Throwback Thursday: Miley Cyrus Wearing My Ring

August 21, 2014 by WendyB

I had forgotten this until I wrote about my Victoria buckle ring recently: In 2009, Miley Cyrus borrowed that ring for appearances she was making to promote her Hannah Montana movie. You can see it on her index finger in this photo. #86043282 / gettyimages.com That ring would be even more appropriate for her now….

Concert Adventure, Part I: Waiting for the Monster Tour

August 19, 2014 by WendyB

In March, when Rihanna and Eminem announced the dates for their joint, three-city Monster Tour, I wasn’t sure what tickets to get.  It would be practical to get seated tickets, but in huge venues like New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, which has over 80,000 seats, even the best seats are fairly far away from the stage….

Wanderlust 2014: My First, But Not Last, Trip to Greece

August 13, 2014 by WendyB

While traveling in Europe last month, I did some things that I’d wanted to do for decades. I visited Liverpool, which I first dreamed of doing in 1980. I’m glad Mark Lewisohn, the author of Tune In, the 2013 book about the Beatles that prompted me to finally take the trip, saw that I credited…

Wanderlust 2014: Anne Boleyn and Eminem in London

August 12, 2014 by WendyB

MrB and I love London. We’ve gone there every year since 2008 to visit our many friends who live in the city or close to it. In particular, I like to meet up with gorgeous bloggers and drink Pimm’s.  Here are my previous London posts. 2013: Pimm’s fest and a strange trench coat. 2012: Fish…

Wanderlust 2014: I Tuned In to Liverpool

August 11, 2014 by WendyB

Back in 1980, I got a fever and the only prescription was John, Paul, George and Ringo. Since then, I’ve wanted to go to Liverpool, the Fab Four’s hometown. It’s difficult to schedule a trip to Liverpool though. It doesn’t top most non-Beatlemaniac vacation lists, so every year, I’ve told myself, “Maybe next year.” Then…

Throwback Thursday: Marie France Dress in 2014 and 2006

August 7, 2014 by WendyB

Our gorgeous friend Jolie Hunt invited me and MrB to the launch party for her marketing and communications firm, Hunt & Gather, earlier this week. (Is that a great company name, or what?) The event was on a former Navy ship named the Baylander, which was docked at Pier 5 in Brooklyn for the night….

What Wendy Wore: Vintage at Ouest

August 5, 2014 by WendyB

MrB and I recently had dinner with friends at Ouest, a good restaurant on the Upper West Side. If you’re in New York City, I recommend that you check it out. It’s not too formal; you can definitely wear jeans. However, I dressed up a little bit, just because it was one of those days…

For Doors Stans: Pamela Courson’s Mother Has Died

August 3, 2014 by WendyB

I like to look over the obituaries in the print edition of the New York Times — there are a lot of interesting stories there. Today, I couldn’t help noticing this beautiful face in the paid death notices section. Figuring this lady had to have been an actress, I glanced at the information: died aged…

What Wendy Wore: Wigless at Katy Perry

August 1, 2014 by WendyB

As I previously mentioned, I went to Katy Perry’s concert at Barclays Center last week. I had a rough day so I threw on whatever was at hand/on the floor. When I got to the venue, I was disappointed that I hadn’t come up with a concert costume, or at least a pink or blue…

What Wendy Wore: Ossie Clark and Chains at WJA

July 30, 2014 by WendyB

As I mentioned, the Women’s Jewelry Association Gala took place Monday night at Pier 60 in New York. The WJA describes itself as “a networking organization dedicated to enriching and advancing the professional lives of the women in the jewelry and watch industries.” I call it a great opportunity for me to meet up with…
