I’m a Fashion Group International Rising Star Finalist!

January 4, 2012 by WendyB

I’m thrilled to be a finalist for Fashion Group International‘s Rising Star Award in the fine jewelry category for the second year in a row. The finalists were announced yesterday in Women’s Wear Daily. Here is a scan of the article. Did you see that gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman is a finalist in the women’s…

What Wendy Wore in 2011

January 3, 2012 by WendyB

I’m not ready to get back to regular, non-holiday life. Also, I just realized that I didn’t do a “what I wore in 2011” wrap-up. So I’m going to fend off reality another day by doing that lazy-ass post. (Click the photos to go to the original posts.) Actually, we can make this exercise useful….

What Wendy Wore: Gold Sequins for New Year’s Eve 2012

January 1, 2012 by WendyB

The color gold was on my mind as I got ready for New Year’s Eve. Much to my delight, it was on other people’s minds too. MrB and I gave gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman a ride to our dinner at Indochine. When Stacy turned up at our apartment wearing gold sequins that matched mine, I…

What Wendy Wore: Thanksgiving and a Birthday

November 29, 2011 by WendyB

Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday. There’s too much food and football, and a dearth of costumes, confetti and candy dioramas. I was happy to shake things up by going to a restaurant instead of having dinner at home. So happy, in fact, that I celebrated by wearing something other than my jeans-and-t-shirt uniform. What…

After all, I already did three posts: What Wendy Wore Giving Thanks for Press Freedom Pretty People at the CPJ Dinner But I have to do one more because a photo of me chatting with the lovely Thelma Kandel wound up on…

Pretty People at the CPJ Dinner

November 25, 2011 by WendyB

So much happened at Tuesday’s International Press Freedom Awards Dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists, that it has taken me three posts to cover it. My first post was about the vintage gown I wore. The second post was about CPJ’s mission and the dinner’s awardees. Now it’s back to the lighthearted stuff: party…

Giving Thanks for Press Freedom

November 24, 2011 by WendyB

Yesterday’s post was about what I wore to the annual International Press Freedom Awards Dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists. As I said, the dinner honors journalists from around the world who risk their lives to report from war zones and in defiance of brutal regimes. It also raises money for CPJ’s activities: denouncing…

The dinner honors journalists from around the world who risk their lives to report from war zones and in defiance of brutal regimes. On its website, CPJ explains what…

What Wendy Wore: Kid Rock at the Beacon Theatre

November 21, 2011 by WendyB

Ever since I dressed to the teeth for two Lady Gaga concerts last year, I feel kind of naked going to musical events in my everyday jeans and black t-shirt. At a recent Kanye West/Jay-Z concert, Kanye totally outdressed me by wearing a leather skirt over pants, so I was happy to see that Kid…
