My gorgeous friend Debra and I visited Bergdorf Goodman to do some research for our respective jobs. (Really!) While we were there, I spotted a wild and crazy “motorcycle” jacket by Junya Watanabe: bright blue, ultra-cropped, belted under the bosom, with an explosion of ruffles on the shoulders. We spent a few minutes saying, “What…

My Customized Evelina Ring for Marian Kihogo
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,…
What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Peplum Dress, Again
Last week, gorgeous Mitria, who works at Fashion Group International, sent me one more photo from the January 26 Rising Star Awards. Here I am with jewelry designer and previous Rising Star winner Monica Rich Kosann, who presented me with my award. Monica was so sweet. After the lunch, she found me to give me…
I’m a Fashion Group International Rising Star Award Winner!
It was great to be a finalist for Fashion Group International‘s Rising Star Award for fine jewelry last year, but it was even better to win the 2012 award yesterday! The fact that gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy Lomman was also a finalist in the women’s ready-to-wear category this year was a bonus. I wouldn’t have been…
Jewel of the Month: Siobhan Ring With Mixed Metals
People often ask me if it’s okay to mix yellow and white metals. My answer? “Hell, yes!” I didn’t always have that mindset, though. I too grew up thinking jewelry had to be matchy-matchy. I don’t know where that fashion taboo against combining different-colored metals came from. One of the most famous jewelry designs in…
What Wendy Wore: Terrible Outfit Photo of the Day
Well, the outfit isn’t terrible … just the blurry photo is. It was too windy and cold out for a redo; I ran inside right after this. Whatever! If you want excellent jewelry, you’re on the right blog. If you want excellent outfit photography, go practically anywhere else. I have to pick my battles, and…
Join the Golden Girls Gang With a DVF Dress
Gorgeous food blogger and Golden Girls Gang OG Tina took time out from stalking moody rapper Joe Budden on Twitter to stalk gold dresses online. Okay, I’m the one who stalks Joe Budden but I like to pretend it’s Tina. Tina, however, really did alert me to this gold sequin Diane Von Furstenberg dress on…
On the Town: Seth MacFarlane, Common, Slaughterhouse
Due to holiday mayhem, I never blogged about the three nights I spent at Highline Ballroom last month, and I’ve got a picture you just have to see, so let’s catch up. The photo is not one of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. I’m a Family Guy fanatic, and when I read that MacFarlane would…
I’m a Fashion Group International Rising Star Finalist!
I’m thrilled to be a finalist for Fashion Group International‘s Rising Star Award in the fine jewelry category for the second year in a row. The finalists were announced yesterday in Women’s Wear Daily. Here is a scan of the article. Did you see that gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman is a finalist in the women’s…
What Wendy Wore in 2011
I’m not ready to get back to regular, non-holiday life. Also, I just realized that I didn’t do a “what I wore in 2011” wrap-up. So I’m going to fend off reality another day by doing that lazy-ass post. (Click the photos to go to the original posts.) Actually, we can make this exercise useful….
