I’m dying a happy death over Helena Rhoner’s home tour. It’s colorful, full of personal touches, gorgeous furniture and incredible art. Perfection. This is a space I’d happily move into, and then spend the rest of my life going through that amazing library of books one at a time! That’s a dream of mine, to have an epic library in our home someday. This will serve as inspiration. More after the jump, and this is a tour you really don’t want to miss! xx- Sarah

I stalked this dress for so long and so hard it probably should have taken out a restraining order. And when Shopbop had their most recent sale i snapped it up in a hot second at a huge discount. Lesson: stalking is totally ok when it involves expensive dresses and getting them for half off. And, while we’re on the topic of awesome, can we chat about my bracelet and ring? Samantha Wills you slay me. xx- Sarah {more after the jump}

Yesterday was my birthday and last night we headed to one of our favorite spots in Palm Springs for dinner! And of course, like good photographers are wont to do, we took photos to help us remember the night. I’m striking my pure-birthday-sass pose, and Lou looks just as cute as they come, if you ask my opinion. We’ll be doing a second round of birthday celebrations later this week when we head to Big Bear Lake for a night! Follow along on my instragram and Lou’s instragram if you’d like! xx- Sarah
* edit * just found this skirt which is similar to the one i’m wearing, in case you’re interested!
And as promised, I’m back with Jen’s second recipe for today! Doesn’t this mango, black bean and corn salad look like exactly what you want to eat for lunch?! Such fresh summer flavor, so satisfying on a hot summer day (of which we have a limited amount left, so get chopping!). Recipe and a bit from Jen after the jump! xx- Sarah
From Jen Lauren Grant:
I’m so excited to be guest posting for Sarah while she’s away! I love A House in the Hills and have gotten many of my favorite healthy recipes from here. I can’t quite invent recipes from scratch yet, but years ago my dear friend Melissa gave me this mango, avocado, and black bean salad recipe. It’s quick, healthy, delicious, and doesn’t even require any cooking! I hope you enjoy!
I’m so excited to share a couple of recipes from my Birds of a Feather cohort, Jen Lauren Grant today! She’s amazing and I knew she’d come up with something yummy to share, but I didn’t expect that she’d come up with TWO tasty treats for us all! So today will be a double decker post day. I’ll be back later to share Jen’s mango, avocado and black bean salad. YAY! For now, get lost checking out her blog and gorgeous photos while sipping on some sweet summertime lemonade! xx- Sarah {more after the jump}
