The countdown to summer has officially begun, which only means one thing: backyard barbecue and patio party season. We had so much fun teaming up with Target to show y’all how we transformed the patio at Camille Styles HQ into the ultimate party spot. To celebrate the feeling of sweet summer freedom that overcomes us […]

photos by kristen kilpatrick We’ve been counting down to summer by prepping the patio at the Camille Styles Bungalow for outdoor party season!

Oh, and as unofficial president of […]

Mackenzie Anne Smith is a woman after my own heart. What makes us kindred spirits, you ask? It’s simple: our shared belief that everything tastes better with a carby starchy doughy element.
