If There’s a Blackout, Blame FitzRoy for Pulling the Plug

April 9, 2013 by WendyB

I’ve already posted these pictures on a couple of my social-media outlets, but they’re so good I have to share them again here.  Gorgeous blogger/designer/stylist Stacy Lomman took this picture of FitzRoy the cat. I immediately saw a similarity to one of the best characters in one of the best movies of all time ……

Customer of the Day: Lauren DeLost and Her Jewelry

April 6, 2013 by WendyB

Gorgeous client Lauren recently bought my bunny stud earrings and my silver fleur de lis Madame Royale necklace … and got BOTH designs in one photo. Well done, Lauren! I asked Lauren to tell us a little bit about herself and here’s what she had to say: “Hello! My name is Lauren Delost. I’m currently…

Throwback Thursday: Polaroid, Sweatshirt and Puppy From 1982

April 4, 2013 by WendyB

Here’s a really old photo — a Polaroid, in fact — for Throwback Thursday. I had recently turned 14 in this picture from 1982. As you can tell from the name of my Shih Tzu puppy, my love for the Beatles was in full effect. (Even though Paul was my favorite Beatle, the dog was…

“Any Way You Want It” Jewelry

April 3, 2013 by WendyB

The first concert I ever went to was Journey. The show was at what was then called the Brendan Byrne Arena in New Jersey. I’m wondering if it was one of the Journey concerts I see listed for that venue for May 1983, which would have made me 15. Is that an advanced age for a concert…

A Shoe Worthy of April Fools’ Day; You’ll Be Trippin’!

April 1, 2013 by WendyB

You know when you’re shopping for clothes or shoes and you see something awesome but then you think, “If I got that, I’d need a whole new wardrobe to go with it”? Well, because I’m a helpful person, I have a list of accessories that you’ll require if you’re considering buying these Jeffrey Campbell shoes…

In Concert in NYC: Anya Marina, Tristan Prettyman and Pink

March 29, 2013 by WendyB

Earlier this month, Lindsay Lohan — the once-promising actress and former customer of mine who is now best known as a death-pool perennial — avoided a stint in jail by agreeing to spend 90 days in rehab.  When the news came out, I immediately thought of singers Tristan Prettyman and Anya Marina, who have a…

What Wendy Wore: Out and About in Los Angeles

March 1, 2013 by WendyB

We’re heading back to New York today, though I wish I could stay a few more days in Los Angeles, just to go to the movies if nothing else. I finally saw Django Unchained and Life of Pi while we were out here, because they were playing at the fabulous Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. In…

My Best Dressed at the Oscars: Naomi Watts

February 24, 2013 by WendyB

I saw lots of very lovely, appropriate dresses on the Oscar red carpet tonight. (I’ll include Anne Hathaway, whose “nipples” are actually — I think — darts in her Prada dress.) Like the Golden Globes, there was nothing crazy enough to warrant one of my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo awards; Helena Bonham…

What Wendy Wore: The Weinstein Company Pre-Oscar Party

February 24, 2013 by WendyB

I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay. I’ve already lurked seductively behind George Clooney on the Oscar red carpet once in my life — who could ask for anything more? Last night was The Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar part at Soho House. Dorothy Pomerantz, writing…

Tiffany Taylor, She’s What You Want Her to Be

February 23, 2013 by WendyB

It strikes with no warning. Every so often, I wake up with the jingle for the 1970s Tiffany Taylor doll stuck in my head. Tiffany’s gimmick was a rotating scalp with dual hair colors. White Tiffany could be changed from blonde to brunette; African-American Tiffany switched between auburn and black. These dolls were produced by…
