I haven’t done one of these in a bit, I’ve actually been laying low on the shopping. But I just added the above to my wish list for spring and summer! Yes, I’m thinking ahead. But you have to know, it’s been in the mid 80’s here in the desert so summer is only a blink away for us! And that romper- you guys it’s $80! Which, considering it’s a whole outfit, is a major steal in my opinion! And I’ve rounded up some extras below . Happy shoppping everyone! xx- Sarah
I’m not sure if it’s the weather or my slightly overwhelming work schedule but lately I just want to be comfortable and casual at all times. For me this usually means a great pair of skinny jeans, a collared blouse and some boots. As such I owe Gap a huge thank you for making these soft, perfectly stretchy and already worn in jeans. They are the kind of denim you live in. Happy Wednesday everyone, just two more sleeps until the weekend! xx- Sarah
I really, really, REALLY love a fantastically tailored suit on a lady. Or really any menswear inspired look. I can’t get enough! I think Dianne Keaton does it better than anyone, but I love Gabriella Wilde in the slim fitting suit above almost as much. So timeless, I doubt it could ever really go out of style. Some menswear inspired items for your own closet below! xx- Sarah Image via
Happy Monday everyone! I’m short on words today, sad about the loss of such a major talent, happy to see the sun shining and feeling blessed to have another day here with my loved ones. All of this has nothing to do with stripes and chambray, but it is what it is. xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
These ladies are all explemplifying everything that is so badass about neutrals, right? Color me smitten, I can’t get enough! I’ve rounded up some of what I consider to be netural essentials below. I am seriously considering building my entire closet this year around neutrals and throwing in little pops of color via accessories. Hope you love! And before I go, I want to thank you all for the amazing comments on Friday’s post and for sharing your own stories with me. As always, I’m humbled that such an amazing group of women are reading A House in the Hills! Thank you. xx- Sarah
Today I want to talk about body image, media, and the culture of ideals that we live in. It’s something that weighs heavy on my mind always, but that I’ve been struggling with more lately. I’m seeing an acupuncturist and an Ayurvedic doctor to treat some health issues I’m contending with (more on that another day, but please don’t worry all will be well!) and they’ve advised me to eat exclusively cooked foods, to eat an abundance of protein via nuts and seeds, and to generally just incorporate more fat into my diet to gain strength. So I have. And my body is doing things, it’s changing. With these changes have come an extra 5 or so pounds that I’m carrying around to prove it. I’ve been dreading shooting style posts because I can be very cruel to myself when I’ve gained weight. I’m human, we gain and lose weight. It happens, right? And when I see it happen to those around me I recognize it for what it is- life. And harmless. But with myself, I beat myself up. I say things to myself that I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS say to someone I love. {more on this after the jump}
