Quick Draw McGraw
On Monday, gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy of taffetadarlings was over at my place cutting patterns for her new dress designs while I put price tags on my jewelry ahead of my sample sale. (You can still contribute money to Stacy’s September fashion show via Kickstarter; lots of expenses need to be covered. Lighting is big bucks,…
Jewels of the Month: New Swear Rings for Pre-Order
Due to popular demand, I’ve created two new swear-ring sets. The “OMG” and “LOLZ” rings are August’s Jewels of the Month and you can pre-order them for fall delivery now. Just like my original “F@#!” swear rings and their asterisk sidekick, the new rings are solid sterling silver — these aren’t bubblegum-machine rings that are…
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…

Adventures in Engagement Ring Redesigning
I do a lot of custom work in my jewelry business. A customer comes to me with an idea and I make it a reality. Sometimes I create a piece from scratch, like I did with these dog cufflinks. Other times, customers come to me with old jewelry that they don’t wear anymore and I…
What Wendy Wore: American Bloggers in Paris
One good thing about the French scaring me half to death with their traditional Bastille Day flyover was discovering gorgeous blogger Claire from The Fashion Bomb via Twitter, where she, like me, was bitching about having a 9/11-type fright. Turns out Claire is a Hotlanta-native-turned-New-Yorker who is finishing up a two-year stint in Paris. We…
Pimm’s, Peekaboo and an eBay Pick
Traveling to Europe? Here is my advice: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in London in July, spend five hours drinking Pimm’s with gorgeous blogging bitches. The latter has become an annual tradition for me. Pimm’s Fest 2008 Pimm’s Fest 2009 Pimm’s Fest 2010 took place Saturday, July 10. My partners-in-crime were…
What Wendy Wore: Going Gaga From the Heat
I’m going to see Lady Gaga at Madison Square Garden tonight and I’ve been working on a look to top the outfit I wore to the January Gaga concert. Here is a peek at the makeup. More and better pictures to come after the show! UPDATED, POST-CONCERT AND EXHAUSTED: My look was “disco-ball Marie Antoinette.”…
Knickers Are the Next New Thing
A gorgeous friend who is aware of my “Never is the next new thing™” fashion philosophy asked me last week what the next new thing would be. I said that I didn’t know because I didn’t see anything that would provoke the “I would NEVER wear that!” reaction that has predicted fashion trends including skinny…
