Yellow, Yellow Everywhere - elsie green

Yellow, Yellow Everywhere

I grew up in the 70s and my mother was always on top of fashion and home decor trends.  In the home I grew up in the kitchen was yellow, and our dining chairs were yellow leather with chrome frames.  Very chic for the time, I assure you.

Fashion After 40 | Sarah's Denim Edit

Call it a throwback to my tom-boy youth, call it my my current every day uniform, or call it what it really is: classic. In my eyes, nothing is more classic than good denim. It has seen many a trend come and go, just as I have in my 40 some odd years. And just like myself, denim is staying true to itself.

White Out

We love a bold wall, but white has always been our go-to for a clean, light foundation.  When in doubt, we always start with white.  We can layer on color later if we change our minds.

Something JP hears often around the Furber house is "make the croutons!" In a blink, he whips up a batch of buttery, garlicky croutons.

Throw Shade | The Sunglass Guide

Let's set aside the obvious purpose of sunglasses - protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays - and focus on the style quotient of these face framing accessories.
