What Wendy Wore: Valentine’s Day Flashback

March 4, 2012 by WendyB

NOTE TO YELAWOLF FANS: Scroll to the bottom for the Yelawolf health news. Then scroll up a bit for a cute picture of Gangsta Boo and Speakerfoxxx.

What Wendy Wore: Watanabe to the Weinstein Party

February 26, 2012 by WendyB

Remember that crazy Junya Watanabe jacket I tried on at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week? I bought it, of course, and wore it to the Weinstein Company pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles last night.

What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi’s Fall 2012 Show

February 24, 2012 by WendyB

My designing friend Zang Toi‘s lucky number is 13, so he schedules his runway shows for the thirteenth of the month whenever he can. Sure enough, he showed his black, white and red Gstaad-inspired collection at Lincoln Center on February 13 in the early afternoon. When this gown — which reminded me of a hanbok…

Seen at Bergdorfs: Crazy Junya Watanabe Jacket

February 23, 2012 by WendyB

My gorgeous friend Debra and I visited Bergdorf Goodman to do some research for our respective jobs. (Really!)

We spent a few minutes saying, “What…

February 22, 2012 by WendyB

While texting with a lovelorn friend yesterday, I realized that designing jewelry has taught me three things that straight women need to know about bad relationships. I preserved my texts for your amusement/edification. They’re below along with my elaborations. 1. Even precious things are replaceable. Okay, that was a little bit of textual exaggeration. Not…

What to Say When You Didn’t Get the Memo

February 21, 2012 by WendyB

If you find yourself wildly out of step with the dress code, remember what Noël Coward said upon arriving at a party wearing an ordinary suit, only to discover all the other men wearing white tie and tails: “Please, I don’t want anyone to apologize for overdressing.” You’re welcome, Hillary Clinton!

My Customized Evelina Ring for Marian Kihogo

February 20, 2012 by WendyB

I’m doing some collaborating with gorgeous London blogger Marian Kihogo and her model friend Tolula. I’ve loved Marian’s style for a long time. Her pattern-mixing, fondness for bright colors (especially in lipstick!), and trademark turban make her stand out, as does her height — she’s 6’1″ without shoes! Marian wears a lot of chunky rings,…
