Caramelized

Today’s Entertaining With feature has us flush with emotion. As a Camille Styles intern, Cara Greenstein rocked our worlds with her love of everything food, and her knack for whipping up culinary creations in a flash. Fast forward just a few short years, and our little grasshopper has moved back to her hometown of Memphis, where […]

Charred Scallions with Burrata and Picada

This family of Texans can’t stop marveling over the riches of the Northeast summer: maple creemees, swimming holes, meadow hikes, and rambling Sunday drives. From our little cabin in Vermont, we can go all kinds of places on a whim: Maine, New York, even Canada are all just a few hours away. Exploring Montreal was […]

Miami Beach

After weeks of agonizing over where to travel over the long Labor Day weekend (woe is me!), we finally came to a decision: Miami Beach, baby. Seriously, what’s not to love about this place? With endless beaches, fresh seafood at every corner, and art and shopping galore, just a few visits have landed this city at […]

How to Host a Weeknight Party

Weeknights are one of my favorite times to get together with friends. Not only is it an unexpected time to have a party, but the anticipation of a social event makes a middle-of-the-week workday so much more fun! I know, I know: the thought of cooking, hosting, and cleaning up sounds like a lot to tackle after […]

A Guilt Free Girls’ Night

If there’s anything we love more than a girls’ night out, it’s a chill laid-back night in with our best friends. And our all-time favorite place to get together? Camille’s backyard pool, of course! When the weather’s blazing hot in Austin there’s really nothing better than getting together for and evening swim, snacks, and some […]

An Epic 40th Birthday Weekend

If there’s anyone we’d expect to throw a killer party, it’s an amazing team of professional event planners. That’s just what the ladies of Georgeous did to celebrate the boss’s 40th at a family farm in the Australian countryside. Georgie Kay is the creative director of the Melbourne-based events and styling company, and her friends vouch […]

Golden Eye Iced Coffee

There are few things in life I love more than a breakfast date, and (as you’ve probably noticed from my Instagram feed) there’s one spot in town that dominates my pre-noon rendezvous. Josephine House is a charming bungalow in Austin’s equally charming Clarksville neighborhood, and its whitewashed wood, marble countertops, breezy patio, and perfect pastries make […]

Richard and Jordan

Caviar and vodka — leave it to the French to conceive of the most perfect simple pairing, and leave it to Chef Jordan Muraglia and artist Richard Bropae to make it look this amazing for a party! Since meeting in 2006, the real-life couple have become the perfect collaborators, and with their shared affinity for adventure, they’ve lived in and traveled to […]

Sand and Sea

If you happened to check out our post from last Friday, you saw our fun analysis of what our pinterest boards really say about us. Tons of beach and travel-inspired images mean you’re fun-loving, adventurous, easily bored, curious, a dreamer, and a child-at-heart. I definitely fall squarely into that category and I’ve got the pinterest […]

Noir et Blanc

I’ve been feeling a bit short on inspiration lately. It’s nothing to be alarmed about — this kind of thing happens when you’re constantly inundated with the latest in fashion, interiors, entertaining and food — but I’ve noticed that when this kind of burnout sets in, I find myself going back to basics. And who knows […]

Banana Split Shortcake

One of my favorite memories from growing up was when my mom would surprise us on a random weeknight with the announcement: “Banana splits for dinner!” She’d set out bowls with bananas and vanilla ice cream, then all the accompaniments: homemade hot fudge, whipped cream, fresh berries, toasted pecans, strawberry sauce, and of course, cherries […]

Mer Mag

I don’t think of myself as a jealous person, but that little kid inside me is green with envy over this wonderful, whimsical children’s party. Hosted by the ever-talented Merrilee Liddiard — blogger behind Mer Mag and author of Playful — the grown-up dessert spread at this soiree makes for the most lavish kids buffet ever. Combine that […]
