Styld.By: Winter Lunch Date
*photos by Jessica Pages Sometimes it’s sooo hard to get motivated to put on a cute outfit when it’s freezing outside, but don’t you end up feeling so much better when you take the time to don a thoughtful layered look (rather than piling on some bulky pieces that may provide warmth, but don’t score very many […]

The Gift of Gratitude
Is gratitude something that we feel, or is it something that we do? I think it’s both – although we usually think of it as a natural response to good things happening, we can also make a choice to feel it throughout the day, every day. And the thing that I’ve been noticing in my own life is […]
A Simple Holiday Crafternoon
We love featuring the creative folks who work to cultivate beauty in the everyday experience, and the girl behind Trouvé magazine is certainly one of them. Amanda Marko, designer and publisher of Trouvé, created this bi-annual magazine to “celebrate the creative lifestyle and those who live it.” Amanda does everything herself, from production and design to packaging and shipping, […]

A Gift Wrapping Party
Francis Ford Coppola’s grandmother, Maria Zasa, spoke four languages – English, Italian, Arabic and French and with each sip of wine she would offer a toast, “À votre Santé” – to your health. Today, Grandma Zasa Coppola’s memory, and her celebration of family and togetherness, is honored with Coppola’s Votre Santé collection of wine. Inspired by […]
Your Guide to a Healthy Holiday
Like many of you, I’m dashing through this week: tying up loose ends at work, finishing up holiday shopping and making my rounds at all the holiday parties. Add in running, bike rides and squeezing in every pilates class I can, and essentially every second of every day is spoken for until I get to […]
How to Have a Stress-Free Holiday
It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but with the endless to-do lists, maxed-out bank account, and full-to-the-brim calendar, it can also be the most stressful. Here on the blog, we talk a lot about how to make the holidays beautiful and delicious, but I also didn’t want the season to slip […]
Simple Tips for Stylish Holiday Hosting
There’s no doubt that hosting during the holiday season is a learned skill that gets better with practice. I’ll never forget the first Christmas bash I attempted to throw singlehandedly — I was way too ambitious with the labor-intensive food, the detailed decor, the guest list and the gifts, and the hours leading up to the event can only […]
10 Best Holiday Party Appetizers
One of my favorite holiday traditions is my family’s annual Christmas party every December. We spend several days cooking and preparing our party spread, complete with my dad’s Swedish meatballs, my mom’s caramelized onion and feta cheese pizza, and my selection of seasonal desserts. Then on a Sunday night, we fill our house with dear […]
Rethinking Holiday Decor
There are few things in life that can elicit the level of excitement and nostalgia that holiday decorations can. Of course I still get those giddy feelings when I see a beautifully lit tree and sentimental ornaments, but living in a small space now I can’t help but think “yes, but what about storing them the rest of the year?” […]
Give the Gift of Tea
Hard to believe that today marks the two week countdown to the big day! How are you all doing with your shopping, decoration, advent calendars, party planning, vacations, and everything that falls in between? Around here, the holidays seems to have creeped up on us in a major way… so much so that we’ve opted to do an office-wide Secret […]
A Rockette
Ask any one of the 120 Rockettes how her dance career began, and there’a a good chance you’ll get an answer to the tune of: My parents enrolled me in ballet when I was 3 years old. Combine that early introduction to the sport with an annual family tradition that involves cozying up on the couch Thanksgiving morning to watch the […]
Our Editors’ Gift Guide Picks
I think it’s safe to say that we all take our gift giving quite seriously here at Camille Styles HQ. Whether it’s our current interoffice game of Secret Santa, a perfect plaything for the tiny tot (Miss Phoebe, of course!), or a special something for our special someone, we’re all stepping up our gift-giving game this holiday season.

A Midwinter Night’s Dream
A beautifully-set table, flickering candlelight, platters overflowing with rich food, and carefully chosen wines to complement it. Sounds like a dream of a holiday gathering, doesn’t it? We thought so too, which is why we positively swooned when we laid eyes on the Midwinter Night’s Dream-themed dinner party that best friends Gillian Segal and Sophie Collins designed together, brimming […]

Cabin Fever
After watching hours on end of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks on Netflix, I’ve got a bad case of cabin fever — and no, I don’t mean the irritable, restless kind. I mean I am intensely in to all things alpine right now, from these anonymous ism deer socks from j. crew to this fair isle […]

Creamy Pumpkin Oat Bran Porridge
Hot breakfast cereal may sound like the healthy and responsible choice in the morning, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be equally delicious! It’s all about the add-ins (obviously) and in the fall & winter months, the options are really endless. I love my oatmeal, oat bran, etc. with tons of warm spices and something special like pumpkin […]
