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.

Christmas Freebee

Lets be honest, who doesn't love free music. And even better, free Christmas music. My husband Drew plays in a band called Ives the Band. As and early Christmas present they are giving away their Christmas song for FREE! I am confident you will love it. To download click on the picture above or, {here}. Also, come say hi and like their Facebook page!

Teddy Snacks

My poor puppy. Each time we eat dinner (or any meal for that matter) Teddy looks up with anticipation that just maybe one little scrap will fall. Usually I don’t give in but, lets be honest, how can anyone resist that cute little face. In the quest to break the habit of feeding Teddy from the table we visited Three Dog Bakery. Three Dog Bakery is the perfect place to get yummy treats just for little fido. 3 Dog Bakery not only makes yummy treats specifically for your dog, but also carries a variety of other Canine products.

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!

She Said Yes

 Hi all! Above is my amazing friend and partner in crime Lauren and Bryce, my super awesome bearded brother-in-law. You have seen lauren before {here}. She is the woman behind the camera who takes many of my outfit pictures. She is also my new future sister. Lauren and Bryce were recently  engaged. He put a ring on it!! It was perfect, and as you can tell.. she said yes. The family joined Bryce and Lauren on their beautiful hike where Bryce popped the question on one knee over looking the cliffs of the pacific ocean.  They are truly perfect for each other. Congratulations you two.

{All Accessories by Alexander McQueen}

It's kind of a ironic to call a skull "pretty" but I am in love with these pretty Alexander McQueen skull accessories seen above. Okay lets be honest, I have been obsessed with skulls in general lately. I bought {This} miniature ceramic skull a couple months ago. Skulls also inspired halloween look {Here}.  The skull trend can be a little tricky because it tends to look either gothic or super morbid. To avoid this look things that are lighter in color or kick up the sparkle a bit. Also, stray away from skull and crossbones, it looks too much like a pirate. Skulls have not only shown up in accessories but also decor and apparel. See some of my favorites below.
