Friday Links

975deed1765f2f8d2457dabcfe1bea4d

It’s Friday!  Hip Hip!  I’m in Miami (more on that tomorrow!).  I’m so excited to check out the beach, I’ve ogled other people’s Miami photos on Instagram enough to know it’s something special.  Any other recs for me?  I’m happy to say I’ve got some extra delicious recipes for you below.  I want to do nothing but spend time in the kitchen (and eat yummy things) this time of year.  And I think a lot of you are on the same page with me, right?!  I’ll be getting back to more rigorous food posting soon I promise.  In the meantime, enjoy the links below!  xx- Sarah  {image via}

All About That Blazer

11ddd2ecbba82d45bad44cd3ba9b9ed4

I’m all about blazers as major closet staples.  To throw over a tee or tank, to cover up a little bit in a dress, to add that extra layer to any outfit to make it more pulled together.  They just win all over the place.  What do you think, are they as much a wardrobe staple for you as they are for me?  I’ve rounded up some that I love below if you happen to be in the market!  Happy Thursday my friends!  xx- Sarah  {images via 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 }

Holiday Table 2014

Holiday_Table_2014__A_House_in_the_Hills-11

I’ve been imagining this table in my mind for so many months now that I could just pinch myself that I’ve finally gathered everything to bring my imagination to life!  Putting together table design for the holidays is at the top of my Fun List!  And for months I imagined black and walnut and copper coming together with Eucalyptus and pomegranate to make a romantic, festive, dream of a table.  I’ve been posting teasers on my Instagram like my life depends on it (it definitely does not).  Without further ado, more photos and a full list of sources!  I hope it provides some inspiration for your own holiday table!!  xx- Sarah  ps- a lot of this table is from West Elm, and a lot of it is ON SALE!!!!

plates, salad plates, bowls: West Elm, copper chargers: vintage (found on Etsy), flatware: Hostess Haven, napkins: Homemade (thick, high quality linen cut to size), salad bowl: Rose and Fitzgerald (serving set is vintage), salad bowl + serving spoons: Primitive Reserve, salt bowls: West Elm, glasses: West Elm + vintage, marble candle tray and candles: West Elm (candles here), crystal votive holders: West Elm, food: Red Kuri Squash and Kale Salad (similar here), Beet and Mache salad (more beet salads here)

Pomegranate Rosemary Spritzer

Helllooo Tuesday!  This is no ordinary Tuesday because today we’re celebrating Jess from How Sweet Eats and her pregnancy!!! It’s a virtual baby shower!  I’m not super savvy with how virtual parties work (ok this is my first!), but I do love celebrating rad women doing amazing things!!!  And honestly what is more amazing than GROWING A HUMAN BEING?!   Nothing.  Nothing at all.   So Jess, hugest congrats to you and yours, that’s one lucky baby you’ve got sprouting in there!  I made you a cocktail.  (insert toothy emoji smile).  I know, kind of a dick move since you can’t drink at the moment.  BUT, I’m the gal that drinks too much champagne at real life baby showers and says embarrassing/inappropriate things to whoever is unfortunate enough to get stuck talking to me.  So this is actually wildly appropriate and with the wonders of technology will still be here when you CAN enjoy a fizzy, sparkly, pomegranate-y drink once more!  Congrats again!!!  Happy baby shower-ing!!! xx- Sarah

Inspiring Spaces

Share-Design-Inspiration-Blog-Sorrento-Beach-House-by-Shareen-Joel-Design-04

Happy Monday everyone!  Hope you all had a restful and delicious weekend!  Did I tell you we re-booked our trip to Bali?  The one we cancelled when we moved Carlos in with us.  I can’t remember if I mentioned it, but yes- we are going at the end of the month and with Thanksgiving coming up and that on the books I’m pretty much on anticipation cloud 9!  It’s hard to think of much else.  BUT, this beach house is proving to be a beautiful distraction.  It’s everything that I love- bright, airy, simple.  I want to vacation in it, I want to stumble in with sandy feet and sunburned shoulders and fix a meal in that kitchen while friends get cleaned up.  Oh beach house fantasies, they’re the best!  That was a nice little escape, now on with our Mondays… xx- Sarah    {images via}
