May Grey Survival Wear

a_house_in_the_hills_joie_romper_lulu_frost_pin-4

The most effortless outfits are always my favorite.  Case in point- this romper.  It’s a throw-on piece, it’ll always work and can be dressed up or down. Layered with a jacket it’s my go-to for these May grey days we’re having where it starts out gloomy and cold but mid morning turns into a perfectly sunny beautiful day! And the Lulu Frost traveler pin (which happens to be my new favorite accessory) adds the perfect little pop to the waistband, don’t you think?  Happy styling my friends!  See you mañana.  xx- Sarah

First Style Post of 2015!

Sarah_Yates_a_house_in_the_hills_Club_monaco12015-3 Hey friends!  I’m so excited to be shooting style posts again for the new year- I’m back in the game!  Of course I’m dressing a holiday cookie bump, so pants with an elastic waistband are especially appreciated at the moment (these ones happen to be on sale)!  And I’ve been on the hunt for a turtleneck sweater for a bit now- and I’ve fallen completely in love with this one.  So cozy and soft!  I’m looking forward to lots of fun this coming year in the style department- with a focus on building up my closet staples and finding great pieces on sale.  Horray!  See you tomorrow.  xx- Sarah Shop this outfit: pants: Club Monaco, sweater: Helmut Lang (here and on sale here), shoes: Zara (similar), bag: Chloe, sunglasses: Karen Walker Sarah_Yates_a_house_in_the_hills_chloe_bag_12015-6

White and Blue and Summer All Over

rebecca_minkoff_skirt__a_house_in_the_hills-3

This outfit is the thing my Summer dreams are made of:  lightweight, breezy, fun.  I just don’t understand why there are any other seasons?!  I kid, I kid!   Kind of.  I love Spring, Winter and Fall, don’t be sad weather lovers!  But I probably would live in perpetual Summer if I could.  Which is a big part of the reason we moved to Palm Springs.  I sometimes joke that it’s really a perfect #caftanlife here in the desert, and that I’m a wildly happy muumuu wearer. Remind me of this come the end of September when I’m complaining about wanting to cozy up in furry oversized sweaters, ok?  Sometimes I fall trap to that grass is always greener thing!  #muumuusforever  xx- Sarah  PS- I just made some major updates to the shop page, pop over and see what else is on my absurdly long wishlist!

Shop this outfit:  Skirt: Rebecca Minkoff, shirt:  Viva Aviva, shoes: Brian Atwood (sold out but another color I love here and a similar style I love here), bag: Chloe, sunglasses: Karen Walker, bracelets: Giles & Brother, Kristen Elspeth, Alexis Bittar, rings: Losselliani, Jules Smith
