This is my lucky day because the famous “distracted boyfriend” meme of 2017 has been given the Henry VIII treatment … this meme has finally been perfected pic.twitter.com/9fHfJH1Q01 — julien (@eggsandbread) January 24, 2018 … just in time for my Henry VIII/Anne Boleyn-themed pet video.

Wednesday’s Video: Get the FACTS
I collect a lot of things — vintage clothes, squish-faced animals, dust — but baseball caps are not on the list. I’m not very sporty, to say the least. In fact, I can’t remember ever noticing a baseball cap until late last year, when I saw a guy wearing a snapback embroidered with the word…
Jewelry for My Imaginary Golden Globes Outfit
Yesterday, I showed you the two outfits I would have chosen between if I’d had gone to the Golden Globes last Sunday. Here’s a closer look at the jewelry I would have worn with either outfit — all my own designs, of course. (I had to raid the vault for this little photo shoot!) From…
Wednesday’s Video: The Golden Globes and Your Vote
I think I should be invited to all major red-carpet events just to prove that I can shop my closet for every occasion! Like on Sunday, when I was watching the Golden Globes, I thought of two outfits immediately. The dress code called for black, and I’ve been in a pantsuit kind of mood, so…

What Wendy Wore: Iceland Exploration
As I mentioned in this post, I spent New Year’s in Reykjavik, Iceland, with friends. I normally celebrate my birthday with family on the actual day (December 23) and then have a combined New Year’s Eve/birthday celebration with friends. However, this year — as you may recall — was a big birthday. I started contemplating…

New Year’s Greetings From Iceland
Happy New Year! I am in Reykjavík, Iceland, continuing my big birthday celebration with MrB and a few friends. I wouldn’t normally choose to wear snow boots with this fringed, suede skirt … A post shared by Wendy Brandes (@wendybrandes) on Dec 31, 2017 at 5:50pm PST … but I didn’t mind sacrificing style for…
Slow-Fashion Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2017
To bring 2017 to a close, I’m taking a look back at 12 “What Wendy Wore” highlights, with an emphasis on slow fashion. Click the photos for the original posts. January began with all gold everything, as I rang in 2017 in a gold gown first worn in 2004. This time, I added a crown….
Throwback Thursday: Eryn Wearing Something Borrowed
My right-hand woman Eryn got engaged in this February and married in September. I previously mentioned that Eryn had her eyes on my opal lariat necklace for her big “something borrowed” jewelry, but wound up selecting a different design. Here’s a belated photo of her mom helping her with my one-of-a-kind Selene moonstone necklace. When…
