As you may know already, I am quite a looky-lou when it comes to admiring the way people live in their homes. The Vogue profiles always provide a source of inspiration…and drool. In the April issue of Vogue, L’Wren Scott’s Left Bank Parisian apartment is showcased. Wowsy Bowsy, is it ever beautiful! I hope that… Continue reading Apartment Drool

Jason Wu Does it Again!
I am super excited about the Jason Wu collaboration with Canvas Home Collection. What a Silver Lined talent he is! I was introduced to him back in 2007 by an chicster girlfriend who promised, “Jason Wu is going to be HUGE.” She was spot on! Wu was born Born in Taiwan. He learned how to sew by… Continue reading Jason Wu Does it Again!
John Cleese's 5 Factors to Make Your Life More Creative
Recently I came across a fantastic (and perfectly timed, of course) article on the website Brain Pickings. Feeling in a bit of a creative slump, this article landed in my in box at a Silver Lined moment. Do you know John Cleese? You probably do, right? If not, I’m excited to introduce him to you.… Continue reading John Cleese's 5 Factors to Make Your Life More Creative
Happy National Librarian Day
Did you know that today is National Librarian Day? What a Silver Lining it is that there is a whole day dedicated to librarians. My most vivid memory of elementary school (aside from dodgeball – where we used REAL balls, not those nerf things that are used today!) is spending time in the library, with the… Continue reading Happy National Librarian Day
Nerve Bugs
Recently our daughter (also known as Sweetly Six) had an issue that she wanted to discuss with one of her teachers. In preparation for her conversation, she told me that she had “Nerve Bugs.” “What are Nerve Bugs?” I asked. “They are when you have butterflies flying around in your tummy,” she said. Wowsy. Bowsy.… Continue reading Nerve Bugs
Megan Simon is the "Body Whisperer"
A major Silver Lining of the day was receiving an email from my friend, Megan Simon, announcing her profile in tomorrow’s Sunday New York Times magazine, T. I love the description of her as “The Body Whisperer”…couldn’t be more perfect! I’ve been getting facials at A Beautiful You (the salon she co-owns with her equally fabulous… Continue reading Megan Simon is the "Body Whisperer"
SL Book: Not the Last Goodbye
I’ve just finished the most amazing book, Not the Last Goodbye. I picked it up because I saw that it was written by David Servan-Schreiber (not because I knew what it was about!). Shortly after my diagnosis, I devoured his first book, Anticancer: A New Way of Life (a must read, by the way, whether… Continue reading SL Book: Not the Last Goodbye
Shopping for a Cause!
Today, Tuesday, I am super excited to co-host a trunk show for one of my favorite designers, Lyn Devon. Lyn is widely heralded as the fresh new voice of American luxury sportswear and recognized as a chicster (I can only imagine what being a chicster feels like!). Lyn is not only talented, but incredibly generous… Continue reading Shopping for a Cause!
Tennis, Anyone?
As many of you may already know, I am cuckoo about tennis. This past year has been wrought with one challenge after another, including having been sidelined from my beloved sport not once, but twice (thanks to two surgeries) and switching from playing right handed to left handed (because I developed a nasty case of… Continue reading Tennis, Anyone?
A Beautiful EastOver Weekend
Hope you all have had a beautiful and healthy weekend! Our EastOver (Easter + Passover) has been filled with family, friends, fun, food, frivolity…and flashes (as in hot flashes thanks to the obscene amount of sugar that I consumed…which brings on hot flashes!). As I look at the images from the weekend, I am filled… Continue reading A Beautiful EastOver Weekend
