What Wendy Wore: Vintage for a Birthday Dinner

December 23, 2014 by WendyB

It’s my birthday today and I do declare that the vintage Jacques Tiffeau dress I wore to dinner at the Four Seasons tonight might be as old as I am. I haven’t owned it my whole life, of course. I bought it in 2009 — from eBay, I think. What Wendy Wore Dress: Vintage Jacques…

More Photos From the Rising Star Awards

January 28, 2012 by WendyB

As promised, here are a few more photos from the Fashion Group International Rising Star Awards. My guests for the awards lunch, which was at the midtown Cipriani, were my husband, MrB; my father, GeorgeB; and my gorgeous client Christine. Christine is the client who ordered a special tiger ring and, not long after receiving…

The Bag I Didn’t Get and an Amusing Shopping Memory

August 31, 2011 by WendyB

Last week, I showed you the Louis Vuitton bag that MrB got me for our anniversary. Henry the dog helped me with the photo. The Louis Vuitton site has a picture of the bag’s other color scheme. I got my bag at the Vuitton store in Paris. We asked a saleswoman about it after seeing…

Louis Vuitton Goes to the (Adorable) Dogs

August 22, 2011 by WendyB

I’ve been dying over this fall’s fetish-y Louis Vuitton rain boots since I saw a photo of them in June. I’m also dying over the expression on the Japanese Chin in this Vuitton ad. S/he looks a little stunned, no? When I was in Paris last month, I went into the Vuitton store to see…

Spotted: My Birthday/Holiday Gift From MrB

January 6, 2011 by WendyB

Whenever I photograph a purse, I try to get one of the dogs to pose with it. The Prada bag that MrB surprised me with for my birthday/holiday gift last month is so big … … that it required the presence of both dogs! I was impressed that MrB was brave enough to manage another…

The Multiple Meanings of Lipstick and Language

December 15, 2010 by WendyB

Because I’m known for my love of red lipstick, many gorgeous friends emailed me in a congratulatory fashion after scientists at Manchester University announced that men (or at least the 50 men in their study) like to stare at women’s lipsticked mouths, with red lipstick holding their attention the longest. But staring isn’t the same…

What Wendy Wore: Double-Vintage Feather Dress

November 18, 2010 by WendyB

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: closet purges are overrated. My interest in vintage clothes led me to the anti-purge epiphany. If I am willing to pay a pretty penny to buy clothes that are 40 years old from a vintage dealer, why should I banish pieces that are a mere five,…

Outfit Post: Some Things Old, Some Things Blue

April 21, 2010 by WendyB

It took me nearly two years, but I finally wore the white lace Dolce & Gabbana coat that I bought from Trudie Styler (aka Mrs. Sting) thanks to some styling tips from gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman of taffetadarlings. In fact, I wore the coat two ways in one day. For our friends’ anniversary party at…

Jaded

August 8, 2008 by WendyB

I guess Henry is tired of posing with beautiful purses, because he couldn’t hold back a yawn despite the beauty of my new lace Prada bag. Thank you to MrB for taking my very subtle hint and getting me this lovely anniversary handbag. (Rest assured he did not pay that inflated eBay price!) Or maybe…

Black, White and Floral All Over

April 8, 2008 by WendyB

I like the Balenciaga “Floral City Classic,” now available at Barneys for $1595. You can’t get it online; it’s only available at the store. How old-fashioned! I have one Balenciaga bag in bubblegum pink. Here’s Henry wearing it. Doesn’t look too happy about this, does he? Getting back to black and white, I also like…
