ORANGE Reviews: Camille Styles “Entertaining Inspired Gatherings And Effortless Style”

November 24, 2014

Camille Styles’s coffee-table book, "Entertaining Inspired Gatherings and Effortless Style" encompasses everything it promises and more. An Austin native, Styles brings fashion, food and fun to life in 307 colorful pages filled with vibrant pictures. This coffee table book is split into four parts according to seasons. Each section dives into the sights, sounds and smells of that particular time of year. Styles talks about various social gatherings that ring true to each season, like a fiesta-themed soirée during the hot summer months. She includes scrumptious recipes to go along with it (I’m looking forward to trying out “the best chocolate cookies ever”).
