Houndstooth has been around for a long while but I have to say it looks pretty modern and fun when done in these bold & graphic ways. 1: Skirt from Jcrew // 2: Pillow from Alivehouse // 3: Cupcake Liners from Cupcake Social
Tagging on to last weeks kitchen update… I am on the search for a rug. Right now I have this floral rug from Urban Outfitters that I picked up long ago and while I do like the colors OK, I think the floral pattern is skewing the space more towards a country kitchen look then […]
I took this long weekend to spend some quality time with Rupe doing two of my favorite things… hiking and brunching. I am pretty sure a three day weekend was made for three days of brunch dates, right? Images taken with my iPhone via instagram. (I’m @sarahshermansamuel)
Happy birthday Smitten Studio! This last Saturday marked the year anniversary of the creation of Smitten Studio. To celebrate the occasion what else could I do but partake in a little chocolate cupcake love fest?

Last anniversary Rupert surprised me with tickets to Auckland! New Zealand has always been on the top of my list of places to go and I can not wait to head over there and explore. While he took care of the flights, we still have not booked all of our lodging or planned much of […]
It has been a while since I have done a cabin update. Things over there have had to slow down over the winter as it is just too cold to do a lot of things and too cold for me to want to visit as frequently! We were there over the holidays though, so although […]
We took full advantage of the sunshine this weekend. Although, it was cold for California, the skies were crystal clear and the sun was shining.

Happy New Year! Here is a look back at my December. Leading up the the holidays in LA is always a busy time, we decorated, wrapped presents, sent out holiday cards, and had our Christmas party. So, when it comes time to head to Michigan for Christmas we take full advantage of that time to […]
You may remember from my instagram when I first spotted the collection I designed for Greenroom of metallic patterned planners in Target. I received a few emails from people that were not able to find them in their local Target so I thought I would give a couple away here! To give you the quick […]
We spent the last weekend of the year wandering through Chicago, taking long walks until our toes went numb, visiting a few old favorite restaurants and trying out a some new ones. Every time I go to Chicago I fall in love all over again with the old brownstone houses and the architecture in the […]
