image: kira noble for bird is the word I owe most of my foreign film viewing to my boyfriend, who’s a certified cinephile. These days we’re on a steady diet of new foreign flicks thanks to Netflix and great local cinemas like The Violet Crown and Alamo Drafthouse. Why are we so hooked? Because we’ve found […]

We’ve gone through our entire beauty tutorial catalog to find the ten best updo tutorials we’ve ever published. Browse the looks for your favorite and don’t be boring with your hair this weekend– because if […]
When we first thought of the “It Couple” series, we wanted it to be a place to share great love stories from inspiring couples. I imagined myself getting to hear the up-close-and-personal romances of interesting people, doing truly interesting things together as couples. I’m not sure there has ever been an installment of the series that has brought that […]
We couldn’t help but notice that model Jenna Filardi, winner of our latest Camille Styles instagram model search, bears a striking resemblance to actress Natalie Portman. We asked Erica Rae to create a red-carpet style to match Jenna’s Hollywood looks, and she surprised us with this fabulous updo. “My pompadour obsession started when I first saw celebrities rock this look […]
photographed by jessica attie We asked our favorite hair stylist Erica Rae to create a new variation on the classic french braid and she surprised us with this fun “bubble braid” look. Austin fashion blogger Cyndi Huang of The Cyn City was the perfect model to rock this look with her full ombred hair. “Technically this style isn’t a […]
It’s holiday party time, and you know what that means: open season for wearing velvet, feathers, beading, and yes, even a well-placed sequin. (Hey, they don’t call it the most “wonderful” time of the year for nothing.) We’ve scoured the racks at our favorite online boutiques to find 10 of our favorite party-ready dresses of the […]
One Gun Ranch lives up to the legend.
We’re always on the hunt for updo solutions that look chic instead of sloppy, and never more so than during the holidays. Stylist Erica Rae blew us away with this gorgeous little chignon she created on model Taylor Boose. photographed by jessica attie Taylor, an operations specialist with a degree in digital media management, has the ideal hair type to […]
Maggie Goen Buckley is one of those people with truly enviable taste. Every time I’m lucky enough to be invited into her home, I leave feeling inspired to make my own space more fun. (You may remember Maggie and Patrick’s unbelievable wedding weekend in San Miguel I wrote about last year.) That said, I was beyond excited […]
We’re always looking for really good hostess gifts to keep on hand during the holidays. You never know when you’ll get the impromptu invite to the in-laws or the boss’s home, and mom taught us better than to show up empty-handed. That said, the most elegant hostess gifts don’t have to be the most expensive ones. We’ve […]
In case you haven’t noticed, bridal stories are few and far between here on Camille Styles. But we actually love attending weddings, talking about weddings, and finding those (truly rare) gorgeous bridal submissions that come to our inbox. We fell in love with this one from our friends Brita Olsen and Molly O’Rourke and couldn’t wait […]
Before Chanel’s wedding, Michael and I spent a few days in Munich and took a day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle in Füssen. I’m so glad we did — it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of an epic trip. The castle, built in the late 1880s by the “mad” King Ludwig II, reflects all the […]
I think artwork is something that a lot of people struggle with when it comes to interiors. A space doesn’t feel finished without it, yet it’s hard to know where to start. For millennials who are used to turning to the web as a first line shopping resource, options in the past have been… frustrating. […]
“Meet cutes” don’t get much cuter than the story of restaurant owners Gary and Jessica P. Wu. The two were living in New York when a rainy day (and a little bit of fate) brought them together at the ACE Hotel. We met up with the couple at their new restaurant General Tso’Boy at the Domain Northside to […]
We spotted this look on the red carpet during awards season and fell in love with the unexpected combination of delicate braids paired with sleek, blown-out hair. Stylist Erica Rae stopped by to demonstrate the look on the lovely Jenna Filardi, winner of our latest Camille Styles instagram model search. “Most people automatically think ‘bohemian’ when it comes to […]
For someone who lives in a warm climate, I own an absurd amount of coats. I love them for adding shape and drama to an outfit during the few cold months we get a year in Austin. This year I combed the racks of all of my favorite online retailers to find the ten best new coats […]
A few weeks ago we held an open call for models on instagram and the response was truly overwhelming. We had so many truly beautiful, stylish readers who were willing to be a part of our beauty tutorial series! It was next to impossible to choose from all the applicants, but reader Taylor Boose (with her gorgeous […]
Here at CS, we’re officially obsessed with the idea of a “signature home scent.” All of our favorite hotels have one, and even some of our favorite stores too. Try as we might, we’ve never been able to master the consistent home fragrance. For years we’ve heard rumors that the commercial spaces we admire have special electronic systems […]
It’s not a joke when I say Chanel and I think about Halloween all year long. Our annual costume shoot is probably the most fun day of the year here at Camille Styles (and absolutely the only time we get to make Camille dress up like a baseball player). Last year’s roundup of couples costume ideas […]
We already had six other fun group costume concepts going when this goofy idea struck us over (what else?) a bottle of rosé. When we look back on 2016, we’ll undoubtedly remember the pink wine craze and the beloved cheapie bottle that appeared on every wine list across the country. This group costume idea is great for two […]
Freckles seem to be one of those grass-is-always-greener traits: those who have them hate them and those who don’t have them wish that they did! As for our office, everyone is in complete agreement that freckles are a gorgeous feature. I’d heard rumor of an actual “freckle pencil” on the market, so I hit the mall […]
It’s no wonder that my very favorite Entertaining With story we’ve ever ran was the one with Justine Gilcrease — after all, she’s French. When it comes to entertaining, Parisians have cultivated a level of cool that’s seriously taken generations to achieve. They don’t shy away from luxury or elegance, but it’s all delivered in a […]
Do you have a friend you admire for being cultured? Our director of partnerships, Landrie, is one of those people for me. She has all the boxes checked: Well Traveled. Well Read. Well Spoken. Informed. Curious. Gracious, and with a healthy sense of humor. With our busy modern lives, it’s truly a marvel when anyone develops themselves in so […]
Whoever coined the phrase that being the one to end the relationship is “just as hard as being broken up with” has obviously never been dumped. For the rest of us, life and love can be a bit of a roller coaster… and as far as relationships go, there’s nothing that hurts quite like the […]
San Diego blogger Sarah Yates Mora discovered this simple recipe for grilled mexican street corn on a trip to Tijuana years ago and has made it her dinner party staple ever since. See how she served this recipe during an intimate backyard dinner party by viewing the full story here.
