Blooming Jasmine

Is jasmine blooming where you are? The unmistakable scent of the precious white blooms is filling the streets in Texas, and there’s no better indicator of spring. Though it only sticks around for a few weeks here, the arrival of jasmine never fails to fill me with nostalgia and past memories of Mother’s Day, the first […]

An Arizona Cinco de Mayo Bash

concept and styling by ricki weiner • photographed by heather kinkel It’s no secret that we’ve got a weakness for fiestas here at Camille Styles, and when we got wind of this creative supergroup in Phoenix we couldn’t wait to see their take on Cinco de Mayo. Ricki Weiner, stylist and curator of la Ricki, […]

Fruity Candy Bar Wrappers

Around here, nothing’s more exciting than getting our hands on a new tech gadget, so when the Sprout by HP arrived on our office doorstep, we couldn’t unpack the thing fast enough. We’d read all about the revolutionary computer’s capabilities and seen lots of other creations by browsing the #sproutbyhp hashtag, but actually getting to use it […]

A Whimsical Fiesta

Stepping into Love Ding is an interior design junkie’s dream: mid century furnishings and bohemian vintage pieces from all around the globe. And maybe it’s the clean palette with pops of colorful whimsy, but something about the space is just so Austin, too. With one of this town’s favorite holidays approaching fast, we turned to Love […]

A Kentucky Derby Day Lunch

photographed by Kate Zimmerman for Garden & Gun shot on location at the Texas Alpha Pi Beta Phi House We’ve never been to Churchill Downs, but we’re pretty sure that derby watching parties are neck-and-neck with the real thing when it comes to fun. This year we partnered with our friends at Garden & Gun to […]

Beauty in Bloom Garden Party

Since the season of garden parties, pastel frocks and bunches of tulips is officially upon us, the team and I were excited to partner with Boots Beauty for a celebration of all things SPRING we hosted in my backyard last week. I’ve been especially into natural, plant-based skincare products during my pregnancy, so I was super curious to […]

A Bohemian Picnic

When a stylist, photographer and foodie get together to throw a backyard dinner party, you know it’s going to be good, so we were thrilled when good friends Renee, Selina and Kerry sent us snaps from their bohemian picnic complete with a wildflower-adorned tabletop, whimsical dreamcatchers and even a pitched teepee. Renee Elliott’s art for pairing vintage and modern […]

Your Indoor Plant Guide

Is it just me, or are indoor plants having a moment right now? It’s hard to imagine that something as classic and mundane as a plant could ever be “out of style”, but these days nearly every home I visit could be mistaken for a greenhouse — mine included. Just the other day I found myself […]

10 Best Bucket Bags

Until recently, I was pretty convinced that my current collection of handbags included something for every kind of occasion. I could stash everything I needed in a large satchels for a full day of errands, and smaller clutches complemented both casual and dressy evenings alike. But, when the bucket bag came on the scene (in quite possibly the biggest way […]

An Easter Brunch with Timothy Corrigan

We first featured Timothy Corrigan‘s spectacular eye-for-design a couple years ago when we shared his holiday entertaining style at the fabulously renovated Château du Grand-Lucé in France (a post with such grandeur, I find myself revisiting it for inspiration way too often.) A few months later, we travelled back to the Loire Valley for another taste […]
