A Rockette

Ask any one of the 120 Rockettes how her dance career began, and there’a a good chance you’ll get an answer to the tune of: My parents enrolled me in ballet when I was 3 years old. Combine that early introduction to the sport with an annual family tradition that involves cozying up on the couch Thanksgiving morning to watch the […]

Cabin Fever

After watching hours on end of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks on Netflix, I’ve got a bad case of cabin fever — and no, I don’t mean the irritable, restless kind. I mean I am intensely in to all things alpine right now, from these anonymous ism deer socks from j. crew to this fair isle […]

How I Met My Mentor

Lately on the blog, we’ve been talking a lot about female mentorships: the importance of finding someone who’s walked in your shoes before and is willing to share the wisdom they’ve picked up along the way to inspire your ideas and actions. So, I’m really excited to be part of Interview magazine and La Crema Wines Statement Makers […]

Gift Guide for Guys

featured image by brad bridgers for man of the world Year after year, it invariably seems that some of our toughest gift recipients are guys: dads, brothers, boyfriends, husbands… they all seem to know exactly what they like and get most of it for themselves!

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 […]

Dream Kitchen with Vintage Charm

With the first major holiday feast under our belts, I’m getting excited for all the festivities to come. And if I work up the courage to host my own soirée this year, I’ll be taking inspiration from Dianna Agron’s casual yet refined entertaining style, whose kitchen boasts the most beautiful kitchen appliance known to man. If I had […]

Fowl Play

Inspiration strikes in the most unpredictable places. It’s not that I disliked chickens and roosters before, I’d just never been especially fond of them (their eggs, on the other hand, I’ve always been unabashedly obsessed with)… that is, until I stumbled upon these photos from “The Magnificent Chicken.” One glimpse of the dramatic fowl and I was pinning […]

The Allcorns

photographed by wynn myers In the spring of 2014, newlyweds Chris and Katie Allcorn did what so many crowded Austinites only dream of: packed up and got out of town. Turned out the small town lifestyle they longed for wasn’t too far away — it lay quietly waiting about 30 miles southeast of Austin in […]

The Chunky Knit

The word on the street (or at least, in our office) is that Camille’s mom knits up the world’s coziest and downright dreamiest knitted cowl scarves. So while I still yearn for my very own homemade chunky knit collection (hint hint) I’ve found myself fantasizing about cozy chunky sweaters, embellishing my wardrobe with warm knitted socks, and […]

From adorable ideas for place cards to votive candles made from apples, we’ve got […]

The First Thanksgiving

Unfortunately I don’t think I was blessed with the natural hostess gene. I am always in awe of Camille’s ability to create a beautiful experience for her guests and manage to relax and enjoy herself too. So I was more than a little relieved to read Camille’s hilarious account of the first Thanksgiving she hosted […]
