A Little of This, a Little of That

joie_blouse_chloe_booties_A_House_in_the_Hills-59

How pretty are the details of this Joie blouse?!  And the color, I just can’t get enough of blushes and nudes, as you well know.  (FYI Joie is having their friends and family sale, 25% off -details here)  I love pairing silky, feminine tops with boots that have a little sass.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my girly-to-the-max moments too, but lately I’ve just been feeling a bit more… well, I guess just mix and match-y.  It’s Friday my pals, I’m wishing you all an amazing weekend filled with goodness!  xx- Sarah

A Bohemian Inspired Moment

Free_people_Dress_A_House_in_the_Hills-70

I bought this dress (on sale!) to wear to my future God-son’s baptism in Mexico.  I really wanted to buy  this dress, and this dress but then I remembered who I am- ME, and whose bank account I do not have- OPRAH’S.  So, here it is!  The dress I chose instead.  I’ll dress it up for the baptism with heels and more sophisticated accessories, but in the meantime I’m wearing it like crazy with over the knee boots and sometimes with these booties (also sold here).  I’m mildly obsessed with it, and at that sale price it’s just such a steal.  Okee, that’s all for now!   Have a great day my friends!  xx- Sarah

Spring Wish List

classic_staples_a_house_in_the_hills_2015

Happy Monday my friends!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  I rounded up some pieces that are currently sitting atop my wishlist, taunting me to ADD TO CART!  It makes me feel better about not being able to, to see them here like this.  I also think maybe it’ll help me manifest them into my closet!?  And in the spirit of that, I have a whole wishlist carousel below.  {insert wide-eyed serious emoji face here}  Someone please buy all the pretty things I’m coveting at the moment, please!!!  xx- Sarah 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

Pleats and Over the Knee Boots

a_house_in_the_hills_turmeric_chloe_marcie_tote_-8979

Well, I never made it out of pajamas on Tuesday.  I spent the whole day unpacking and got swept away by the wonders of a walk in closet!  I’ve never had a walk-in closet, so this magic is new to me.  But O.M.G!  I want to just live in it.  Seeing all of my clothes hung as if it’s a little boutique- it was a Pretty Woman moment.  Except I’m not a prostitute and Richard Gere wasn’t there, and no one told me I was in the wrong store.  But you know what I mean.  Holy bananas it’s a beautiful thing, a closet that you can walk into!

And if that wasn’t glorious enough, I got dressed yesterday!  It might be sad that I feel accomplished when I take pajamas off these days, or it might just be that I’m getting good at celebrating small victories.  Like this one.  This is pretty much the uniform I’ll be wearing until Summer hits.  Dresses and skirts with over the knee boots and a jacket- that’s my game.  And this blue dress is gonna see a lot of wear (it’s on major sale if you love it as much as I do!).  I’ll also wear it with these booties  when it gets a little warmer.  Oh warm summer, I’m looking forward to you! Ok, signing off now.  Have a great Thursday my friends!  xx- Sarah

a_house_in_the_hills_yahoo_style-1

Alexa Chung is my personal Queen of Denim, I just think she’s always on point with her styling and has perfected the art of looking effortlessly put together.  So I was super excited to read this interview and use it as inspiration for today’s style post in partnership with Yahoo Style.  The article just made made me love her more and reaffirmed what I already suspected- she’s as fun, witty and charming as you’d think she’d be.  And she recently partnered with AG to create a collection that I’m absolutely obsessed with- including the jeans I’m wearing in today’s post!  They fit like a dream.

Ok, now for the giveaway details!  Yahoo Style is offering one lucky reader the two items from Alexa’s collection that I think are closet staples- the jeans I’m wearing in today’s post and what looks like it could very well be the perfect white tee (see below!)  Pop over to check out Alexa’s interview and check out the collection preview- leave a comment below about which piece(s) you’d be most excited to scoop up and a winner will be chosen at random next week.  International readers are invited to enter as well! Good luck my friends!!!  xx- Sarah

Denim Love Affair

I love me a great pair of high waisted flare jeans.  Always have, always will.  I think my spirit animal is a hippie. HA!  In other news, things are moving along with the purchase of our house- we’re hoping to close a week from tomorrow!  I can’t wait to get in there and take some photos so I can share the very beginnings of our next home with you!  There are going to be some DIY projects in the works- so if you’re working on fixing up your own homes hopefully our labor/learning will serve as a resource for you!  Ok, have a great Thursday pals!  xx- Sarah
