It may be Monday morning but in my head I am still floating the day away in Ojai. We had a wonderfully relaxing babymoon at the Ojai Valley Inn this weekend. I’ll have more on the trip soon! Hope you all have a great week. x Image by me via iPhone & instagram (I’m @sarahshermansamuel)
Rupe is treating me to a long weekend at the Ojai Valley Inn for our mini babymoon and I am looking forward to some spa time and a massage more that you can know. Such a treat! Here’s what I am taking with me. Cable Knit Sweater by TopShop // Pleated Midi Dress from Asos (perfect for […]
I wore this dress for Thanksgiving dinner, a daring move since food tends to miss my mouth lately and land smack dab on the belly, but it made it through the entire day unscathed. It also made for a very comfortable stint on the sofa while recovering from the turkey coma, turns out sweater dresses […]
I hope you all had a really great extra long Thanksgiving weekend. We spent turkey day with just a few friends this year, Amanda of 100 layer cake obviously knows how to put together a table (and cook a turkey for that matter. :)). It was a day filled with thanks, football, yummy eats, and lingering at […]
A few weeks back Rupe and I headed up the coast to meet up with some friends in the darling little beach town of Cayucos. It is situated just north of Morro Bay, not far from San Luis Obispo and about halfway between LA and San Francisco (which is where our friends were coming down […]
This weekend we finally moved most of our clothes into the new closet in our bedroom and out of what will soon be the nursery, starting to make room for baby. We also had a couple nice meals out, watched some walking dead (I don’t know how we got into it but am totally hooked and […]
It is probably no surprise that one of my favorite parts of the holidays is setting up a pretty table to gather around. It doesn’t have to be over the top or heavily themed, but I like to pull out the gold flatware and add a few unique pieces to make the table a little […]
My parents are visiting from Michigan this week so we took them up to a darling little tiny town Los Alamos. It is about two and half hours north of LA which makes for a great weekend getaway and you know I like me some weekend trips. We stayed in The Alamo Motel which is the […]
For the first time, Rupert and I are sticking around LA for the holidays. While I will be missing me some Michigan, I’m pretty excited about starting some new traditions with our growing family and celebrating with our friends out here. While my expecting party of 1.5 won’t be partaking in the cocktails this year, […]
I am so excited to share that I’ve partnered with Apartment34 for their new holiday shop! Apartment34 is a lifestyle blog and inspiration haven based in San Francisco. They’ve teamed up with 10 of their favorite artisans to create limited edition pieces for a fine curation of giftable goods and I couldn’t be happier to be […]
On Friday we drove up the coast to Cayucos to meet some friends and share a little beach rental for the weekend. They live in San Francisco so Cayucos worked out perfectly for us to meet halfway between our two home cities. I’ll share a bit more of the trip once I gather up the […]
I haven’t quite settled on a direction for our nursery yet, but I have made a “baby” pin board from which I’ve started gathering inspiration on all things design for the little one. In the process I have looked at probably hundreds of nursery tours and while I am trying to figure out which way […]
We just had a few lovely days that started to feel like fall here in LA and I took the opportunity to break out one of my favorite autumnal staples, the long trench coat. I love the versatility of a trench and how it can turn these ripped jeans and tank into a polished look. The […]
This weekend we stuck around the house, handed out halloween candy on friday, went out to brunch and caught a matinee (that movie is cray) on Saturday and then spent Sunday dyeing our hearts out! This is my first time ever dyeing and let me just say it is SO addicting and SO MUCH FUN. Once […]
Happy Halloween week! In honor of the holiday I pulled together a couple of my favorite bat-centric items. How adorable is that outfit? Hanging Bats from Target // Bat Crop Top & Skirt from Asos // Bat Mug For more of the “pattern spy” column, check here.
We had a busy weekend of errands and closet planning (our new master bedroom closet is still an empty box). Our clothes are currently in a huge pile on the bed in the guest bedroom, which is supposed to become nursery, so after a trip to Home Depot and a marathon Ikea mission (aren’t they […]
