When our team member Landrie relocated from New York to Austin last year, I couldn’t believe the coincidence when she moved into the same sixplex as our close friend and collaborator, photographer Kate LeSueur. Later, she casually mentioned that Natalie Marchbanks lives across the hall, and that Caitlin Ryan and Jessica Thompson are in a house a few […]
Adding to my ever-growing collection of straw hats is one of my favorite things to do in early spring, when all the fashion lines start revealing their new designs for summer. (Someday I want to have an entry hall covered in hats, but for now I’m storing them in the back of my closet.) This year’s […]
Hairstylist Diamond Mueller and musician Jonathan Terrell have the kind of dynamic that hit country songs are made of. He’s the free-wheeling wildcard to her cool, no-nonsense personality. “She’s friggin’ tough,” says Jonathan of his wife, who he began dating almost a decade ago. He adores her strength and stunning looks, and she loves his talent, ambition and […]
If you follow Camille or myself on social media, it may not be news to you that our team has been working hard renovating what will soon become the new Camille Styles HQ. It was love at first site — a 100 year old bungalow located in Downtown Austin, just begging for some TLC. Our imaginations […]
All signs point to it being time to move on. You’re faking sick, doing the bare minimum work, and dreading Mondays. But your job also pays good money, and you’re living an OK life on that salary. So you put off launching your job search week after week, trying to ignore the frustration you feel at […]
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, […]
The most blissful part of the holidays is having time to truly relax, amiright? The week between Christmas and New Year’s is one of the only times of the year when I don’t feel guilty for spending an entire day lounging by the fire, hanging out with family and getting up only to pour another cup of […]
When we first thought of the “It Couple” series, we wanted it to be a place to share great love stories from inspiring couples. I imagined myself getting to hear the up-close-and-personal romances of interesting people, doing truly interesting things together as couples. I’m not sure there has ever been an installment of the series that has brought that […]
Okay, so maybe a scented candle isn’t the most original gift, but c’mon: have you ever met a person who didn’t love receiving one? Especially when said candle has the coolest packaging, is made of clean-burning soy wax, and lasts for 60 (or more) hours. We polled our beauty council members to find out which scented […]
Editor’s note: Last year, Amy Vance of Eco Modern Concierge joined us to share her holiday gift-giving organizational tips. Believe it or not, her wisdom inspired me to actually get my act together a bit more this season, and as a result, I’m feeling — dare I say it — quite relaxed! She joins us again this year […]
We’ve all been there: ballin’ on a budget, but with Pinterest boards filled with photos from Architectural Digest and Elle Decor. So what’s a girl to do? While most of us can’t stock up on all the designer furniture our hearts desire, there are countless creative ways to rework your home into a place you love. […]
You know you’re doing something right when people want to use your paper gift-wrapping creation as a real life handbag. And who am I to tell them they can’t? While I certainly agree that these envelope-inspired designs are pretty enough to pair with a cocktail dress and sparkly heels, I can’t guarantee they’d hold up to more than two […]
