I bucked my fairly neutral usual packing strategy and filled my bag with a palette inspired by the high desert landscape of our destination… Utah! You may remember one of my favorite trips from a couple years back when we did THIS ROADTRIP but this time we are headed straight to Utah and staying there. Here’s […]
We are planning a trip up to northern California next month to spend some time in Sonoma and then visit friends in Booneville and I am really looking forward to taking a step back and enjoying some time outdoors. I plan on never taking that “i’m busy” hat off so Rupert and Archie will get the […]
Speaking of travelling, I am packing my bags for Mexico this week! We are heading south of the border to a friends wedding and here is what is coming with me. Hat // Kitten Heels from J.Crew // Pink Raybans // Navy Clutch by Clare V. // Bardot Top from TopShop // A-line Pink Skirt […]
It’s probably no surprise that Palm Springs is our favorite destination for a quick weekend getaway and we are heading there soon for our first mini vaca as a new family of 3! EEK. My bag is packed and here is hoping little A likes the desert as much as we do. Leather Luggage Bag // Aya Mini […]
Any day now it will be time to have a baby and our bags are officially packed. I am not sure which items I will actually end up using and which I won’t, but I’d rather err on being over prepared than under. I pulled from baby apps, what my doula told me to bring, […]
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 […]
Rupe and I have a wedding to go to in Malibu this weekend, and while it is not too far of a drive for us, I thought we should make a fun little mini-vaca out of it. I am becoming increasingly aware that these romantic weekend trips will probably be put on hold for a […]
This post brought to you by Athleta, the premier fitness fashion brand for women. Last week I shared about our recent road trip and while it’s still on the brain, I’m giving you a peek at what came with me. I basically lived in my swimsuit for the majority of the trip, so bikini, hat, […]
Every weekend we can, we pack up the car and head to one of the beautiful beaches up or down the coast. While we only live within spitting distance from Venice Beach, I love the rocky (and less crazy town) beaches in Palos Verdes and Malibu. Here’s what I pack for a picture perfect day […]
I’m packing my bag for Michigan again, yee haw! I’m excited to get back to the cabin, the beach, and also to get to work on that Michigan guide idea. So glad you guys are on board! Here’s a few items perfect for any beach getaway. x sarah Shopping Guide: Taylor Headphones by Frends // The […]
I know we just got back from the cabin but I am already itching to return. In preparation for the next trip I thought I’d do just a little online shopping to get my summer in Michigan wardrobe up to snuff. My suitcase should be packed in 6-10 days ;). Crochet Tank from TopShop // Indigo […]
My parents are visiting this week and after putting them to work on the house for a few days we decided to take off on an impromptu trip to Catalina Island. It’s just a short 1 hour boat ride away and none of us has ever been! Here’s what came with me… Bomber Jacket by […]
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 […]
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 […]
Inspired by my weekend jaunt all over L.A., I am planning a little stay/workcation at a hotel on the other side of town, so that we can escape the construction for a couple of days. Waking up to wood saws, hammering, and the smell of welding copper pipes maddeningly a touch too early for me […]
Like I mentioned before, I am really looking forward to heading to my parents house in Michigan for some downtime. I’ll be packing my coziest sweaters and comfiest pajamas (which I will most likely be wearing for a large portion of the days while we happily hibernate through the holiday). My to do list has a […]
