So my December issue of Cookie arrived yesterday with the stunning Brooke Shields and her gorgeous girlies on the cover. All three ladies are decked out for the season throughout the spread inside -- which is paired with Brooke's insights on motherhood and its meaning for her. Having read her incomparable Down Came the Rain, which so candidly described her harrowing experience with post-partum depression, the article was particularly heartwarming to me.

On a far more superficial level, within the piece, Ms. Shields is wearing gowns galore, one of which in particular caught my attention.
A quick foray over to
designer Robert Danes' site revealed this little number in holiday green...

Think I know how I'll be decked in the halls this December!
Fa, la, la, la, la...la, la, la, la!

PS - Don't you think
this cuff would be lovely with it?
