Weekend Notes

(Thought this sweet shot of Mimi Thorisson and her daughter was particularly fitting for Mother’s Day weekend. Mimi is definitely one of the coolest, classiest moms I know, and somehow makes having 6 kids – with another on the way – appear effortless. And she definitely makes me want to pick up and move to […]

10 Best Lessons From Our Moms

It’s strange when you stop and think about it: with all the years our moms spent wiping our tears, packing our lunches, and tucking us in at night, there’s only one day a year set aside to appreciate them. It’s a thankless job at times, but an undeniably important one. The lessons instilled in us […]

How to Be Happier Now in 9 Simple Steps

Lately I’ve been on a quest of sorts — a quest to understand happiness. It started with watching documentaries about the human condition like I AM and 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama, and ultimately led me to stumble upon an incredible site called Happier. Happier is an app for your phone — I can […]

On My Nightstand

It seems that the busier life gets, the more nonfiction I read… maybe I feel like I’m being more “productive” with my downtime? Probably not the healthiest attitude, but I still have some real jewels in this month’s reading selections, from a look at why we all feel so overwhelmed and how to break the […]

Weekend Notes

Thank goodness it’s Saturday… anyone else in desperate need of a day to hit the slow down button on life and take a bit of a reprieve from the nonstop to-do’s of the workweek? I’ve got brunching, baking, and closet organization on my agenda, and since it looks like temps are hitting the 90’s today, our poolside chairs […]

DIY :: Pressed Flower Gift Wrap

If you caught last week’s round-up of our favorite Mother’s Day presents, you may have a plan for what to give your mom this year… but have you given any thought to how you’ll be wrapping it? After all, gift wrapping is a great way to express creativity and put that extra special touch on […]

Weekend Notes

Morning, lovelies! I’m in Dallas at a conference and doing work meetings this weekend, and while it’s been so good catching up with some of my best blogger friends from around the country, I’ve really missed my usual weekend cuddle time with Phoebe today! Looking forward to getting home and squeezing in some laid-back family time […]

Besties :: Laney and Dawn

If there are any friends we tend to live vicariously through, they’re the ones who live in Manhattan. We couldn’t be more excited to catch up with Laney Crowell and Dawn Spinner Davis on a blustery day in the city for our second installment of “Besties”. An afternoon strolling the West Village with these two […]

Monochromatic Monday :: Etched in Stone

There’s an old French proverb that says, “Write injuries in sand, kindnesses in marble.” Such a lovely way to express the idea that, while negative thoughts and emotions slip from memory, we should keep the gracious acts of others front and center in our hearts. There’s nothing that conveys permanence better than marble (just take […]

Weekend Notes

Happy Easter weekend, lovelies! Hope yours have all gotten off to a great start. Anyone hosting a big meal for family or friends? We’re headed to Adam’s parents house for Phoebe’s first real Easter egg hunt (last year she wasn’t walking yet, so…) I’m bringing a big salad as my contribution to the meal, but […]

Love + Work :: Gail Chovan and Evan Voyles

Meeting Gail and Evan, one quickly gets the sense of a rare and truly artistic union. She, with her untamed blonde hair and strikingly tall frame dressed in signature black. He, with his broken-in denim and rugged good looks. Together, they’re the perfectly unexpected combination of yen and yang, and as a couple have been […]

Weekend Notes

Happy weekend, friends! It’s looking to be a busy weekend full of out-of-town guests, birthday parties, this fun picnic, and catching up on a few work to-do’s that I didn’t quite check off my list on Friday. But first things first: finding the perfect brunch spot to kickoff the weekend! What are all of you […]

Camille Styles Entertaining :: Now On Pre-order!

It’s felt a little like the days leading up to Christmas morning around here as I’ve waited anxiously to show you guys the first real shot of my book… and announce that it’s officially on pre-order! It seems so surreal to think back to just over a year ago when I announced that I was […]
