TABLETOP STYLING WITH HOSTESS HAVEN
I LOVE everything about entertaining, from start to finish. Meal planning, setting the table, choosing the right music- it’s all so much fun! And of course the best part is that moment where I’m surrounded by loved ones at the table, everyone is laughing and enjoying themselves and I take a pause to sit back and soak it all in. That is the best feeling! I’m a believer that at a dinner party things don’t have to be fancy to be great, but it does add an extra bit of fun when they are! We didn’t have a registry when we got married and I’d never taken the time to fully put together a table set, so I recently enlisted the help of my dear friend / table styling genius Farra Miron of Hostess Haven to consult and and help me find the perfect tableware for all occasions! I’m sharing the results below- I hope you love! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
I admit, my taste are all over the place- I love things rustic, glam, vintage and modern. So when Farra was helping me with the table she put together the perfect mix of all and even incorporated a bunch of what we already had! The Heath Ceramics plates that we got at the factory store last Fall were the starting point, those are going to be our dishes for life, I love them so much. This table is my dream celebration table- what I would love to have for special occasions or anytime I felt like glamming it up a bit. It would be perfect for a girls brunch and at night the sparkle of all the gold would make it so festive and beautiful!
CABBAGE WRAPS WITH SPICY PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
Napa cabbage makes the most delicious wrap, I can’t believe I’m just discovering it! And isn’t everything in life just better with peanut sauce? I mean, not EVERYTHING, but definitely most things! Case in point: noodles. Noodles with peanut sauce will have saved lives. And cabbage wraps with spicy peanut dipping sauce will increase your chances of winning one of those crazy powerball lotteries where there’s like $75 million at stake. I don’t know how or why, but I’m sure it will. So…. What are you waiting for? xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
GAP STYLD.BY 3
Sometimes there’s nothing better for a comfortable day than a pair of chinos, an oversized blouse, some sneakers and a few cute accessories to style it up a bit! I’ve been loving pastels as we sneak into spring here in the desert and loving them even more when I can find a way to work them into an outfit with some more masculine patterns like this plaid blouse. Hope you love as much as I do! xx- Sarah

STRIPES TWO WAYS
My love of stripes knows no bounds! And I’m not afraid to mix my patterns- a wide striped crop top with thin striped heels and a cow print bag? Sure thing, sign me up! And call me crazy but I asked for your advice on what to do with my hair to mix it up a bit and the most common answer was to grow out my bangs a bit and sweep them to the side. It’s been some weeks in the making but they’re FINALLY sweeping instead of just blinding me. I mean, seriously, there were a lot of days that looked like this! I know it’s kind of hard to tell in the photos, but what do you think? Should I continue to grow them and sweep them? My only complaint is that I can no longer get away with letting my eyebrows turn into wild caterpillars, there is an extra bit of grooming required. Oh, hair decisions. And yes, I’m aware that I’m incredibly boring and this is a paragraph about sweeping my bangs to the side, a barely noticeable change. I think this speaks to what a giant baby I am when it comes to my hair, which is why your advice is extra appreciated! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}

ASPARAGUS AND CORN CAKES
Sometimes I come up with a recipe idea that I really don’t think will work, but that I know I have to try anyway. I love a good challenge, and I’m never afraid to fail (at least in the kitchen). These asparagus and corn cakes were one of those ideas- I had serious doubts that I could make them stick together with flax eggs and when they DID, I felt like an Olympian. Small victories my friends, small victories. These cakes are silly delicious, easy to throw together and HEALTHY. Have at them! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
