It was 80 degrees in Austin last weekend, and I threw on a bikini and jumped in the pool. Nevermind that it’s the middle of February; that one hot day was all it took to send me into total countdown-to-summer mode. Over the past few days, I’ve ordered a new swimsuit, sipped a margarita, and […]
Morning, friends! This weekend has so far been my absolute favorite kind: tons of sunshine, brunch with my sister, reading new books, making dinner on the grill, and yes — we actually spent a few hours in the pool yesterday (in February!) Crazy, I know. Work has felt incredibly busy lately between a really full shooting […]
photo via camille styles Even for those of us who love our jobs, the Sunday night blues are for REAL. I’ve noticed that especially when I’ve had a fun and carefree weekend, the transition back into the structure of the work week can be a tough pill to swallow. In an effort to take back my Sunday […]
I’m sure many of y’all have heard of the cheekily-named “Engagement Roast Chicken” that’s reported to be so good, any man will fall in love on the spot. All due respect to Ina, but I’ve got my own chicken recipe that’s equally simple to make and, thanks to it’s crispy exterior and gorgeous presentation, even more effective at convincing […]
Good morning, friends! What are y’all up to this weekend? I got home from LA on Thursday night, so it’s been *heaven* to mostly stay home, hang with the fam, and soak up this unseasonably sunny weather we’re experiencing in Austin. So far, the weekend has consisted of a date night with some great friends, […]

I’ll never forget my first crêpe: it was sophomore year, and my high school French teacher, Ms. Baysinger, brought a burner to class and taught us how to make the the classic version that we stuffed full of nutella and whipped cream. I remember feeling so sophisticated as I swirled the batter in the pan, yielding […]
Biscotti are one of those special weekend treats that I don’t eat nearly as often as I’d like. There’s something about a morning “biscuit” with a coffee or a latte that feels so much more luxurious than a bowl of oatmeal. These biscotti are perfectly nutty with just the right amount of crunch. Not to mention, […]
This year, Valentine’s Day is on a Tuesday. Talk about inconvenient! After spending all day at work, the last thing we want to do is get all gussied up and go out to dinner with our beaus at an overcrowded restaurant. So this year, we’re staying in. A home cooked meal, a refreshing bottle of champagne, […]
photo from local milk By the time you read this, I’ll be capping off a long weekend in NOLA celebrating a dear friend’s birthday with beignets, jazz, and sazeracs. I haven’t been to the Big Easy since I was a kid, so I’m really looking forward to a couple days of poking around the neighborhoods and […]
For many, the words “Valentine’s Day” bring to mind visions of cheesy cards, stuffed animals and boxed chocolates. Bleh. Around the Camille Styles office, we’re in favor of ditching the clichés… but the chocolate can stay. The chocolate can always stay. This Valentine’s Day, we’re taking it to the next level with decadent homemade recipes that are sure to […]
After weeks of cookies, cocktails and indulging without abandon, I decided that January 2017 needed to be a month without refined sugars. A brave move for a baker (read: sugar addict), I know, but when moderation no longer holds meaning, work has to be done. I’ve spent the last four weeks rediscovering my love for […]
