The Menu for Your Next Fall Brunch

editor’s note: I found a new kitchen staple in Eric Prum and Josh Williams’ cookbook, Host. Chock full of inspired-yet-approachable recipes and advice for creating delicious meals for friends, the book truly feels like it was written for me and others like me who just like to keep things simple and tasty. But if you thought this cookbook was […]

The Art of La Soirée

Last month, I headed to Dallas to host the ultimate seasonal dinner party: the latest in Cointreau’s legendary The Art of La Soirée series that’s all about inspiring creative and unforgettable entertaining. It’s quite the coveted ticket, and guests were treated to a seasonal menu paired with thoughtfully-crafted cocktails in the sleek design district restaurant, OAK. Keep […]

Dark Paths

Before Chanel’s wedding, Michael and I spent a few days in Munich and took a day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle in Füssen. I’m so glad we did — it ended up being one of the most memorable parts of an epic trip. The castle, built in the late 1880s by the “mad” King Ludwig II, reflects all the […]

My Front Porch Has Never Looked Scarier

I’ve got to admit that I finally feel like a real grown-up: for the first time ever, I decked out my front porch for Halloween! Inspired by Phoebe’s obsession with all of the scary front porches around our neighborhood, I decided that this was the year to finally go for it — and decorating the space ended up […]

Asparagus, Quinoa, & Rice Salad with Goat Cheese & Maple-Tahini Dressing

This post is sponsored by Mars SEEDS OF CHANGE® and Target It’s become a running Thanksgiving joke at our house. Each year when I start planning the menu for our family feast, everyone else votes to have the exact same menu items as last year, but I just can’t help myself from spicing things up with something a little different.

How This Juice Queen Hosts Brunch For Friends

My favorite stories in our Entertaining With series have one thing in common: when the hostess is having every bit as much fun as her guests, it shows. After many mutual friends told us we had to meet, Juice Society founder Danielle Sobel and I finally bonded over omelettes at Elizabeth Street Café, and I was immediately impressed by […]

Boursin Cheese Witch Fingers

Just a few weeks until Halloween and I swear I could celebrate this holiday forever. To me, there’s simply no challenge more fun than figuring out how to make things spooky but also beautiful (see our spine-chilling but chic Halloween dinner party for the evidence!) and today’s Halloween appetizer recipe is another example of that. Because let’s be […]

Wax Dipped Flowers

Did y’all catch the black-on-black Halloween dinner party we threw last week? Our tablescape was packed with candelabras, vintage books, creepy photos, and old apothecary jars. Wanting to stay on theme with our spooky vibe, I coated traditional red roses with black wax to create a gorgeous Halloween dinner party favor. Today, I’m showing you how to recreate […]

Heathers Group Costume

We needed some pro help when it came to creating this very specific look, so we called up our friend and stylist Dagny Piasecki of SHDW Studios to help us dress like real “mean girls” from the 80’s. Dagny has an amazing personal collection of vintage, which she graciously loaned to us for the shoot. Footnote: If you haven’t already seen […]

DIY Tropicana Girl Costume

This colorful costume was definitely our favorite to put together! We fell in love with the bright colors, bold patterns, and fun accessories. Our chiquita costume can be executed in so many different ways that it suites any body type and any form of personal style. We went crazy with an abundance of accessories and […]

7 Group Halloween Costumes for Your Squad

It’s not a joke when I say Chanel and I think about Halloween all year long. Our annual costume shoot is probably the most fun day of the year here at Camille Styles (and absolutely the only time we get to make Camille dress up like a baseball player). Last year’s roundup of couples costume ideas […]
