Big_sur_A_HOUSE_IN_THE_HILLS-886

Hey friends, happy Monday!!!  We spent the better part of last week in Big Sur, which is now at the top of my favorites list.  It’s insane pretty.  Like: make-you-believe-in-a- higher-power beautiful.  I can’t wait to share the photos with you soon!  In the meantime, today’s style post featuring camping-wear, which will quickly turn into weekend wear after this silly heat wave dies down!  I love cozy comfortable outfits like this one, perfect for lounging around and eating my body weight in s’mores!!! More soon! xx- Sarah   (Shop this outfit: pants, shirt, sneakers)

Central Coast Wanderings in Reformation

Have you been to San Simeon?  Just up the coast a bit from Pismo Beach, it’s incredible.  The coastline reminds me of Northern California- beautiful cliffs that run right up against the coastline.  So many enormous trees, kelp swirling in the water, rocks jutting out of the sea, seals and whales popping up for air- it’s just glorious.  There is so much magic in California, I swear it’s a version of heaven.

Also, this dress from Reformation.  I snagged it a couple of months ago and I’ve worn it so much that I’m considering grabbing it in another color.   And lastly, matte black nails- thanks to this genius.  They’re how I’m embracing Fall even if Fall isn’t embracing California.  xx- Sarah {Shop this outfit: dress, shoes (DVF Spring 2015), hat, bracelets: here and here}

Stripes and Plaid

madewell_overalls-15

We’re currently enjoying Pismo Beach and San Luis Obispo, which are both AMAZING!!!  The coastline up here, which is new to me, is seriously breathtaking.  If I wasn’t in a committed relationship with San Diego I would totally consider calling this area home!  I’ll share more from our trip soon, but in the meantime- a style post.  These are the kind of outfits I’m loving for traveling- and these overalls are my jam.  It’s a little campy (no pun intended) to be wearing them while camping, but I can’t help myself.  I’m a sucker for high waisted anything.  And plaid.  And stripes.  I’m basicallly just a sucker.  Ha!  More soon…. xx- Sarah

J.Crew Denims

A-house_in_the_hills_Style8-261-779

I think I mentioned it earlier this year but J.Crew is killing it with their denim collections this year!  Case in point: these high waisted skinnies.  They fit like a dream and I’m pretty sure would be flattering on most anyone.  Well played J.Crew, well played.  I think I wore them no less than 3 times the first week they arrived.  That’s always a good sign, when I’m binge-wearing.  I do have to warn you though, they’re the kind of denim that attracts lint/fur.  So having a lint roller on hand when getting dressed is key.  Oh, denim problems.  haha!  Have a  great Thursday my friends!!!  xx- Sarah

Neutrals + Layers

neutrals__a_house_in_the_hills_san_diego-779

Fall isn’t upon on us quite yet, but I’ve been missing layers so much lately that the first cool evening was pretty much all I needed to layer up!  And, as is so often the case, neutrals were my go-to for the occasion.  I’ll never get enough black, white, and grey.  Sometimes I even fantasize about creating a capsule wardrobe of all neutrals that I can mix and match.  But who am I kidding? I love a bold, colorful graphic print too much for that.  But for now, neutrals.  xx- Sarah
