Portrait of a Mentor

Do you have a mentor? A person you can (a) go to for advice, and (b) trust their wisdom enough that you actually take it to heart and allow it to inspire your actions? I’ve been thinking a lot about female mentorships lately, and how important it is to support each other in our unique […]

Apple Picking Season

Is it obvious that we’re in an autumnal state of mind around here? If today’s apple-themed inspiration board doesn’t have you feeling the same, I don’t know what will. Camille and I got to spend a few days in New York last week, and the cold temps and changing leaves we experienced there were such a […]

Weekend Notes

I woke up early this morning (despite “gaining an hour” for daylight savings), so I brewed a cup of chai, dragged my laptop to the living room couch, and lit the first fire of the season. It feels like heaven to luxuriate in the comforts of home after being away all week, first in NYC […]

Fashion at Home

As an interior addict, my design fix is not limited to the pages of magazines and bloggers’ home tours. I intently study the homes of movie characters, the occasional nail salon, and in this case, the setting of a Jack Spade lookbook. Fashion and furnishings can sometimes feel like two disparate parts of your shopping list, but this […]

Book Party + Brunch in Austin!

You guys knew I had to do something extra special to celebrate the launch of Camille Styles Entertaining in my hometown, so we’re throwing an Austin-style brunch on the lawn of the gorgeous Hotel Ella and you’re invited! Think mimosa bar, live band The Cold Irons, and a smorgasbord of Southern brunch favorites… and of course, I’ll be there […]

It’s Here!!!

After nearly two years of working on this project, I woke up this morning pinching myself that my book, Camille Styles Entertaining, hits bookstore shelves and doorsteps around the country today. I am so excited to finally share the book, with its 75 original recipes, tons of floral design tips, inspiring table designs, and ideas for living […]

Weekend Notes

Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend so far! The weather is gorgeous here — that temperature where you step outside and feel nothing because it’s the perfect balance between not-hot and not-cold and you can finally run around without breaking a sweat. We’ve been doing stuff around the house (laundry, organizing, yard work), and […]

How to Hide Your TV

If you’re into movie nights, live sports, or the occasional heart stopping episode of Scandal, then a television is probably a part of your living room decor. It is a rare sight to see one in a design magazine, so it can be a challenge searching for inspiring ways to style them. In this gorgeous Portland loft, […]

The Wixoms

A family that plays together stays together. But what about a family that works together, from home, across two different cities? Judging by the life that the Wixoms have made, they not only stay together, but flourish and make adorable babies. Austinites Kris and Alisa Wixom (say that two times fast!) are co-creative directors for advertising […]

Book Launch at West Elm & Tour Dates!

It’s here! The official invite to my book launch party in NYC, plus our first round of tour dates (mark your calendars!) are finally up, and this whole journey I’ve been on for the past 2 years is suddenly feeling very real…There’s no doubt that one of the parts of the book release that I’m most […]

Pumpkin Spice

Is anyone else currently drooling over all things pumpkin? Here in Texas, we’ve been greeted by a few too many cold weather teasers, which only beg for constant daydreams of falling leaves and autumn anticipations. Enter dreams of bundling up in warm knits and flannels, the sweet scents of a burning pumpkin soufflé candle, the laughter of children […]

Weekend Notes

It’s ACL Festival weekend here in Austin, and for us, it’s been one of extremes: Friday was action-packed at the festival (Chvrches, Sam Smith, Foster the People), then yesterday we woke up to pouring rain and decided to sit it out and embrace a cozy day at home. Movies, popcorn, perusing Pinterest, making soup… I […]
