I’ve just come across some fabulous new shoes that I am super excited about: Aperlaï Moccasins (SL). I definitely have a REAL thing for shoes. Kind of like my penchant for white shirts. Too many (well, that’s not really possible). And I adore them all! The company is a collaboration between the French brand’s president… Continue reading Fashion Silver Linings: Aperlaï Moccasins

Fashion Silver Linings: Lyn Devon
As I am still couch glue, I am envisioning the fun that spring fashion that has to offer, especially from Lyn Devon (lyndevon.com). The quote above reminds me of her. Lyn is one of my favorite designers. We had the opportunity to meet at a dinner in Chicago to celebrate James Galanos’s mentorship of her.… Continue reading Fashion Silver Linings: Lyn Devon
Couch Glue Entertainment
Now that I am 8 days out from my first round of chemotherapy, I was really hoping that I would be feeling better. It’s been a bear of a week (as you may have endured with me).

Fashion SL's: Vintage and Decades

Silver Lining Book: Fashion Drawing in Vogue

A day spent with this book would transform any FBC-funk into a beautiful, gorgeous SL. Plus, you may remember that I DO like a picture-book!… Continue reading Silver Lining Book: Fashion Drawing in Vogue
Brookside Dreams of Bergdorf Goodman
Is there anything better than Bergdorf Goodman, in general, but especially their Holiday Windows? Well, yes, I’m sure that I could come up with plenty of far more altruistic and philanthropic things that are “better” than the Holiday Windows at BG. Perhaps “magical” is a better word. To me, there is absolutely nothing more magical… Continue reading Brookside Dreams of Bergdorf Goodman
Brookside Diaries
Writing in journals is, I think, one of the most fun things to do. I have been a HUGE fan of journal writing for the past few years. I virtually ALWAYS have one with me…and when I don’t, I get a little jittery. I use journals to jot ideas, recommendations, dreams, and “to do” lists,… Continue reading Brookside Diaries
