I recently caught 1985’s Desperately Seeking Susan on television and was impressed by how well it held up. Seeing the movie again made me intensely nostalgic for the era’s dirtier, more creative, less fast-fashion downtown New York, which the Wall Street Journal calls “the film’s uncredited co-star, alongside Rosanna Arquette and Madonna.” I was obsessed…

Having a Samantha Moment in a Stacy Lomman Dress
As I said in yesterday’s post, I got together with gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted last week so she could photograph and interview me for her denim blog, Eat, Sleep, Denim. While we were at it, I wanted to get a picture of a dress made for me by gorgeous blogger/clothing designer Stacy Lomman…
Watch Me Wear This One
Before I started dating the gorgeous MrB in 1998 (thanks to the intervention of my late dog, Mr. Chubbs), I’d barely worn jewelry in years. Once in a blue moon, I’d wear a sapphire ring my parents got me for my 16th birthday, and I got a chunky silver ring during a trip to Dublin…
What Wendy Wore: Christopher Cross & a Cougar
Remember how I asked you to guess whether or not I got the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sailor outfit? It was a trick question! I got a navy blue version of the white pants I was wearing in the picture and a different nautical-themed top. So, yes, I got a head-to-toe outfit, but it wasn’t the…
What Wendy Wore: California Three-Peat
While I was packing for last week’s trip to Los Angeles, I remembered that I had unintentionally worn the same outfit and posed in the exact same location on L.A. visits in March 2008 and December 2008. This called for a three-peat, so I packed my Black Halo top, black Acne jeans, 16-year-old Karl Lagerfeld…
Sex and the International Cities
I love that gorgeous bloggers around the world are taking pictures of Samantha (Kim Cattrall) wearing my Cleopatra earrings on screen during Sex and the City 2! That said, I discourage you from doing this without permission because people are very uptight about movie piracy. If someone thinks you’re recording the whole movie, your ass…
On the Town Epic Post: Celebrating Sex and the City 2
In case you’re new to this blog and haven’t read the TEN MILLION posts I’ve done on this topic … guess what?! My Cleopatra earrings are worn by Samantha (Kim Cattrall) in Sex and the City 2! I wanted to see the movie on opening night. At first, I thought MrB and I would have…
On the Town: My Sex and the City 2 Peeps
Thank you to the gorgeous friends and family members who came out to see Sex and the City 2 on its premiere night at New York’s fabulous Ziegfeld Theater. When our group cheered out loud at the appearance of my earrings on Kim Cattrall’s lobes, I nearly burst with happiness. If you look closely at…
Congratulations, SATC2 Polyvore Contest Winners!
Thank you to everyone who entered the Polyvore contest for my Sex and the City 2 earrings. I loved all the entries so much that I cracked under the stress, thought I was on American Idol and developed multiple-personality judging disorder. First, I got hostile like Simon Cowell. Then I got delirious like Paula Abdul….
Sex and the City 2 Earrings in the New York Times
My 4 1/2″-long Cleopatra earrings — worn by Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha in Sex and the City 2 — are in the Thursday Styles section of the New York Times today! If you get the paper version of the newspaper, go to Stephanie Rosenbloom’s Scavenger column on page E3. If you’re online only, click here….
