Silver Lined Discoveries: Rain Boots
Even though I live in Southern California where I pray for rain daily and don’t have the opportunity to use rain accoutrements very often, I looooove rain boots….as does our daughter, Sweetly Six. I think it’s genetic. Just sayin’… In fact, I tend to wear my rain boots even when it’s foggy, on the… Continue reading Silver Lined Discoveries: Rain Boots
Silver Lined Discoveries: Carrière Frères Industrie
This week, I thought I’d launch a fun new series called “Silver Lined Discoveries.” While hiking yesterday with girlfriends, we spouted off one fun discovery after another (I sure wish I had my journal to write everything down!). I don’t know about you, but I think that there is nothing better than a recommendation from a… Continue reading Silver Lined Discoveries: Carrière Frères Industrie
Silver Lined Office
I’m a big fan of office space. Beginning when I was a little girl and sat at my dad’s secretary’s desk on Sunday mornings, I have been enamored with all things office-related. There’s something very inspiring about offices and work space…perhaps it is because they are the birthplace of productivity, creativity and ingenuity. Plus, I may… Continue reading Silver Lined Office
The Costume Institute Met Gala 2012
If ever there were an Oscars of Fashion, the annual Met Gala would certainly be it! Always held on the 2nd Monday in May, last night was the night! When the ball first began in 1948, it was a midnight supper in December at which society ladies paid $50 to wear Costume Institute gowns. As with many aspects of… Continue reading The Costume Institute Met Gala 2012
Lulu's Lovely Designs – Lulu de Kwiatkowski
Artist and textile designer Lulu deKwiatkowski is a favorite of mine. I especially love her bright colors and lively designs. They are wonderfully chic and playfully childlike…yet refined enough for any room. I’m particularly excited about her new line of kids’ fabrics for Schumacher. In the collection, she mixes oversize hand-drawn motifs with tiny prints which is simultaneously sophisticated… Continue reading Lulu's Lovely Designs – Lulu de Kwiatkowski

Apartment Drool
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!
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"
