The Sunday Scaries. Hangxiety. No matter what you call it, we’ve all been there. Your head is throbbing, you can’t even figure out how to navigate your Favor app (which is further complicated by the fact your eyes are welling up with tears from that stupid Hallmark movie on tv.) All this begs the question: […]
Why am I assuming that your book club is, in fact, off track? Because it is. Has been for a while. Let’s face it — you haven’t met in months (and you spent most of the last meeting talking about Oscar screeners.) As millennial women, we’re consistently drawn to the idea of the bookclub without […]
The dating world seems to be evolving faster than ever, thanks to apps and a little thing called the internet. Spend a mere twelve months inside of a committed relationship and you’ll be at serious risk for falling out of touch with our ever-changing dating culture. If that’s you, don’t worry, we’ve got all the […]

Add a tassel to the end to give it a special touch! photographed by kristen kilpatrick It was so fun brainstorming cheeky phrases […]
With seemingly endless products on the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when it comes to skincare. Here to help navigate the cosmetics aisle is Camille’s personal dermatologist, Elizabeth Geddes-Bruce. At Westlake Dermatology, Dr. Geddes-Bruce helps clients develop a custom skincare routine that’s perfectly suited to their unique skin. That said, she definitely believes that certain ingredients are universally […]
Let’s face it, February can be a real drag. The cold weather never seems to end, we’re completely OVER our winter wardrobes, and (for those of us without significant others) there’s always Valentine’s Day to give it the extra ouch. That’s why we’ve put together a solid list of what to do with your life […]

Create the energy you want to feel.
Maybe it’s the un-PC nature of our biological clocks, or just good old-fashioned societal pressure, but it seems that women are especially susceptible to timelined expectations in life. Many of us want to achieve status in our dream jobs by 30, be married with multiple kids by 35, sell the company by 40… etc, etc. […]
If how to make new friends sounds like a pre-school topic, it’s probably because it’s a skill that isn’t typically taught in our society past age 5. That’s a shame, because many people eventually find themselves stranded in adulthood without the built-in network of friends that school always provided them. Whether you’ve just moved to […]
January is one of our favorite months at Team CS because we have time to dive deep into headier topics like mindfulness and personal goals. With 2017 firmly in the rear view mirror, we thought it would be fun to use our first day back in the office to define our resolutions for the new […]
Gougères are part of a classic Burgundian apéritif, served with a glass of bubbly or wine. These airy little cheese puffs are made from savory pâte à choux dough, utilizing the same technique used to make sweet éclairs and profiteroles. See how Marjorie Taylor and Kendall Smith serve up this classic apéritif at their French cooking […]
The kids’ table is always a fun place to spend a holiday meal — a safe haven from the boring formalities of the adult dining room. (My cousin and I like to joke that we are “forever kids” because we still haven’t given up our seats at the super casual table in my aunt’s kitchen.) […]
Ask anyone on our team — Austin is a hard town to be a homebody in. What I mean is that there’s a once-in-a-lifetime concert, restaurant opening, or film festival happening just about every weekend here. That’s one of the reasons we love having our Camille Styles HQ based in Austin, but it’s also why […]
In an editorial meeting a few weeks back we were talking about what kinds of gift guides we like to look at. “I like the ones with LOTS of options,” said Chanel. “And I like when they’re divided by price point!” chimed in Carmen. “I think it’s cool when they’re organized by recipient,” said Camille. […]
If having personal experience with sinus problems qualifies you to speak to the topic, I’m basically a medical doctor. All joking aside — I’ve suffered from regular sinus infections for as long as I can remember. Ask anyone else who deals with this and they’ll tell you, it’s a frustrating and unfair condition that can […]
We’re big fans of the visionary floral designer, Ariella Chezar. She was among the first to abandon the uber modern, tightly-bunched floral style ubiquitous in the 90s for a looser, more natural approach to arrangements. Some might even say that her 2002 book, Flowers for the Table, single handedly changed the entire industry. In any […]
A few months back we received an email from a reader in Kansas City named Kelly. She wrote to us saying that her mother (and longtime reader of our site) Mary Lou Fickel would be turning 77 years old on Monday, October 30th. Mary Lou has always loved our Mono Monday series and she even […]
If there’s anything we’re more obsessed with than Jenni Kayne’s minimalist clothing, it’s stalking the designer’s personal property online. Her former Beverly Hills pad is basically a pinterest legend at this point, and her Lake Tahoe retreat is the long weekend of our dreams. Everything she touches turns to perfectly textured, neutral gold. That’s why […]
Before the inevitable war breaks out in the comments section about what the term “basic” really means, allow me to define it within the context of this piece. We’re using this word to mean predictable, average, ordinary, non-memorable — basically all of the descriptions that we don’t want to apply to our personal style! But […]
If there’s one workday errand I always love, it’s being the one who gets to drive over to Austin Flower Company and pick out flowers for a shoot. So when Camille had the idea for us to create a simple guide to fall flowers, I jumped at the chance to oversee the project. I knew […]
Back in August we sat down with former political advisor Naomi Wolf to talk about what we should be doing during a non-election year, and her insights were truly eye-opening. Naomi’s formidable resume extends beyond just politics — she’s also a New York Times best-selling author. Her 1990 book, The Beauty Myth, is considered a new […]
Be a scream queen.
When we were pitching ideas for this year’s collection of Cult Classic Movie Costumes, I really had to push hard to sell Troop Beverly Hills to the rest of the team. It turns out that I’m the only one in the office who’s old enough to have really grown up on this film, but I KNOW there […]
