Celebrities Wear WendyB and Francis

by

I’m finally starting to see the results of my plan to take over the world: two hot celebrities are wearing WendyB-approved items this week.

The first is Alexa Chung, the MTV It Girl who makes all the fashion bloggers’ hearts go pitter patter. She’s wearing the Matilda sword necklace from my jewelry line on page 79 of the September 2009 issue of Marie Claire. Woot! Marie Claire kindly put this feature online. Click the photo to see the whole thing.

If you haven’t read my Book Club posts on Empress Matilda, the inspiration for the necklace and one of my all-time favorite royal ladies, here they are.

(Yes, yes, the Book Club posts will return. I’m working on it. I swear.)

Thanks to the gorgeous bloggers who posted about the Marie Claire credit, including Susanna, Jillian and Geri. If I haven’t mentioned you, it’s because I haven’t seen it yet! Holla at me and let me know.

The second celebrity is my personal friend Jen Weitzman, who wrote about the Francis dress I helped her pick out.*

Heeeeere's Jen!

Jen doesn’t have a TV show, but all of my friends and clients are gorgeous A-list celebrities to me, and I will cut a bitch who dares to say otherwise. I’ve got a Matilda sword necklace and I’m not afraid to use it.

  3. You know what I love about you Wendy? You are not above threatening violence to get your point across. I admire that in a person.

  4. That necklace is beautiful. One day it shall be mine. (You’re not the only one with world domination plans around here.)

  8. So proud of you chickie!! Great things happen to Awesome people…more to come for sure and I cant wait!

    (ps – spam word was goddess again lol)

  9. Wendy, you are so amazing! Congrats on the well deserved success. The necklace is fab and looks great on Alexa! Kudos!

    xo, Becs

  12. It’s great to see Alexa in your designs. I find her quite annoying to watch on TV but you can’t deny she’s got style.

  13. Go Ahead Wendy!! Congrats! I don’t know why i wanted to launch into “Moving on up, to the Eastside, to a deluxe appartment in the skyyyyyeee….” lol

  18. Firstly, congratulations on Marie Claire, the necklace is gorgeous.
    Secondly, how subject-appropriate that the anti spam word i just had to type in to post a comment on your blog was ‘bejewel’!

  23. I finally got the chance to go back and read your Book Club posts on Matilda. And I have to say I LOVED ‘EM! Now I need to add to my reading list “When Christ and his Saints slept” Of course I’ll mentally change the name in the whole book 😉

    I have the Sunne in Splendour, Falls the Shadow and The Reckoning and only just read them this past winter.

  25. I don’t know what the big deal is about that alexa chung. but sooooo happy for you! that necklace is my favorite one of yours by far.

  29. I’m noticing the two gorgeous women are holding their hands very similarly. They both must know a thing or two about striking a pose.

  32. Woah pretty cool news!! I don’t know what all the hype about Alexa Chung is, she looks pretty ordinary to me but it’s uberly cool that famous people are wearing your designs!

  34. Awesome Wendy! You ROCK like a star! I follow you on Twitter (@MissPrincessDom) and I love love love when you said: Wendy thinks some retailers are suicidal. Bad customer service + no effort to promote designers = see you at your going-out-of-business sale. Can you say it again, put it on tees and make a bumper sticker?!?!

  35. last night, reading Marie Claire:

    Me: “WENDY B! Oh, look Nathan!~ It’s Wendy B!”
    Nathan: “That’s that Chung girl”
    Me: “No, here…WENDY B!”
    Nathan: “OK….”

    AHAHAHA. I was so excited for you. I then had to explain that no, it was not the first time you had been in a magazine,I just get really excited over bloggers.
