from the weekend: rupe’s 40th!

This weekend we celebrated Rupe’s BIG birthday in Miami Beach with a bunch of old friends, in the town where our love story started. His friends flew in from LA, London, Chicago, New York, Nicaragua (!), the Bahamas, and a few from just down the street in Miami Beach. You know the saying to know […]

my style: full skirt & crop top

THIS skirt. The color, the pattern and the twirlability… it had my name all over it. The ladylike length pairs well with a crop top even if my neon white tummy hasn’t seen the sunshine in months (note to self: hit the beach). Also, who doesn’t want a gold wing on their clutch? Surely, no […]

studio update: settling in

With my DIY shelves up, I turned back to the other side of the room to get my computer station up to snuff. Now my happy place is my happier place with the addition of some plants and some wall space dedicated to working projects. I missed my chalkboard wall desperately from my last studio. […]

from the weekend: oscars and oh joy brunch

This weekend I celebrated the upcoming launch of Oh Joy’s collaboration with Target at a brunch with creative friends and inspiring women, like Joy herself.

in my bag: miami beach

Speaking of escaping the construction dust… Rupe and I are heading to Miami! Once upon a time, more then a few years ago, we both lived there (me for just two years, Rupe for more like 12). It is where Rupe got his first internship in the States after leaving university in England and it […]

from the weekend: brunch dates & girls nights

This weekend I celebrated a friend’s birthday with a girls night in (bunny ears included), lingered over coffee with Rupe at brunch, and avoided our construction dust covered, half finished house at all costs. 🙂 Happy Monday! Images by me via instagram (I’m @sarahshermansamuel)

studio update & DIY shelves

I am embarrassingly still not quite settled in the new studio (although it is doing better then the house right now), but these shelves I put up are helping A TON. I needed some organization in my life more than I can express (If you are remembering the corners of the house that I kind […]

pattern spy: boobs!

Boobs, jugs, knockers… with so many names (262 according to this guy), it’s only right to have a few fun patterns to further celebrate our lady lumps (and these playful ones are pretty awesome). Keep an eye out for more in Rachel Antonoff’s Spring 2014 collection too! What do you think, would you rock a […]

A weekend in Palm Springs packed full of home tours, exhibitions, and cocktail parties all centered around midcentury architecture and design… YES, PLEASE! Modernism week is happening right now and this weekend Rupe and I headed back to the desert […]

I’m dreaming of a finished bedroom

The day our new bedroom will have finished walls and flooring is coming, but in the meantime I am looking at these lust worthy spaces to ease my nesting itch. How about those plants? Definitely a must. From the home of Cassandra Karinsky via The Design Files. And I am kind of obsessed with that mirror […]

from the weekend: joshua tree

After a week of my parents camping out in our living room on a fold out sofa, we figured we better treat them to a nice weekend away. The four of us packed up the car and headed for Joshua Tree, this time with our pups in tow. We went back to 29 Palms Inn where […]

in my bag: joshua tree

My parents are visiting to escape the below freezing temps in Michigan and we’re going to take them to Joshua Tree for a little outdoor time. They haven’t been since our family trips years ago, when I was a real peach in the car with my two sisters (bless their hearts), so I am looking forward to hiking […]
