How To Choose the Perfect Rug

If her entertaining style and coffee table styling skills didn’t already have you crushing on Ann Edgerton, something tells me today’s conversation is sure to do the trick. We invited the design guru behind Ann Lowe Design to give us a much-needed lesson in finding that elusive perfect rug… because most of us know what we like and know what we don’t like, but still think […]

Giveaway :: $500 Worth of Holiday Cards

No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you — those are in fact jingle bells, red and white ribbons, and evergreen details in the image above. Believe it or not, we’re just a couple months out from the holiday season, which means its officially permissible to start thinking about the greeting cards you’ll be sending family and friends. […]

Besties :: Marissa and Katie

It’s a small world sometimes — when we reached out to our friend Katie Crown at ELLE Magazine to talk about being part of our Besties series, we were surprised and delighted to learn that her best friend is Marissa Lippert, a New York nutritionist (and now restauranteur) whose work we’ve admired for years. We […]

Monochromatic Monday :: Indian Summer Part II

Sometimes we play a game here in the office where we look through all the old posts in the mono monday feed and pick our favorites. It’s somewhat mesmerizing to watch the seasons change over and over through the feed, and fun to look back on the old trends we explored — some good and […]

How to Deal with Disappointment

I’m a pretty “glass half full” kind of gal, which serves me well except for those times when my assumptions that the best will happen don’t really pan out. It’s those times that I’m taken off-guard, shocked to learn that, occasionally, the worst does indeed happen. Today we’re talking about disappointment, that universal feeling that is an […]

Behind-the-Scenes of My Book!

Hi guys! I have been dying to share this behind-the-scenes trailer video that shows the making of my first book, Camille Styles Entertaining. Big thanks to Eve Tarlo and team for capturing the fun and madness from some of the 20+ photo shoots that went into this project, as well as the inspiration that led me to […]

Weekend Notes

Popping in on this lovely long weekend with just a handful of reads I enjoyed over the past week. Hope you’ll be reading them poolside, sprawled out in a hammock, or at least on your comfiest couch (c’mon, it’s the weekend!) We’ve had a fun one so far: sort-of tailgating yesterday (or as my friend said, “glam-gating“), making […]

Alyson Fox’s Hill Country Escape

“The listing we found just said ‘VIEW,’” says Alyson Fox of the rustic green hilltop she and her husband (creative director Derek Dollahite) would eventually build their future home on. “There were no pictures or anything. And when we finally drove out here, we knew right away it was special.” The two decided to take […]

How To Style the Coffee Table

Happy Monday, folks! We’re kicking off the week with a much needed lesson in styling from one of our favorite interior designers in town, Ann Lowe Edgerton (though you might remember her from this gorgeous entertaining story). With an impressive roster of both commercial and residential clients, Ann knows a thing or two about designing spaces that […]

Weekend Notes

Is it true? Could it really be the last weekend of summer? Sure, temps will still hit triple digits here for a few more weeks, but once I spot that first kid with a backpack headed to school on Monday morning, the mental shift will have begun as I realize it’s time to set some goals […]

Essentials for A Modern Bath

The bathroom is the spot where I start and end the day — blow drying my hair in the morning as I consider the day ahead, putting on makeup before I head out the door, and then in the evening, winding down as I sink (finally!) into the tub. Luckily, since the bathroom is such a small spot […]

Shibori Inspiration Board

Monochromatic Monday :: Indigo Shibori

Don’t make the mistake of calling it tie-dye — today’s board is inspired by the much more glamorous and way more hip version of everyone’s favorite summer camp activity. Made by twisting, folding and binding fabric, then dying it with natural dye (in this case, gorgeous indigo), the result is a rich pattern that looks […]

Weekend Notes

Today I’m spending the day with four of my best girl friends — having lunch, laying by a pool, and most of all, just catching up on life. In our early twenties, the five of us (plus a couple more) were thick as thieves, but since half of our group has moved away from Austin, it’s a […]

Live Kindly :: Buying Your First Road Bike

When I moved to Austin almost 4 years ago, one thing was very clear: this city has a strong cycling community. Cycling wasn’t prevalent in the small Nebraska town that I grew up in, but after my Dad raced his first biathlon in the 90’s and a family member rode RAGBRAI (a seven-day bike ride across Iowa) several […]
