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 […]

Dark Fables

I love Halloween because it’s the one time of year I get a free pass to explore the darker side of my aesthetic — and I suffer from a lifelong proclivity towards all things antique, spooky, and strange. The older I get, the more I appreciate the subtler charms of my favorite holiday: the inevitable […]

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 […]

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 […]

10 Best Homemade Doughnut Recipes

It’s always a good day when the topic in question is doughnuts. Or is it donut? It seems that these two words are often used interchangeably these days, but I wanted to figure out the story behind the variations on the term for this sweet, sticky, scrumptious treat. After some light reading and research, I found that both […]

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? […]
