Already excellent answers here. Here's one using a convenience function from the reports package:

strings <- c("first phrase", "another phrase to convert",
    "and here's another one", "last-one")

CA(strings)

## > CA(strings)
## [1] "First Phrase"              "Another Phrase To Convert"
## [3] "And Here's Another One"    "Last-one"       

Though it doesn't capitalize one as it didn't make sense to do so for my purposes.

Update I manage the qdapRegex package that has the TC (title case) function that does true title case:

TC(strings)

## [[1]]
## [1] "First Phrase"
## 
## [[2]]
## [1] "Another Phrase to Convert"
## 
## [[3]]
## [1] "And Here's Another One"
## 
## [[4]]
## [1] "Last-One"
