The art of the aperitivo. I first discovered it on my honeymoon in Capri a few years ago, when Adam and I would start each evening with a glass of wine on the scene-y terrace of our hotel to people watch and relax. We soon learned that the Italians take this ritual very seriously: not only does […]
I can’t help but feel the pressure when it comes to Mother’s Day. I find myself trying to plan the ideal day for Mom, and hoping to perfect every last detail — the food has to be good, the gifts just right, and the heartfelt message in the greeting card? If that doesn’t draw a tear or two, I’ve failed […]
I don’t want to start any fights here, but in my opinion the much-beloved fall season has nothing on spring. Those first few soft breezes on your skin, the dappled light flowing through the fresh blooms on the trees, the scent of aforementioned blooms in the air—it’s simply magic. (Plus, it means that summer AND […]

We’ve had some incredible interns pass through the doors of team Camille Styles through the years, and saying goodbye at the end of their school year is always bittersweet. Although we’re sad to see them go, it’s exciting to think about the bright future that lies ahead of these talented ladies. In that spirit, we threw […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
The weather in Austin couldn’t be better today. Mid-60’s and not a cloud in the sky, it’s truly the definition of a perfect Spring day. So would you believe me if I’d told you I wished it was raining? I don’t know when it happened, but over the last few years I’ve fallen increasingly more in love with […]
