7 Pieces That Will Add French Style to Your Home

Stir fries, pastas, fajitas – these are well-practiced dishes in my kitchen. But one cuisine that still seems to elude me is French cooking. I admire blogs like Mimi Thorisson’s Manger that manage to make it look so simple and of course delicious. So this year I’d like to master her roast chicken with herbs recipe, […]

Jessi & Chloe

During her time on the Camille Styles team, Jessi was obsessed with dogs. The two of us would unwind at the end of almost every workday by googling puppy photos and researching breeds… in fact, our ongoing conversation was a big part of what inspired the Fox & Hound series! Shortly after Jessi spread her wings to pursue fashion blogger-dom […]

Kim’s Modern Blue-Toned Bungalow

Some people seem to be born with great taste, and today’s subject, Kim West (who also happens to be one of my best friends) is without a doubt one of them. Though in some ways our aesthetics are polar opposite — on a recent trip to Miami she declared that she wanted “to move into” […]

12 Dreamiest Canopy Beds

“Wait, I can’t believe we haven’t done a roundup of canopy beds before,” was a sentence uttered in this office that was met with a moment of silence, followed by hysterical laughter. “What? Who doesn’t like a canopy?” I defended myself in earnest. “No, we like them…” Chanel said. “It’s just that they’re so… specific,” […]

Noël and Will

To learn the story of Noël and Will Bridges is to sign up for a short course in Austin history. Ten years ago, Will (together with a small group of friends) quietly opened a new restaurant in the old Schneider Brothers Building downtown under the peculiar promise of “fancy barbecue”. Today, Lamberts is an institution […]

5 Essentials for a Well-Designed Room

Have you ever decorated an entire room only to be left thinking that something was… missing? I know that beautiful homes take time to curate but I’m guilty of lacking patience in this arena. Is it really so much to ask to have my home look like I’ve lived a full life in it for years, within months […]

Springtime in New Orleans

I’ve just returned from an indulgent weekend in New Orleans (is there any other kind?), and I can’t think of a better place to have fallen off the wagon with the #CamilleStylesCleanse. (Hey, I almost made it seven days.) But if you’ve ever been to the big easy then you already know — this is […]

10 Jeans That’ll Make You Give Up Your Skinnies

I never thought I’d say it, but suddenly my favorite skinny jeans aren’t looking quite as current as I thought they always would. It shouldn’t come as such a surprise — I mean, haven’t pant trends fluctuated in a continual cycle since the dawn of, well, women wearing pants? Still, trying on that first pair […]

DIY Citrus Wreath

There’s always a steady stream of books arriving at the office for review, and I’m definitely not complaining. Occasionally, one really stands out from the rest, like Ariella Chezar’s new book The Flower Workshop that arrived on our doorstep a couple weeks ago. We asked Ariella to stop by with the details on what turned out to be our favorite project […]

How to Turn Your Bedroom Into an Oasis

I’ve painted my bedrooms various shades of turquoise, gray and purple over the years, and had all manner of colorful bedding and prints on the walls. As a child, and especially as a teenager, my bedroom was my domain to express my creativity. After college I painted my walls a dark blue and had velvet […]

Spring Showers

The weather in Austin couldn’t be better today. Mid-60’s and not a cloud in the sky, it’s truly the definition of a perfect Spring day. So would you believe me if I’d told you I wished it was raining? I don’t know when it happened, but over the last few years I’ve fallen increasingly more in love with […]

10 Best Colorful Bathrooms

When imagining my dream home, the bathroom is the spot that’s often hardest to pin down: would I choose a spa-like minimalist look or go with some bold color scheme that makes a statement? After spending a few hours down the Pinterest rabbit hole (research!), I realized that incorporating color into a room doesn’t have to be over the top […]

Sunlit Siesta

I can still remember looking out the window of my childhood home and recognizing a certain quality of light that meant my mother would come looking for me soon. It was naptime light — the hot, still, mid-afternoon light of a Texas summer. As a child, this specific lighting would often inspire me to hide […]
