Its Been too long

Hi friends. It has been far too long. The last time I posted was over two months ago. Eeeek. Over the past two months we have been in the process of relocating. Drew, Teddy, and I packed up and moved to the beautiful city of Malibu, California. Moving is such a daunting task. I never realized how many nick-nacs I have stuffed in to various drawers until I had to pack them all up.  From the day we found out we would be moving we had four days to pack our entire home and be in Malibu. I don't think I have ever had so caffeine as in those four days. Although the process was crazy, we made it in one piece.

Malibu is a great little beach town right outside of Los Angeles (I feel a city guide coming on). I wasn't  sure of what to expect when moving to Malibu, but everyone is so welcoming and kind. In reality the city is only 13,000 people so it is quite small. I am slowly getting acquainted to all the local shops and people. it is so exciting to be in a new place and explore, get lost, and find new treasures. In some aspects I like moving because it gives me the opportunity work with a blank canvas. New people, new places all add to big picture.

We have been slowly getting our town-house together. Little by little each room is starting to feel like home. We left some of the furniture in our old place because it would fit awkward in the new place. Mostly, we left behind my office furniture. This means I get to play. Designing my new office space is so exciting. In an earlier post {Here} I mentioned some of my office space inspiration. So excited to get started.

 To be honest, I have really missed writing White Like Sage. I am excited to start this new chapter in our life and share it with you. Here are some pictures over the past couple of months....

XO, Sarah

Structured Yet Casual

I am basically in love with this top from Zara.  I originally saw it here on Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere. It is one of those pieces that seems underwhelming hanging on the hanger but when worn it is just perfect. It is structured but not constricting. The material has enough weight so it looks more expensive than it actually is. I love this top because it can so easily be dressed up or down. I wore this casual take romping around El Paso Robles the week before thanksgiving. It was cool an a bit rainy so threw on a pair of boots and was ready to go. It can easily be paired with a pencil skirt, heals and a statement necklace (like the ones seen here) for a more formal look.  

XO- Sarah 

That Happy Day

Wow! How time flies! Three years ago today I married my best friend. Growing up I would always laugh when people said, "when you know, you know." I though it was so cheesy. When I met Drew I knew that ever so cheesy saying was spot on. I am excited to spend the rest of my life going on adventures with him. He is my very best friend and I am thankful that God brought him into my life. 

Since I wasn't writing this blog three years ago I thought I would share some of our wedding photos. 

Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Must Have

Hello Lovlies! I have mentioned a few times how much I love Pumpkin. This is my second pumpkin creation of the year. The first seen{here}. Last year around Thanksgiving I went to a little english tea house on the central coast. I wish I could remember the name. I searched desperately but still can't find it. If I find the name I will most certainly update this post because it was amazing. This little tea house served the most decadent Pumpkin Bisque. Since then I have been hooked. It has become an essential  Thanksgiving staple. Although they wouldn't share their recipe, my mother-in law found one that tastes pretty identical. You will be surprised how easy it is to make this Pumpkin Bisque. 

1  16oz Can Libby's Pumpkin 

1 16oz Can Chicken Broth 

1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce 

1/2 Tsp Cinnamon 

1/4 Tsp Nutmeg 

1/4 Tsp Salt

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar 

1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar 

1/2 - 1 Cup Heavy Cream 

In a food processor (or blender) puree' all ingredients except heavy cream. Heavy cream will be added at the end. Once smooth, pour in to large sauce pan. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10min. Remove from heat and add cream. Reheat to medium, stirring constantly until smooth. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of cream or sherry. Serve immediately. 

Enjoy! 

My Kind of Day

October just ended and it was in the 70s last week. It is an understatement to say I am excited for the rain and much needed gloomy weather. With Starbuck Thanksgiving blend freshly brewed the dark clouds are really setting the tone for today. Bring on the boots and mittens. 

Homemade Pop-Tarts

As kids it was a rare occasion when we were allowed to have Pop-Tarts. Pop-tarts... the kid contraband. At the grocery store we would try to see who could sneak a box in the cart with out getting caught? Usually mom would catch us; but every once and a while, she would let it slide and pretend she didn't see us sneaking them in. I made this homemake pop-tart with my Mom in mind. Thank you for caring enough about us to not let us eat these ALL the time. More importantly, thank you for letting some slide. The thing I love about {This} recipe is once you have the pastry down you can fill your pop-tart with basically anything. I used cinnamon sugar, Nutella, and Strawberry Jam. They paired perfectly with a fresh cup of coffee.
