If you’re involved in fashion in any way — blogger, designer, magazine editor — people often ask you to describe your personal style. I have a tough time answering that question. I don’t have one of those colorful, yet confusing, descriptions that all the real fashionistas seem to have on the tips of their tongues:…

Casting Call for Bloggers Wearing Wedge Sneakers
I’ve been looking for a pair of high-wedge sneakers for years. I tried on these sunny See by Chloe sneakers in 2009, but they didn’t fit. In 2010, I pondered this pair by Ash Shoes, but I wasn’t sure I loved them as much as the Chloes. I wound up with a pair of silver-sequin,…
What Wendy Wore: Neon-Pink Chris Benz to the Elly Awards
As I said in a recent post, I have worn neon-colored clothes since the 1980s. IF YOU MISSED MY HUFFINGTON POST PIECE ON NEON, CLICK HERE. When I saw this neon-pink-and-black Spring 2012 dress by designer Chris Benz last fall, I took a chance and ordered it. I don’t usually go for blousy tops, but…
What Wendy Wore: Ossie Clark for Mother’s Day
My grandmother on my mother’s side is named Ruth. She’s 93 years old. Her grandchildren call her “Nan” and her great-grandchildren call her “G.G.” for “great-grandma.” The family took her out for lunch for Mother’s Day. Nan’s husband, my grandfather Sam, died when I was 16. Sam’s sister was named Martha. Ruth’s brother was named…

What Wendy Wore: Watanabe Jacket, Stacy Lomman Vest
Last night, MrB and I went to an event hosted by The Weinstein Company, so I was inspired to wear the same Junya Watanabe jacket I wore to a Weinstein event in February. I am the anti-wardrobe-remixer. I got this jacket at Bergdorf Goodman. I was very excited to see it on Bergdorf’s homepage recently….
What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Dress, Zang Toi Jacket
MrB and I went to a dinner on Saturday. I was too tired from the excitement of getting FitzRoy on Friday to do much of a photo shoot. (This becoming a trend. I need to get more sleep.) This hallway snapshot is the best I could do. What Wendy Wore Dress: Stacy Lomman (2011. Last…
What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Dress, Vintage Coat
MrB and I went to a preview of the musical Leap of Faith on Broadway last week. The play is based on a 1992 movie, starring Steve Martin, about a con artist posing as a faith healer. In the play, the sex-ay Raúl Esparza plays phony preacher Jonas Nightingale, who travels from town to town…
What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Vest & Arm Warmers
The best way to predict the next big fashion trend is to remember my catchphrase: “Never is the next new thing™.” The styles that are most hated at first — the ones that make people say, “Never!” — are the ones that are hottest once our eyes adjust. Since I figured this out, whenever I…
Spartacus, Madonna, Aging Disgracefully and YOLO Rings
I hardly knew what to do with myself last night now that the Starz television show Spartacus is over for the season. Gorgeous blogger/designer/neighbor Stacy Lomman came over every Friday so we could drink pink Champagne while watching Romans and their slaves being killed in ingenious ways. (That guy who got his face cut off?…
