Bows and Blogversary

July 22, 2008 by WendyB

Breaking bow news! This purse is the perfect accessory for any boob or butt bow.

Valentino clutch
$1,095 at Bergdorf Goodman

And this vintage Ungaro has a sweet waist bow.

$1500 at Vintage Couture

Separately, I am celebrating yet another anniversary, having started this blog a year ago today. I’ve done about 700 posts since then. I know, I need to get a life. Amusingly, in that first post, I said I didn’t expect to post much. Also, I seemed to think I was going to get my website done soon. How long did that take? Eight months? I don’t even want to check because I’ll get angry. Anyway! Thank you to In Yr Fshn for being my first commenter on July 26, 2007.

    Congrats on your one year anniversary! Blogging is just too addictive to go easy on, isn’t it?

    Ah, signature Valentino red. I’m glad his successor has managed to keep that trademark going.

    An addenum SVP!
    YELLOW BIRD wants to give you a big fat peck on the cheek (even if you don’t hire him as a jewelry model..ahem)
    CONGRATS!

    Congratulations on your first year!

  17. WendyB says

    July 23, 2008 at 5:52 am

    PB, I was laughing over the idea of Yellow Bird as a model and then I thought, hey wait, I should really take a picture of one of my pieces with him. I have to think of an upcoming piece that would be his style, and then I will have to hire him!

    I love bows! They remind me of being a little girl. Not just because all of my clothing and purses were completed littered with hearts and bows…but also because I used to admire all of the women on 80’s movies who were wearing fancy cocktail dresses that always featured big bows…

  19. CDP says

    July 23, 2008 at 7:11 am

    Happy Anniversary!
    700 posts in a year is impressive. Mine is coming, and I don’t know if I even have 200…I’ll have to check.

  21. The Clothes Horse says

    July 23, 2008 at 7:13 am

    Oooh, I want that clutch. How great would it be to pin it to your waist–it can be a bow belt meets a fanny pack!

  22. Aly-gator says

    July 23, 2008 at 7:17 am

    that purse is to die for, gawd that would look so perfect with a little white dress. http://www.thedailyalygator.blogspot.com

    Happy Blogiversary! I get so much pleasure out of reading your blog; please do continue working your ass off so I can enjoy the fruits of your labor, for free.

    Boo-YAH! Love the internet!

    But I do have my eye on that daggar necklace.

    I think it was your book club posts that sucked me in. So much information and so funny, too!

    Then the Coco posts kept me coming back.

    Happy blog anniversary!

  27. Ida says

    July 23, 2008 at 8:43 am

    Congrats, Wen! Time passes by far too quickly, no?

    That bow clutch is genius. Valentino never goes wrong.

  28. WendyB says

    July 23, 2008 at 8:45 am

    Thank you, Ambika. I was just mulling over posting that another book post will come … soon. I’m reading a lot of stuff simultaneously!

    Congratulations on all your anniversaries. I wish I’d been here since the beginning of the blog, but then again, you’d have had to put up with months more of my smart-alecky-ness.

    Anyway, thanks for bringing your brand of whip-smaht-ness to us all.

  30. Princess Poochie says

    July 23, 2008 at 9:54 am

    I didn’t know we started our blogs around the same time!

    You beat my post count Miss Prolific!

    July 23, 2008 at 10:52 am

    I admire how dedicated you are…even posting while you are traveling.
    I have a hard time with that because I don’t have a laptop.

    Trying to figure out how you get the stuff inside that bow bag…

  33. WendyB says

    July 23, 2008 at 10:54 am

    Iron Chic, I scheduled a lot of posts ahead of time in case I couldn’t get online. I WAS able to get online, but even if I hadn’t, there would have been a post a day.

  34. Miss Janey says

    July 23, 2008 at 11:04 am

    I cannot believe you are only a year old! You are very sophisticated for your age. Congratulations and thanks for all your wonderfully witty and wise posts — and comments. I’ve learned a lot from reading your blog about fashion, butt bows, fish feet and how to (attempt) to be a gorgeous blogger like Wendy B!
