Did you wake up feeling like leaping? I sure hope so because today sure is the day for it! Why? Well today, February 29th, is “Leap Day,” an extra (intercalary) day added during a Leap Year, making the year 366 days long – and not 365 days. Did you know that: It was the ancient Egyptians… Continue reading Happy Leap Year!

SL Book: Paris versus New York
I’m so crazy about the (relatively) new book by Vahram Muratyan, Paris versus New York: A tally of two cities. The book is a chic and humorous visual homage to the two cities that the author loves. The vision came about while strolling the streets of Manhattan, when Muratyan, a Paris-based graphic designer, wondered why it… Continue reading SL Book: Paris versus New York
Oscar Drool
Did you all happen to watch the Academy Awards, Hollywood’s biggest night? We sure did! In fact, Sweetly Six put on her “Ball Gown” to watch the red carpet arrivals. On the menu: popcorn, ice cream, chips and shrimp. I thought it was a super show. Really fun and entertaining. Billy Crystal is always a Silver Lining in… Continue reading Oscar Drool
Saturday's Sweeps: Paper
This week’s Saturday Sweeps found me crushing on all things paper related. Ever since I was a little girl, I have loved paper. I remember going with my dad to his office on Sunday mornings and sitting at his secretary’s desk either writing or typing on “fancy paper.” That was my idea of a heavenly… Continue reading Saturday's Sweeps: Paper

The Vogue feature on Tory Burch’s new Southampton home is pretty magnificent and drool inducing. The home is a collaboration between architect & designer Daniel Romualdez and decorator Eve Hood. The home sure feels warm, welcoming, bright and fun! I hope that she and her family are very happy there (Silver Lining). Southampton Home of Tory Burch… Continue reading Tory Burch at Home
Fun Films for Recovery
This is a smattering of what I will be watching this week as I recover. Newbies and Oldies. All Silver Linings!
Saturday Sweeps: The Home Life
In the world of television, “Sweeps” is the periodic analysis of who is watching which programs both in terms of numbers and demographic data. Because I spend an inordinate amount of time sweeping through (& being thoroughly entertained by) blogs, websites, Pinterest boards and all things web, I thought that I would start sharing my… Continue reading Saturday Sweeps: The Home Life
More Fashion Week Fun with Lyn Devon
Fashion week is serious fun. I just love it. I really do. One of my favorite stops whilst in New York was to see Lyn Devon’s Fall Collection. I’ve written about Lyn on TSP before. She is one of my absolute favorite designers. Lyn has a unique and extraordinarily special way of reinventing classics. Her… Continue reading More Fashion Week Fun with Lyn Devon
Spring into Vogue!
My idea of a perfect afternoon is a cup of tea and the March issue of Vogue. March is my favorite issue because it is the spring fashion issue. Now that we live full-time in California, I am partial to spring collections. Plus, spring clothes feel happier and more feminine. And at the very least,… Continue reading Spring into Vogue!
