Wish List: Tom Ford for Gucci Dress From 2003 (NSFW)
Tom Ford’s kimono-inspired Spring/Summer 2003 collection for Gucci was so sex-ay! I always wanted one of the printed mini dresses. In case you’re looking for a gift for me, one of the dresses has turned up on 1stdibs.com. The cut-out back reminds me of back of the Fiorucci dress I loved so much in the…
Throwback Thursday: Pool Party Style
I hope you’re all having a wonderful summer day, complete with everything I loved about summer in the 1980s: pool floats, snake-patterned bathing suits and teased-up hair. Well, maybe not the teased-up hair. That never went well with pools.
Jewel of the Month: The Chicken on Nest Necklace Is Back
My Chicken on Nest necklace has been Jewel of the Month before. You might remember the smaller-than-a-dime, sterling-silver chicken … … that opened up to reveal three gold-plated eggs. If you’ve always wondered, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” I have the answer. My egg locket came first, inspired by a work I…
Madonna, 10 Years Ago Today
Ten years ago today, I was going to Madonna’s Re-Invention tour at Continental Arena in New Jersey. Continental Arena is now called the Izod Center. But, to me, it will always be the Brendan Byrne Arena, where I went to my first concert (Journey!) in 1982. I had already seen Madonna at Madison Square Garden…
What Wendy Wore: Next Season’s Earrings … Big Hoops
I’ve been loving the ear jewelry that’s emerged in the past year. There are so many options! But the trend that’s (thankfully) replaced the statement necklace started, as many trends do, quite slowly. Miley Cyrus flaunted her ear cuffs in 2012, when she cut her hair short. But Miley’s style is risky — her short…
Weeks in Review: June Into July
In case you missed anything on the blog recently, here’s what I wrote since my last “Week in Review” post. There’s a lot! Monday, June 9: Middle finger emoji earrings for everyone! Tuesday, June 10: Heaven Has Heels asks for my desert-island list. Wednesday, June 11: Who wore the horns best? and RIP to a…
What We Wore: Independence Day Colors
MrB and I had a 4th of July dinner with our designing friend Zang Toi last night. Zang and I made a nice red, white and blue pair. Zang wore one of his trademark, self-designed mini-kilts. (I love those shoes he wears with them; I’m noticing a lot of menswear looks in women’s shoes for…
For My U.S. Readers …

Throwback Thursday: Red, White & Blue Outfits for Holidays
It’s July 4th tomorrow, so I have some red, white and blue styles from years past for Throwback Thursday. The Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sailor outfit I got in Paris in 2010 always works for a patriotic holiday. The first time I wore it was in Mallorca — not for the 4th, just for fun. In…
