This summer, I had the great good fortune to meet Julia Leach, founder and president of the new and magnificent company, Chance. Julia was kind enough to answer some of my musings, which made me all the more crazy about her and Chance (Silver Lining!).

Fashion SL's: Dresses
Today’s Silver Lining fashion post is about my love of dresses. I love nothing more than wearing a dress for day or evening. A dress is one of the easiest things in my closet to wear because no matter what I wear with it, I feel pulled together.
Fashion SL's: Vogue
It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Fashion post. However, my fashion enthusiasm was ignited when I saw this week’s release of Sarah Jessica Parker on the cover of the August issue of Vogue (Silver Lining!).
Lovely Libraries
Libraries are one of my favorite places on earth. Any type of library. Home library. Work library. Old fashioned libraries (from which one can actually check out books!). The smell of a library always lifts my spirits. New or old, but especially the old ones with their peculiar combination of old stone, dust and woodworm.… Continue reading Lovely Libraries

A dear friend of mine had a melanoma (skin cancer) removed from her forehead this week. FC (F-bomb Cancer). Her scare is a wake up call to me about the need to take every precaution against the sun’s dangerous rays.

The onset of summer brings with it joyful, (pre breast cancer) Silver Lined memories of gingham.
Fashion SL's: Scarves
A lovely reader who recently (& unfortunately) joined the FBC (F-bomb Breast Cancer) club asked if I would write a post describing how I tie my scarves (on my head). So, here it is!
Fashion SL's: Set in Style: The Jewelry of Van Cleef and Arpels
While in New York, I went to the Set in Style: The Jewelry of Van Cleef and Arpels exhibit at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. For a period of time, I completely forgot that I have breast cancer. What a Silver Lining!
Fashion SL's: Jules Allen Cashmere
Jules Allen is one of those people who, if she weren’t so darn nice, a girl could really be snarky about her because she is gorgeous, talented, fun, loyal, energetic, and oh so sweet (and itty-bitty!). She designs my favorite cashmere line, Jules Allen Cashmere. I wear her cashmere all the time because it is… Continue reading Fashion SL's: Jules Allen Cashmere
