Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of Sex and the City‘s debut on HBO, and there are tributes and think pieces everywhere. This isn’t one of them, because when it comes to SATC, my heart belongs not to the original television series but to 2010’s Sex and the City 2 movie. SATC 2 was widely panned,…

Jewels of the Month: Single Earrings, Cleopatra Style
Now that the red-carpet crowd is catching on to my single-earring obsession, it’s time to officially offer a statement-earring companion to all my single studs. January’s Jewels of the Month are my shoulder-brushing single Cleopatra earrings in silver, or in 18K yellow gold with diamonds. Last August, I suggested wearing one of my 4 1/2″…
Valentine’s Day Countdown, Day 13: Earrings Fit for a Queen

Wendy Brandes Hashtag Ring on Gangsta Boo
When gorgeous rapper Gangsta Boo tweeted a video tease of her upcoming project, I got a pleasant surprise. There’s a nice clear shot of my hashtag ring at 32 seconds!

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.

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…

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….
