When I was a kid, there was a liquor store on both ends of our block (in San Pedro, CA). Sometimes after dinner, my dad would walk us down to the corner so we could pick out a popsicle for dessert. On one occasion, the elderly woman who owned one of them saved my dad’s life (or at least saved him from a knifing) with the shotgun she kept under the counter. So I have a soft spot for these old run down Southern California liquor stores... which is kinda funny since I don’t drink. 😉 #insidesycamore

When I was 20 years old I got a summer job as a camp counselor in Brussels. It was an amazing time but also a lonely time.
I found out that a favorite band of mine would be playing a show in a legendary underground venue in a small Belgian town and I decided to go. But I was by myself and feeling lonely again, waiting for the show to start, when I noticed a couple of guys and a girl speaking English in friendly Australian accents. I walked over and introduced myself, and we ended up hanging out the entire night while watching @ian_svenonius and the rest of The Make Up play one of the best shows I’ve ever seen in my life. ⚡️It was magical. Ian (the lead singer) stayed after the show and danced with everyone there, and when I missed the last train back to Brussels, my new friends let me sleep on the rollaway in their hotel room.
I ended up visiting the girl (@clairedollan) at her place in London a couple of weeks later and after I went home to the States, we became pen pals, sending letters and mix tapes and things we made for each other back and forth across the years. With kids and grown up lives our correspondence has slowed down, but we always know another letter will come. And in every one, there will be THE LIST, which is something Claire started in her very first letter to me.
So now that you know the backstory of THE LIST, here is my list for October 2018: * The way the mountains have turned red and gold and brown 🍁
* Homemade apple cake
* A Star is Born * Lars learning to read
* I Say a Little Prayer for You by Aretha Franklin
* Fresh Off the Boat TV show
* The way the air feels so crisp in the morning lately
* The Walt Disney biography by Neal Gabler
* My cozy new turtleneck sweatshirt by Bobo Choses
* Bjorn Borg, the photographer
What’s on YOUR list lately? 😊✨

Do you have any style icons? I have a soft spot for anyone from France and the 60’s, like Brigitte Bardot above. I’d love to hear yours! #sycamoreinspiration

Have any of you seen “A Star is Born” yet? ⭐️ What did you think of it? I loved it. It wasn’t perfect, but Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga were so believable, I loved watching the process of them fall in love and write songs... I loved their wood paneled canyon home. And I mean, who doesn’t love Sam Elliott? 😉 On the other hand, I also watched the 70’s version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson and it did not stand the test of time, I am sorry to say. 😱 Their Arizona ranch was pretty cool and Kristofferson did a good job, but it wasn’t Streisand’s best film and the music was not my favorite. (Sorry Babs! You know I love you! 😘) #sycamoreinspiration #astarisborn
