Last week when I was meandering around my favorite (independent) bookstore (Tecolote in Montecito), I came across the most divine magazine called Kinfolk. Even though it’s technically called a magazine, it looks and feels like a book…and an old friend. I am beyond crazy about this publication. It’s so fabulous! Katie Searle-Williams, the Features Editor… Continue reading A Conversation with Katie Searle-Williams of Kinfolk Magazine

Graceful Grace
As I’ve mentioned a few times, I am super duper excited to get my hands on Grace Coddington’s upcoming memoir (to be released in November). As Vogue’s Creative Director, she is a force. Anna Wintour has described Grace as the “heart and soul of the magazine.” Her vision and talent extends far beyond the pages of the… Continue reading Graceful Grace
Street Style
It sure has been a cancer-heavy week! Geesh! As I sat in the chemo lab yesterday with my dear girlfriend (who was receiving her 1st infusion), we found ourselves talking first talking about the f-bomb of her diagnosis and all that has come from it and then made our way to fashion, which has always… Continue reading Street Style
Fall's Fabulous Folios
Did you know that the publishing industry has seasons? Indeed it does. The fall is my most favorite of the book publishing seasons! Actually, come to think of it, fall is my most favorite season — period. I’m super excited about the goose-bump-worthy coffee table books that will be released in the next couple of… Continue reading Fall's Fabulous Folios
Fall Film Excitement

October seems to begin the time of the year when movies get really good, if not GREAT! This fall, the film Anna Karenina is coming to theaters. I’m sooooo excited about it! Between the… Continue reading Fall Film Excitement
Fashion Fun
This week is New York Fashion Week, which happens to be one of my favorite weeks of the year. As you know, having (and trying to have!) balance is a big part of my life, especially post-FBC (f-bomb breast cancer for new readers). Fashion is so much fun for me (Silver Lining) and balances the… Continue reading Fashion Fun
Fall Fashion: The LBD
As we begin to move from the bright whites of summer into the darker palate of fall, I find myself drawn to the classic Little Black Dress (LBD). I’m such a fan of the LBD. It’s one of those pieces in my closet that I turn to whenever I want to feel comfortable, elegant, sophisticated… Continue reading Fall Fashion: The LBD
Garden Dreams
You know that I’m a huge fan of Oscar de la Renta, right? Not only is he extraordinarily (stratospherically!) talented, but he is kind, warm, enthusiastic and generous…an ultimate Silver Lining in the world. Well, I was super excited to see the Architectural Digest profile of his spectacular gardens in the Dominican Republic. Hope you enjoy… Continue reading Garden Dreams
Summer’s Seersucker Style
Seersucker has always been synonymous with summertime (oh how I do love alliteration)! I adore any kind of seersucker, anytime! Did you know that this Silver Lined fabric comes to us from India? The word “seersucker” originated from the Hindi, Urdu, and Persian words “shir o shakar,” meaning “milk and sugar” because the fabric’s smooth… Continue reading Summer’s Seersucker Style
