Care Package for a New Mom

Just in the same way everyone told me I should be prepared for the gigantic life changes that come with becoming a mom, it seemed that I got even more knowing looks and words of advice about getting ready for what some say is an even bigger transition — having baby number two! We welcomed […]

10 Best Bold Tile Floors

White, cream, beige, bone, flax. These are the colors I most often turn to when looking at tile. They’re neutral, elegant, and understated, and totally on trend at the moment… but maybe I’m playing it safe? Maybe I’m too afraid to embrace color and pattern and let a room really shine to its full potential? […]

Be My Guest

As we head into the first weekend of Austin City Limits Music Festival, I am preparing for house guests. And there is truly nothing like a house guest to light a fire under your unfinished design projects! It is so useful to have a deadline to finally hang those curtains, frame that print, or even replace the lightbulb in […]

How to Take Amazing Vacation Photos

EDITOR’S NOTE: Team Camille Styles could easily be the founders of photographer Wynn Myers’ Fan Club. Her ethereal, colorful approach to photography always leaves us charmed and inspired. We all love seeing Wynn’s view of the world through her lens and getting to collaborate with her is an even bigger treat. After seeing her jaw dropping […]

How to Live Minimally

I am an accidental minimalist, mostly the result of making three cross-country moves in fewer than five years. As a result, I’ve learned to pack lightly, purchasing and keeping things that will be worth the schlep. But the more I’ve pared down, the more I’ve realized how owning less creates a lot of clarity. It […]

A Special Pre-Order Gift!

Before I wrote my first book, I didn’t really get why you’d want to pre-order a book before its release date. But as it turns out, pre-orders are a big deal and are one of the most powerful ways you can contribute to the success of an author whose work you love! A strong pre-order number encourages bookstores to carry the […]

Weekend Notes

Hope everyone’s having a lovely weekend so far! Highlights of mine include: farmers market shop, breakfast banh mi at Elizabeth Street, long walk around ladybird lake, getting a massage from my amazing cousin who recently launched her biz (best thing that’s ever happened to me), grilling homemade pizzas, and finishing this completely addictive book. And the […]

Floral Designer

Since moving to Austin eight years ago, floral designer Carly Blair has made quite a name for herself with her innovative and beautiful floral designs at Margot Blair Floral. Specializing in wedding and event designs, Carly describes her work as “edgy, romantic, and simply stunning.” We wholeheartedly agree and have been lucky enough to collaborate with […]

Feelin’ Like a Getaway

It’s true: even though summer is barely over, I’m already craving a little vacay. I know, I know, fall is supposed to be the time of year when we buckle down and refocus on work and projects that may have been neglected during the summer, but I’ve found that the busier life gets, the more […]

Weekend Notes

This weekend is for pulling on cozy socks, curling up with a good book, making big bowls of pasta, and pretending like it’s colder outside than it really is. After spending all of last weekend completely glued to my computer screen as we geared up for our new site launch, I’m determined to let emails wait […]

Olive & June Nail Salon

I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it, but this sublime sitting area is not the living room of a stylist or a blogger. In a first for this series, today we are talking about bringing home the look of — get this — a nail salon. The phrase nail salon typically conjures up a […]
