July in Austin is all about seeking refuge. Cold movie theaters, restaurants after dark and the always spontaneous night swim are means of survival when it comes to triple digit weather. I love this time of year for it’s slower pace and nostalgic little moments of watching bored high school kids hanging out at snow […]
There’s something about being near a body of water that immediately makes me feel about 100x more serene. Regardless of what scheduling snafus or work deadlines or toddler meltdowns are happening in the rest of my life, the ocean (or lake, or heck, even pool!) magically wash it all away, leaving the calmest, most present […]
photo: By Tezza The fact that it feels like the weekend was just here is a testament to how much these summer weeks are flying by, and (being the summer girl that I am) my greatest goal for this weekend is to be totally present and soak up every little moment. Plans: read a book […]
Keep it cool, y’all.

I don’t have the patience to test five different versions of a potential recipe and experiment with how leavening agents affect a baked good. It’s not entirely my fault, I didn’t grow up in a household where baked […]

Be sure you’re following along for lots of updates and exclusive behind-the-scenes fun with […]
The countdown to summer has officially begun, which only means one thing: backyard barbecue and patio party season. We had so much fun teaming up with Target to show y’all how we transformed the patio at Camille Styles HQ into the ultimate party spot. To celebrate the feeling of sweet summer freedom that overcomes us […]

To break it in, we invited our crew to join us for a Sunday Funday full of laid-back eats and sips with a Moroccan twist inspired by our patio decor; add great music and […]
