I love to claim the term “minimalist” despite all evidence to the contrary. I call my interior design style warm California minimalism, but that just means my furniture is mostly white and beige. The piles of books, excessive tchotchkes, and disco ball don’t exactly scream pared down. My closet is the same—a far cry from the idealized capsule wardrobe I have in my head. Still, none of this compares to my hoard of beauty products. As an editor who’s always on a plane to somewhere, it was high time I learned how to pack skincare efficiently. And today, I’m sharing my secrets with you. How to P ..read more

It’s safe to say that butter yellow is the color of the season. This creamy, near-neutral shade can be seen just about everywhere these days—from flowy sundresses, to cozy knits and delicate manis. And one thing I love about fashion trends is they almost always trickle into our interiors. Butter yellow home decor is currently making the rounds, especially as Grandmillenial style continues to be popular. This season is the perfect time to embrace this soft and creamy shade with enthusiasm. Ahead, read on for a deep dive into all things butter yellow, and how to incorporate this sunny hue i ..read more

For me, the return of warm weather equals the return of my favorite Chicago farmer’s market. Tents and booths lining the park filled with all the most beautiful produce of the season is my happy place after months of overcast weather. And there is no better way to celebrate the season’s bounty than in its simplest form. I’m not usually much of a salad girl, so when I bring you a salad recipe, you know it’s a good one. Think fresh spring vegetables, a tangy vinaigrette, and crispy halloumi. This halloumi salad is the ultimate celebration of the season and packed with flavor. Halloumi Salad In ..read more

It’s no secret: we’ve long been proponents of practicing a morning routine. (Heck, we dedicate an entire column to learning the morning secrets of the most successful women we know.) AM rituals allow us to center and ground before jumping into the inevitable busyness of the day. Carving out time for our high-value activities ensures we’re pouring into ourselves on the daily. Because it’s true what they say—empty cups have nothing left to give. But since the Covid years popularized aspirational, multi-step morning routines across social media, it’s easy to feel intimidated if you don’t know whe ..read more

If there’s one thing I’ve gained from adulthood, it’s a love for many of the foods I shied away from as a kid. Exhibit A: Avocados—one of the most mouthwatering foods that nature has bestowed on us. Thanks to their versatility and vibrant color, avocados have gone viral over the past few years—and I’m fully on board. The only problem? I want to include avocados in almost every single meal I make! Thankfully, the Camille Styles team is full of avocado obsessives—and have stopped at nothing to incorporate the fruit into as many dishes as we can dream up. So grab your ripest avocado from the frui ..read more

Summer is on the horizon, but I’m finally just getting into spring cleaning my life. Honestly, it’s equal parts overwhelming and refreshing. Coming off a busy holiday season straight into lots of events and work travel, I finally had a solid break in my schedule to assess what’s working and what’s not. In addition to my never-ending closet clean-out project and general organization, one thing I really needed to overhaul was my finances.  Does anyone else get to that point where you check your bank account or credit card statement and you’re like, wait one second, how did this happen? If n ..read more

Summer is (finally!) here, and I’ve spent the last couple of weeks transitioning my closet for the new season. What started as a cleanout and reorganization mission evolved into a thoughtful evaluation of everything I own—and what holes needed to be filled. With limited storage space, it became clear that every piece I purchased needed to be multi-wear, functional, and a true ten-out-of-ten. Working in fashion, it can also be tempting to overconsume, so I’ve realigned my priorities to build a summer capsule wardrobe that puts quality over quantity.  After a huge purge, the coats and boots ..read more

It’s a big week at Casa Zuma—and for me, as a founder. After spending over a year developing our first candle, “Daybreak,” it’s finally here. It’s funny for me to think back—since way before dreaming up the brand Casa Zuma, I always wanted to make a candle. I’ve been candle-obsessed for as long as I can remember, and I always thought it would be the ultimate creative project to make exactly the fragrance that I want my entire home to smell like. (That is, California citrus, blooming jasmine, and salty air.) I wanted a candle that’s intense enough to pack a punch, look gorgeous sitting on my co ..read more
