Slay Like Beyoncé With My New SLAY Studs

Slay Like Beyoncé With My New SLAY Studs

Do you follow me on Instagram? If not, you should, because that’s where you might get a chance to pre-order my newest designs or get an early shot at a sale. For instance, I gave a sneak peek of my new SLAY stud earrings on IG last month … … and the first order has…

What Wendy Wore: The 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

What Wendy Wore: The 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

If you heard a piercing scream when Spotlight won Best Picture at last night’s Oscars … that was me. I had practically given up hope because MrB kept saying, “Oh, The Revenant is going to win.” I was also jumping up and down over Mad Max‘s six awards (I thought it deserved Best Director too). …

What Wendy Wore: Spotlight’s Marty Baron at Spectator

What Wendy Wore: Spotlight’s Marty Baron at Spectator

I’m watching the Oscars now, hoping that Spotlight will win all six of its categories, including Best Picture. Not only was it an excellent movie about investigative journalism, but one of the real-life people portrayed in the movie is someone I’ve known for a long time! That person is Marty Baron, who was played very…

Throwback Thursday: King Kong’s 2005 Times Square Premiere

Throwback Thursday: King Kong’s 2005 Times Square Premiere

Ten years and five days ago, MrB and I attended the big Times Square premiere of the latest King Kong remake. That’s the one that starred Jack Black, Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody. The invitation called for festive attire, so I chose a vintage Ossie Clark dress with a Celia Birtwell print. In my first…

Thinking of Blazing Saddles at Bergdorf Goodman

Thinking of Blazing Saddles at Bergdorf Goodman

I visited a friend who works at Bergdorf Goodman (one of my favorite stores!) and had some time to kill while she finished up a dress fitting. Libertine designer Johnson Hartig had been in the store last week for a trunk show and the clothes were still there.  I’ve always been interested in the line,…

Arabian Prince on the Huffington Post

Arabian Prince on the Huffington Post

Straight Outta Compton, the authorized biopic of the rap group N.W.A, was the unexpected hit movie of the summer. It tells the story of the five guys — Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella — who shocked the country with songs like “Fuck tha Police.” Five guys. But wait! Look at…

What Wendy Wore: Sequins for “99 Homes” Screening

What Wendy Wore: Sequins for “99 Homes” Screening

I spent 10 years in business journalism, and the gyrations of the stock market are more than enough to bring back the memories, thank you very much. I wouldn’t normally seek out a movie related to the post-housing-bubble foreclosure crisis, but I’m glad MrB and I caught a screening of 99 Homes last week. I…

What Wendy Wore: Southpaw Premiere

What Wendy Wore: Southpaw Premiere

People say that every boxing movie has the same plot and maybe that’s true (except for Million Dollar Baby, because the hero normally doesn’t get killed by adrenaline injection), but it doesn’t mean a movie can’t excel within that range. I was blown away by the Southpaw premiere last night, as was everyone around me…

Throwback Thursday: Mary Ellen Mark and Tiny

Photographer Mary Ellen Mark died in Manhattan on Monday at age 75. She had myelodysplastic syndrome, a disease that affects bone marrow and blood. Mark did everything from documentary photography to fashion photography and ad campaigns, but her best-known project was about homeless teens in Seattle.  It began as a 1983 LIFE magazine photo essay,…
