Hello friends! As promised today I have the recipes for you from Friday’s Mother’s Day Tabletop Inspiration post! And more photos. Because they’re just too pretty and I had a heck of a time trying to choose which ones to share! A quick reminder of the menu: Coconut Ginger Beet Soup, Salted Herb Branzino with Mirin Chili Oil, Pan Seared Artichokes, Baby Bib Lettuce Salad with Cherries, Apricots, Arugula flowers and Tarragon Vinaigrette. And for dessert: Angel Food Layer Cake with Whipped [Coconut Cream, Pistachios and Cacao Nibs (ever so slightly modified from this recipe). Our recipes after the jump! xx- Sarah {Styling by the incredible Farra Miron}
Happy Monday friends! I hope you had a great weekend! I took the full two days to myself- the first time since we moved here in January that I’ve had a proper two days off. I needed it in a bad way. So unfortunately I didn’t get the recipe posts up for today that I was hoping to- and it may take me a couple of days still. I spent a few hours on the beach by myself Sunday, thinking about life- and that time to be alone with my thoughts has been so few and far between this year with all of the craziness surrounding selling/buying houses and moving and business and regular life stuff and four months of struggling with my health. I needed it. And I’m in the midst of working on what I like to think of as “my shit”. I apologize for those of you who my language offends but I come from a family of pirates and I embrace it. {photo via and more after the jump} Click to read more
Happy Friday! Today is an exciting day for me for two reasons- the first one being this Mother’s Day inspiration table that Farra from Hostess Haven and I put together to inspire any brunches you may be planning (celebrating moms in any way you can is just the best!). I hope you love it as much as I do- we worked long and hard on this one and are so proud of how it turned out! I’ve listed sources for every bit of it that I can in case you’ve got your eye on the tabletop goodies. And on Monday I’ll share recipes and even more photos! But for now here’s a teaser of the menu: Coconut Ginger Beet Soup, Salted Herb Branzino with Mirin Chili Oil, Pan Seared Artichokes, Baby Bib Lettuce Salad with Cherries, Apricots, Arugula flowers and Tarragon Vinaigrette. And for dessert: Angel Food Layer Cake with Whipped Coconut Cream, Pistachios and Cacao Nibs (ever so slightly modified from this recipe). DO YOU NOT WANT TO EAT ALL OF THAT?! We did. We sat down with our husbands and intern and devoured it. Of course it was cold from sitting out while we took a bazillion photos but it was still so, SO yummy!
Now, for the second reason I’m on cloud fifteen about today’s post. Farra and I have decided to team up and start working as a food photographer/styling duo- PROFESSIONALLY! We don’t have a website, but it’s in the works. And if you search the hashtags “MORAMIRON” or “MORAMIRONPROPSHOP” on Instagram you’ll find some of what we’ve been collaborating on. I’ve been photographing food for a long time, Farra was born to style- and when the two of us come together to work it just feels like magic. I’m tempted to use words like “synergy” and “creative soul-mates” but I’m very aware of how lame that sounds. Still, I’m at a loss for words at what happens when we work together that doesn’t sound cheesy. I just know that we’re meant to do this, and that it’s so very, very exciting! So, keep an eye out for MORAMIRON and wish us luck in our new venture! xx- Sarah {so much more after the jump}
I’ve been wearing the same two shades of red for so long now that I think it’s safe to say I’m officially in a lip color RUT. Which is why I was super excited to try a bunch of new colors and styles from my fave- BeautyKind, the online retailer that gives back (read more about that here). Lip crayons and glosses and good old fashioned sticks- in shades of red and pink I’ve never tried- it’s pure fun! It also made me realize I’ve really been missing out. There are colors that are way more flattering, and these lip crayons are SO GOOD for day wear. Plus they’re adorable. That counts for a lot in my book! I think lipcolor is the quickest way to brighten up a face so I’m not sure why I haven’t experimented more but you can bet that I’ll be mixing it up a lot more from now on.
In the photo at the top I’m wearing Gorgeous’ “Bombshell”. It’s creamy, a bright pop of pink and, well, it makes me feel sassy! It’s PINK without being all HEY I’M WEARING PINK LIPSTICK! Does that make sense? I’m crazy about the color and it’s so creamy and easy to apply. That goes a long way for me- being that I’m not the most adept at make-up.

Hi friends! Since we’re still in the thick of getting settled in the house (HOW HAS IT BEEN THREE MONTHS?!) you know I’m scouring the interwebs for shiny things to fill every nook and cranny. My obsession with metals is not stopping anytime soon, so be prepared for a lot of brass, copper, bronze and gold when I can finally share something! I put together this roundup of gold goodness from High Fashion Home to inspire your own decorating today. Ok FINE. I’m shopping. A lot. And I’m dragging you into it with me!!!!! {monkey covering mouth emoji} We’re probably years away from a kitchen remodel but I already know I have to have (as in will probably suffer a sad, lonely death without) those bar stools. And that lamp. *sigh* I thank the universe every day that there are people designing beautiful things to fill our homes with, I get so much satisfaction from surrounding my family with loveliness to look at. Ok, I’m rambling. Or rationalizing. It’s hard to tell! Get yer shop on, I need partners in crime! And I added some mystery links below to a few other things I’m coveting because surprises are FUN and my wish list is long! Enjoy! xx- Sarah
Happy Tuesday friends! Today I’ve got some home inspiration for you! I’ve been sharing sneak peeks on my Instagram- I’ll do smaller, project based reveals down the road but wanted to share at least little glimpses of the progress along the way! And of course the completed room tours of the living room and dining room are only a matter of time. It always takes SO much longer to get settled than you would think, doesn’t it? Even when you know almost exactly what you want (I designed our living room in my head before the offer on the house was even accepted!). Here’s some fun bar cart inspiration to keep you inspired in the meantime. xx- Sarah {images via / 1 / 2 / 3 }
