Cinco de Mayo Taquitos y Margaritas
Here in Austin, we know how to throw one heck of a Cinco de Mayo party. I mean, the margarita is practically our official drink, and tacos might as well be our city mascot, so we get in some good practice on the other 364 days of the year. I always embrace the challenge of […]
A Spicy Cinco de Mayo Potluck with Cholula
Y’all are going to get a major dose of Cinco de Mayo inspiration from us this week, and it kicks off today with this colorful fiesta potluck that I hosted for a few friends last week. The vibrant tabletop and festive vibe were inspired by the array of Cholula bottles on the table — we incorporated my favorite hot sauce […]
Host a Grown-Up Slumber Party
Our team recently spent an entire afternoon in the office reminiscing over the fun of childhood sleepovers — the brat pack movies, the pizza, the epic games of truth or dare. So when our friends at Botanics invited us to throw a grown-up slumber party with their gorgeous plant-based skincare, it was an obvious yes. We couldn’t […]
Springtime in New Orleans
I’ve just returned from an indulgent weekend in New Orleans (is there any other kind?), and I can’t think of a better place to have fallen off the wagon with the #CamilleStylesCleanse. (Hey, I almost made it seven days.) But if you’ve ever been to the big easy then you already know — this is […]
A Bohemian Earth Day Picnic
I heard a staggering report on the news this morning: Did you know that in the next century, it’s now estimated that our sea levels could rise 6 ft? That might not sound like much, but it’s double the amount that scientists had previously predicted, meaning our generation and our children’s generation could be more directly affected […]

Giveaway: A Bohemian Mother’s Day Brunch!
We’re lucky to be part of a pretty special and dynamic group of female friends here in Austin. There are so many creative women here doing big things — running their own businesses, writing for major publications, editing video… the list goes on. Some of them also happen to be mothers, and if there’s anything […]

A Robin’s Egg Blue Easter Brunch
Even though Easter is less than one week away, we like to think that most of the design elements and recipes associated with the holiday can be repurposed all spring-long. That means that even if you don’t celebrate Easter or if you’re not hosting this year, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll still find today’s brunch inspiring: […]
My House Party with WhoWhatWear
Y’all may have noticed a few #HousePartyInTheHills Instagrams last week as we prepped for the biggest party I’ve ever thrown at my house. I teamed up with WhoWhatWear for a poolside fête during sxStyle, inviting tastemakers who were in town for the festival to join us for snacks off the grill by Launderette and beats […]
Cheetah is the New Black
Effortless style. It’s fascinating to observe those rare women who truly have it as they throw on their favorite worn-in white tee shirt and instantly look incredibly chic. Alicia Lund, Cali-based blogger behind Cheetah is the New Black, is without a doubt one such gal. She has the type of pedigree you might imagine: former fashion […]
12 Best Off The Shoulder Tops
If you ask me, off-the-shoulder tops never went out of style. Much like wide leg jeans, I’ve always thought the cut to be ultra stylish and flattering, and even though mainstream fashion is just telling us to love them right now, I’ll forever have a place in my heart for the look. Not only does an off-the-shoulder […]
10 Secrets of Stylish Hosts
When our brilliant friends from Margot Blair Floral and Mint & Maple joined forces to host a workshop on the Art of Hosting, we begged them to share their secrets here on the blog, too — these are the pros, y’all. Even the best of us can get stressed at the thought of hosting a dinner party, so any inspiration for making […]
The Happiest Spring Brunch Ever
Why does the color yellow get such a bad rap? Most of us don’t think we have the right complexion to wear it, and when it comes to designing a table, well, even we’ll admit it’s never the first (or third) hue we turn to. Even in our color-driven Monochromatic Monday series, yellow appears least frequently of all. […]
How to Make Macarons at Elizabeth Street Cafe
Anytime out-of-town friends come to Austin, one of the first places I take them is Elizabeth Street Cafe. I know I can’t go wrong with what is arguably the cutest café in town (I mean, have you seen the bright pink and turquoise exterior?!) and treating them to the fresh mango and cucumber salad or a warm bowl of bún accompanied […]
Brunch in the Garden with kate spade new york
Now that the holidays are under our belts, it’s officially acceptable to start dreaming of al fresco entertaining with light, fresh flavors and the sun on our shoulders. To celebrate the first hints of spring, we teamed up with our friends at kate spade new york for a fresh and flirty brunch in my garden — thanks […]
A Valentine Video from Us to You (and free printables!)
When we had our first shoot day with director Eve Tarlo back in January, I couldn’t wait to work on this assignment. While Camille and Chanel were busy in the kitchen, I was in the studio getting my hands dirty with calligraphy ink. My mission: create a dreamy valentines story using three great quotes on […]
Chocolate & Cheese “Galentine’s Day” Party
How do you guys feel about PDA? I’m not personally one to put it all out there when it comes to my love life, but when I spot another obviously in-love couple who can’t keep their hands to themselves, it’s kind of sweet. Up to a point, of course. Valentine’s Day is the one exception […]

Sardine Tin Valentines
Today’s Valentine’s Day DIY project is a polarizing one. I imagine our readers are split into two camps: those who read the post title and instantly cringe, and those who think, “Aww, perfect for my foodie friends!” As you might guess, I’m part of the latter. When I think of canned sardines and anchovies, my mind is […]
