If you follow me on Instagram, it is no secret that The Butcher’s Daughter is one of my favorite local restaurants. The decor is so in line with my own aesthetic, whenever I go there I feel right at home. There are special details all around like the shibori booth and gold/quartz table, a macrame […]
One of our resolutions this year is to have more date-nights. We have been epically failing (only going on about 4 total in the almost 2 years of Archer’s life) and it has taken its toll from time to time. Before Archie we were positive we would be one of the couples to take regular nights […]
Happy Monday! This weekend I literally stopped to smell the roses. SO MANY ROSES. It was one of my favorite events of the year, the Veuve Cliquot Polo Classic, where our usual sunday hiking spot (Will Rogers State Park) is transformed into the dreamiest event, dripping with flowers, champagne, and the best people watching you could […]
A couple weeks back I partnered with Dove in a “trend crawl” which took me around to a few of my favorite LA spots with a handful of fashion and beauty experts. Our first stop was at the Avalon Hotel where we had lunch at the restaurant Viviane and chatted about spring trends. As with […]
Thanks for all of the love on the new site! Things should be running a lot more smoothly now. We ended up having to move the site to another host all together because my old one (rhymes with slowdaddy) just could not handle all of the fabulousness ;). Anywhoo, there are a few things I need to […]
This weekend my eldest sister was visiting from Florida, so we played tourist in our own town and Bugaboo invited me to share my top spots in a mini family friendly city guide, so here we go… To Eat: my favorite pick has been Gjusta, it’s a bakery/deli/cafe by the same folks as Gjelina, so the food is […]
An inspiring brunch at The Line Hotel with Vsco, beach walks and a picnic with the fam, this weekend shaped up pretty darn well. Hope you had a pleasant one. x Images by me w/iPhone via Instagram (I’m @sarahshermansamuel)
This weekend was full of big milestones for me on the motherhood journey. My sister came to visit with her husband and two young kids from Wyoming and they were not about to stick around the house all day, so I quickly had to learn how to breastfeed on the fly and in public (gasp! […]
This weekend we took our little down to Playa Del Rey and on our favorite walk along the channel and around the lagoon. We are starting to realize just how exciting it is to share our world with this new life. Everything we do now is “Archer’s first trip to the beach“, “Archer’s first shopping excursion“, […]
Our hospital bag is packed, car seat is in the car, and we’ve made most of the necessary preparations for baby samuel’s arrival… and now we wait. At 38+ weeks I could still be waiting for a few weeks and maybe that will give me some time to finish the nursery, (will be sharing the […]
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 […]
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 […]
This weekend Rupe and I did a lot of furniture store browsing, trying to get inspired to start planning the nursery design. We hit a lot of our favorite West Hollywood shops… Lawson Fenning, Organic Modernism, Nickey Kehoe, and Emperic. While these are definitely not baby stores, I like to pull inspiration and get ideas from […]
Happy Monday, I hope your week is off to a good start. I’m slowly coming around from a relaxing weekend filled with beach time, a sunday hike, the supermoon, and the kick off to shark week! Rupe says it is mandatory viewing and I was hooked at Colossus. Image by me via iphone/instagram (I’m @sarahshermansamuel)
Happy Memorial Day! We are on our way to Michigan today and CAN’T WAIT for a week at the cabin. Before we left, we finished up our patio project (a full post to come!) and did a little shopping around Venice. I could live in General Store. Hope you are having a nice long weekend. […]
We had friends visiting this weekend so we took a time-out to hang and enjoy another side of the city. We stayed a night at the Ace downtown, chatted over snacks and drinks on the rooftop while taking in the view (right photo), had a seriously good dinner at Bar Ama, and then struck out […]
