Morning, friends! It’s been a cozy, fun weekend so far… On Friday, I was feeling pretty zapped from the past week that was full of book events and other work stuff, so we cancelled the babysitter and our multiple Friday night social plans, stayed in, tried a new (amazing) roast chicken recipe, and hung-out in front […]
featured image via adc/rex usaThis month’s On My Nightstand picks range from a guidebook on home organization to a memoir from a fashion icon to a novel on finding your soulmate to fun projects to explore with your kids. It’s a diverse list, to be sure. As it starts to get cold, this is the […]
Happy weekend! This morning I’m feeling so thankful for sunny skies — my Austin book party is happening on a grassy lawn outside Hotel Ella at brunch today, and the weather is definitely cooperating to make it a perfect celebration. Can’t wait to see so many of you there! (it’s not to late to RSVP!) What are all […]
Do you have a mentor? A person you can (a) go to for advice, and (b) trust their wisdom enough that you actually take it to heart and allow it to inspire your actions? I’ve been thinking a lot about female mentorships lately, and how important it is to support each other in our unique […]
I woke up early this morning (despite “gaining an hour” for daylight savings), so I brewed a cup of chai, dragged my laptop to the living room couch, and lit the first fire of the season. It feels like heaven to luxuriate in the comforts of home after being away all week, first in NYC […]
“Do one thing every day that scares you.” At one time or another, we’ve all heard Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous quote, and while I can’t say I succeed in this every single day, I pride myself in taking the road less traveled and trying things I once deemed as impossible. A few weeks ago, over the course of […]
This weekend is full of last-minute prep… I almost feel like I’m getting ready to have a baby as I double check that everything’s in order before I hop on a flight to NYC tomorrow in anticipation of my book launch on Tuesday. I’m still in the throes of picking out outfits and packing for events […]
A family that plays together stays together. But what about a family that works together, from home, across two different cities? Judging by the life that the Wixoms have made, they not only stay together, but flourish and make adorable babies. Austinites Kris and Alisa Wixom (say that two times fast!) are co-creative directors for advertising […]
It’s ACL Festival weekend here in Austin, and for us, it’s been one of extremes: Friday was action-packed at the festival (Chvrches, Sam Smith, Foster the People), then yesterday we woke up to pouring rain and decided to sit it out and embrace a cozy day at home. Movies, popcorn, perusing Pinterest, making soup… I […]
Just in the same way everyone told me I should be prepared for the gigantic life changes that come with becoming a mom, it seemed that I got even more knowing looks and words of advice about getting ready for what some say is an even bigger transition — having baby number two! We welcomed […]
Whether it’s a trip to the spa, a long hike in the woods, or an actual vacation, sometimes you just have to get away from it all. I’m definitely one who requires a total change of scenery to step away from life’s daily demands, and as Kelly wisely said, hit the reset button. Since work […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Team Camille Styles could easily be the founders of photographer Wynn Myers’ Fan Club. Her ethereal, colorful approach to photography always leaves us charmed and inspired. We all love seeing Wynn’s view of the world through her lens and getting to collaborate with her is an even bigger treat. After seeing her jaw dropping […]
I am an accidental minimalist, mostly the result of making three cross-country moves in fewer than five years. As a result, I’ve learned to pack lightly, purchasing and keeping things that will be worth the schlep. But the more I’ve pared down, the more I’ve realized how owning less creates a lot of clarity. It […]
Hope everyone’s having a lovely weekend so far! Highlights of mine include: farmers market shop, breakfast banh mi at Elizabeth Street, long walk around ladybird lake, getting a massage from my amazing cousin who recently launched her biz (best thing that’s ever happened to me), grilling homemade pizzas, and finishing this completely addictive book. And the […]
