Dressing up the Leather Jacket

I used to think that the biggest temptation this time of the year were the sweet treats being passed around at every turn, but now the older and wiser me realizes that the real temptation is shopping for yourself while checking off that holiday list.  Am I right?  How are we supposed to resist all […]

Gap Styld.by: Color Play

Next up in our Styld.By series with Gap: a look that’s perfect for hitting the streets of downtown Austin to find gifts for everyone on my holiday shopping list (have you tackled yours yet? I still have a LOT to do!) I brightened up my skinny black pants and simple cozy tunic with a bright pop of color from my […]

Best Beauty Gifts 2014

‘Tis the season: for socializing, merrymaking, and, of course, finding the perfect gift for every person on that very long list of yours. I’ll admit that I’m not necessarily the best or most original gifter in the world — I mean, what does one get one’s beloved father-in-law who neither wants nor needs anything? — […]

Best Coats of the Season

These past couple of weeks have included a whole lot of coat chatter here at the Camille Styles office. Chanel got her hands on the perfect denim jacket (steal!), Camille scored herself an Emmerson Fry wardrobe staple, Kelly and I swooned over a few J. Crew gems (for petites), and Jenn is still scavenging the Internet […]

The Long Bob

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), […]

The Jewel Embellished Dress

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 […]

How to Fake Second-Day Hair

My hair is a sassy bugger, let me tell you. But, to be completely honest, I both love and hate that my hair is so finicky — as in, dry some days, flat on others, straightish and fine sometimes and wavy and thick-feeling the next minute — precisely because it’s given this beauty product junkie […]

How to Avoid Hat Hair

Maritza Buelvas here, and I’ve developed a fun and easy technique for avoiding hat hair, keeping your hair in place from […]

Alaina and Danielle, The Everygirl

photos by katie kett It’s not everyday you come across a pair of best friends who live together and work together. Turns out the co-founders of our favorite Chicago-based blog, The Everygirl, aren’t your average girls at all. Alaina Kaczmarski and Danielle Moss met at a Christmas party in the winter of 2010 and through […]

Dressed-Up Sweatpant

It’s no secret that these last two months of the year are jam-packed with events, engagements, and errand-running galore.  I often talk about the need for looks that can play chameleon with my ever-changing schedule, and the “sweat pant for day” trend is perfect for running around, grabbing a quick bite, an afternoon meeting, or […]

Southern Living

Although this post is a part of our Office Style series, it could just as easily have been featured as one of our Dream Job posts because who doesn’t fantasize about working in a place next door to a test kitchen cooking up the most delectable Southern-inspired dishes, or an office stocked with a prop […]

Best Natural Beauty Brands

I’ll be completely honest with you: a die-hard chemical-eschewing natural-beauty maven I am not. After all, until recently, I was a full-time beauty editor, and trying out products (both natural and not) was in my job description. It simply wasn’t an option to decide to only sample chemical-free, paraben-free items. Plus, as a total beauty […]
