I hit the town for Fashion’s Night Out last night wearing my capitalism-promoting dollar dress and accompanied by hawt bloggers Jennine of The Coveted and Alyssa, Kathy and Vyque of Fasshonaburu. We ran away from the teeming masses fighting to get into Bergdorf Goodman, wandered through Astroturf inside Prada’s 5th Avenue store, and wound up…
What Wendy Wore: Word Up! at IFB
I’m at the Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence conference, doing the backstage interviews with the featured speakers. So far, I’ve chatted with Mattias Swenson of Bloglovin’, Phil Oh of Street Peeper, Yuri Lee of Lookbook.nu and Gala Darling. You’ll get to check it all out on video soonish. In the meantime, I told you I…
What Wendy Wore: FNO: The Show
I went to Lincoln Center last night for FNO: The Show, the ginormous, star-studded outdoor fashion show (Gisele! Naomi!) intended to get people jazzed to shop on Fashion’s Night Out this Friday. At first I was sad that I was inside Alice Tully Hall viewing the livestream of the event (courtesy of American Express) rather…
OMG! Get Smart (About Quantity)
There are only five days left to pre-order my new OMG, LOLZ and NYC rings (with free shipping) via Kickstarter! CLICK HERE TO ORDER! The great thing about my rings is that they give you that cool knuckle-duster look without paralyzing your fingers. You can even type in them. I’m wearing the OMG set while…
What Wendy Didn’t Wear: A Smile, a Skirt, a Smiling Skirt
According to the calendar, there are two weeks of summer left, but we all know that Labor Day weekend is when the season really ends. I figured I’d go to the beach and hide my depression about the coming cold months and shorter days with the help of a smiling Castelbajac skirt I got in…
Who Says You Can’t Buy Style?
Designer Jeremy Scott says you can! The dress says “Fashion” on the back. You can follow Jeremy Scott on Twitter here.
What Wendy Will Wear: Dress by Zang Toi
What timing! Right after my post about how sample sizes, by definition, don’t fit the vast majority of people right off the rack, Tia from The Quest for “it” posted about the sample sale I had with my designing friend Zang Toi last month. Conveniently, she took a picture of Zang personally altering a red-cashmere…
One Sample Size Does Not Fit All. Deal With It.
Did you know the world revolved around voluptuous Mad Men star Christina Hendricks? Neither did I! Fortunately, I read New York Magazine’s The Cut blog, which alerted me to the fact via a story about Hendricks that ran in the The Daily Record of Scotland. The Record quoted her as saying: “People have been saying…
Change of Taste
Baskin-Robbins brought back my favorite ’70s ice-cream flavor, Pink Bubblegum, for the month of August. My goal this weekend was to get a scoop before it was too late. That is one craving I will never have again. Did this stuff always taste so bad? Damn! I still ate the whole scoop even though I…
Blogs, Brands, Bullshizz
The front-page story in WWD today is “Advertisers Go Social: Brand-Blogger Linkups Marketings’ New Rage.” Gorgeous blogger Jennine (of The Coveted and Independent Fashion Bloggers) is quoted extensively in the article. I’m glad the story highlighted Jennine’s “IFB Fair Compensation Manifesto” and her criticism of the Coach Poppy ad campaign, in which 334 bloggers were…
