The best thing about having this blog has been meeting or corresponding with new people*, who have included other bloggers, the inventor of Bumpe the Swedish Bull and a fabulous hair/clothing designer. This weekend, I was thrilled to bits to get an email from adorable ’90s designer Christian Francis Roth. I’ve written about him twice:…
About Wendy
Ossie Clark Goes to Dinner
I always figured there was no chance any of you fashion bloggers would rub off on me. I was pretty sure I didn’t have the creativity required to put together your unusual color combinations, create your amazing layered outfits or turn a skirt into a stole a la Little Edie Beale. And I was right!…
Out to Dinner Outfit
I’ve been trying to break my jeans-and-t-shirt-and-lots-of-jewelry habit, so this is what I wore to dinner at Landmarc restaurant last night. That’s my Alexander McQueen sweater and skirt from 2004 with Henry’s new Prada bag. I can’t seem to get the hang of Photoshop (the shame!) so I couldn’t fit in the shoes — the…
Any Friend of Andy’s Is a Friend of Mine
I sneaked off to Miami for the weekend, where Paul and I had dinner with our brilliant friend Andy Tobias. Andy has a blog and was kind enough to mention me in the same breath as Warren Buffett and the late William Buckley Jr. I assure you that Andy and I are both aware of…
Imagine a Resemblance
WendyB John Lennon I really like my round Lennon-esque sunglasses. But I’m not a big fan of Lennon’s “Imagine.” I think he dealt with similar issues in a more powerful way in “God.” That’s probably my favorite solo Lennon work, though listening to it makes me sad because the lyric “The dream is over” was…
A Basic Wardrobe, Part II
It’s time to get back to basics. Wardrobe basics. Here is the post I did about my old wardrobe basics. My everyday essentials are red lipstick, heels (or high wedges) and jewelry. For the past year or so, my favorite lipstick has been MAC’s Pro Longwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust. It is the!perfect!red! I recommended…
Oscars 2008: Best Dress and Jewelry
The best outfits on the Oscars were from the archives: Cher’s Bob Mackie extravaganzas and Barbra Streisand’s Arnold Scaasi peekaboo pantsuit. Embed from Getty Images As I’ve said before, I don’t care for the self-appointed fashion police. They persecute anyone who does something a little different, only to cry buckets when people play it safe….
Biba Dress and Matching Leggings
I kind of like this. Maybe it’s just because I have suits on my mind. It’s a suit in a way, isn’t it? It’s available for 81 pounds, down from 162 pounds, on my-wardrobe.com. After all my suit talk, I decided to wear one of my old ones to a semi-serious event I had last…
A Basic Wardrobe, Part I
Gorgeous blogger K-Line tagged me to answer the question: “What is a basic wardrobe to you?” I put off writing my reply for a couple of days because I’m (a) a big procrastinator and (b) unhappy with my basic wardrobe. I am in mourning for my old wardrobe. Since I left the corporate world in…
Adventures in Arizona, Part II
As I started telling you, I spent last weekend at the Tucson Gem Show before visiting the beauteous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan in Phoenix. I bought a few great stones, but I never tell people about the pieces I’m working on until they’re finished, so you’ll have to wait! My husband came along. He…
