You know how much I love Vogue, right? Well, how excited am I about the June feature on America’s top athletes who are preparing for the London Olympics? A Silver Lined start to the day (and will hopefully be a motivation for my upcoming hike!). Hope Solo, Soccer Ryan Lochte, Swimming Serena Williams, Tennis Ashton Eaton, Track… Continue reading Hopeful Olympics! – Annie Leibovitz

Saturday Sweeps: House Crush
The HOTY (a/k/a Husband Of The Year) and I are getting ready to do a little renovation to our living room. After three years, we are realizing that our original plan for the room isn’t working out as we initially intended. All good, though. A little change is good for the soul (heaven knows I… Continue reading Saturday Sweeps: House Crush
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
Spring's Bounty
In perusing the internet this weekend, I was giddy to find Vogue.com’s feature on six new (and very special!) cookbooks for the Spring season. Though most of them are way too fancy schmancy for me (i.e., I don’t understand 1/2 of the terms in most of the recipes!), I have joined the club of people… Continue reading Spring's Bounty
April Vogue
I’m so excited that rain is predicted in Santa Barbara this weekend! It is predicted all weekend, actually. We have had such a sunny, beautiful winter (Silver Lining), but the down side is that things are dry-dry-dry here. So, a weekend of rain is a major Silver Lining for our community providing not only much needed… Continue reading April Vogue

Mine just arrived and I’m super excited about it!

I am crazy about the Vogue APT with LSD features. They are definitely drool-inducing. Though I really and truly never want to live anywhere other than where I live now, I freely admit to being a Looky-Lou. I just love seeing the way other people live. …and can I just say that I LOVE the… Continue reading Apartment Drool

I’m super honored to have been asked to be a guest curator on Kirtsy! In case you are unfamiliar with it, I’m very excited to introduce you to the site! Kirtsy is just like that friend who always finds the best stuff. Only better. How’s that for a Silver Lining? Four years ago, three friends started… Continue reading Guest Curator on Kirtsy.com
Tory Burch at Home
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
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!
