got the internet seriously buzzing (this stunning Elle Decor feature, a Refinery29 tour and a coincidental appearance in Cristina’s column, to name a few)… and with good reason! Our […]
How many of you have taken the plunge and purchased a bar cart? We scored a vintage one on Craigslist a couple years ago, and since then have used it countless times, painting it a new color between uses. And when it’s not being used at a party or in a photo shoot, the cart stands […]
Something many people don’t know about me: I have a mild obsession with carnivals. Though there’s never a bad time of year to head out for a day at the fair, when you combine the rickety rides & the oh-so-yummy foods with blazing hot weather and a beach, you’ve got a sure-fire recipe for the […]
What’s your go-to hostess getup? Though it varies from one dinner party to the next, we’ve all got that one ensemble that’s most comfortable for opening doors, breezing between guests and topping off cocktails. That said, I tend to be of the camp that believes that the hostess should always wear something that ever-so-slightly outshines […]
After reading this morning’s Little Things post, I’m almost embarrassed to to admit to you guys how much time I’ve spent today basking in memories of summer days filled with playing dress up and frolicking worry-free. Of course, I’m now realizing that growing up, my games of Ring Around the Rosey and Freeze Tag were missing a crucial […]
Farewells are bittersweet — but we sure love a stylish send off! Our friend Lauren Cunningham at The Creative Parasol threw a summer dinner party as she, her husband Joe and baby Miles pack their bags for Shanghai to pursue an exciting new job opportunity. Here, Lauren shares some photos from the night, including some […]
This time of year, there’s almost nothing I love more than a dinner table that’s bright, poppy and unabashedly summery. Pair that with a casual backyard cookout and touches of handmade decorative details, and it’s safe to say we have the perfect mid-summer affair on our hands, don’t you think? Maddy Hague and Shauna Younge […]
As many of you know, one of our favorite things about summer is backyard partying and dining al fresco. Be it at your local park or a dreamy beach getaway, there’s really no wrong way to soak up the season under the stars… however, there is something to be said for having an outdoor space that’s perfect […]
Today’s hair tutorial just might be my favorite one yet — aside from the fact that it’s super easy to do yourself and looks gorgeous, it’s also a total blast from the past. Did anyone else used to rock a topsy tail in the 90’s? This version by Martha Lynn is a little more dressed […]
Do any of you get unjustifiably excited over anything illustrated? I’ve always had an undying affinity for doodle-style hand drawings (see the page margins of my notebooks spanning from grades 6 to 12 for reference), so when author Orr Shtuhl and artist Elizabeth Graeber combined my long-time love of illustration with my modern-day love of […]
Raise your hand if the Fourth of July is your favorite holiday (if you just raised your hand behind your computer, give yourself a gold star). Even though I have a mid-July birthday, there’s nothing I look forward to quite like Independence Day. And if you take the holiday as seriously as I do, chances […]
It’s no secret that we’re longtime fangirls of everything Antiquaria (remember this sneak peak into their entertaining style?), so when we first heard that Emma was expecting a little girl, we immediately began counting down to the big reveal of what would undoubtably be a gorgeous baby shower. Turns out, the day was every bit […]
The only thing better for kicking off the week than a double latté? A major helping of seriously gorgeous eye candy, of course! Uma Sanghvi of Studio Uma shared the gorgeous results of an inspiration shoot that she created with the help of a few other talented folks, and as soon as we saw the prettiness, […]
A few weeks ago, I finally mustered up the bravado to order a swimsuit I’d been eyeing for ages. I waited with bated breath for its arrival (and even ordered it in two sizes to be safe!), but alas, was utterly disappointed when I tried it on. Going to the pool should be a stress-free activity, yet […]
Yesterday we debuted the newest addition to our regular programming: the extra playful and always kid friendly Little Things series, brought to us by Carrie Ryan. Our first installment featured a gorgeous summer day of strawberry picking at Sweet Berry Farm in Austin, and had me instantly craving a dose of anything and everything berry flavored. Fortunately […]
We’re always going on and on about paper around here — personalized stationery, greeting cards, thank you notes, we’re obsessed to say the least. And while we love anything letterpress, the process behind letterpress printing (and the machine itself) has always been so intimidating. I’d never actually given thought to learning how to letterpress until I […]
If you caught last week’s Entertaining With feature, you may have noticed this particularly striking punch bowl at the Fronks’ summer pool party. No joke: when Jordan scored this gorgeous set, she hosted a party just to get to use it, and she hasn’t stopped since. She also happens to have the most delicious punch recipe to […]
There are lots of reasons why I’ve been counting down to summer’s arrival, but at the top of the list was the anticipation of sharing today’s feature with you all. Not only are Jordan and Chris Fronk a super stylish couple, but they’re also two of the most fun loving people I know… so it’s […]
You guys, how gorgeous is this super textural bun on Cristina? No beauty school needed to put this look together, all it requires is your run-of-the-mill ponytail, some bobby pins and a can of hair spray. I’m loving this do for an event that begs for something just a little more festive than your average […]
Given the amount of time I spend on Pinterest, I take pride in knowing the latest in handmade weddings, sought-after ingredients and genius DIY projects… and tend to think that there isn’t a craft or creative trend out there I haven’t seen. So when Elizabeth Messina came to us with these gorgeous photos she shot of an […]
