While we don’t entirely condone the traditional route of tins lined with truffles or a dozen red roses, there’s something to be said for homemade love. No matter the love language you speak, a valentine straight from your heart and hands always seems to make the sweetest statement. So this year, give your one-and-only the gift of your […]
With Super Bowl Sunday just around the corner, there’s no better reason to gather the guys and the girls for the big game and gourmet eats. I personally enjoy the sport all season, but have found that this celebratory Sunday brings out the competitive spirit in football fans and foodies alike. Playing hostess this year? Be MVP by setting a snack […]
Gray skies, harsh winds, slushy streets…no offense, winter, but you ain’t the prettiest season there is. Once we get to January, I start to feel like I’ve lost my luster entirely. (Hey, a girl can only endure so many nights that start at 4:30 pm before she starts to forget what a summer breeze feels […]
The new year is a perfect time for fresh starts — and, since my self-pampering routine took a major hit amidst the craziness of December, I’m starting off the year with some beauty resolutions to go alongside my financial/spiritual/self-betterment goals. Besides for the obvious intentions of keeping my eyebrows plucked, my nails chip-free (bare nails […]
It’s one of the “joys” of pregnancy: crazy hormones send your skin into a tailspin of dryness, acne, or redness, but there’s such a dearth of research out there about what treatments are safe to use during pregnancy that launching any kind of new product regimen can be scary. Now that I’m on my second go round, […]

‘Tis the season: for socializing, merrymaking, and, of course, finding the perfect gift for every person on that very long list of yours. I’ll admit that I’m not necessarily the best or most original gifter in the world — I mean, what does one get one’s beloved father-in-law who neither wants nor needs anything? — […]
These past couple of weeks have included a whole lot of coat chatter here at the Camille Styles office. Chanel got her hands on the perfect denim jacket (steal!), Camille scored herself an Emmerson Fry wardrobe staple, Kelly and I swooned over a few J. Crew gems (for petites), and Jenn is still scavenging the Internet […]
It’s the eternal Thanksgiving debate at our house: try out a “new twist” on the traditional desserts (me), or stick with the classics (pretty much everyone else). The men in our family look forward to my mom’s perfect pecan tart all year long, and my sister and Phoebe are major pumpkin pie girls. Though I […]
With Thanksgiving less than one week away, it’s just about time to wrap up (or start!) planning for the big day. Although the scrumptious turkey, sides and pies often get the most attention throughout the evening, we want the decor to steal the show this year. From adorable ideas for place cards to votive candles made from apples, we’ve got […]
I’ll be completely honest with you: a die-hard chemical-eschewing natural-beauty maven I am not. After all, until recently, I was a full-time beauty editor, and trying out products (both natural and not) was in my job description. It simply wasn’t an option to decide to only sample chemical-free, paraben-free items. Plus, as a total beauty […]
The window of time during which you can choose how to dress your kid is a finite one. It’s not long before making matchy-matchy outfits that you find utterly adorable is replaced with doling out allowance for them to buy and wear what they want… and Halloween’s no different. Last year we dressed Phoebe up as a pineapple because […]
