I’m amazed that gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu got a picture of us at the Independent Fashion Bloggers Dress Up Soiree in which I’m smiling but not showing teeth. I’m sure I haven’t taken a picture like that in 20 years. Hmmm. My memory is going. Have I mentioned that Independent Fashion Bloggers is having…

Tavi’s WendyB Polyvore Sets
I don’t know how I persuaded petite fashion dynamo Tavi of Style Rookie to use my jewelry in two beautiful Polyvore sets quite some time ago. An even bigger mystery is why I never shared them here. Better late than never, I always say, especially when I’m very late. Here they are. wendy b! by…
Smile and the World Smiles With You
I don’t know why I love this Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sweater, but I do. Gorgeous blogger ENC of Observationmode says, “Now you need to get it, put it on, then spill the filling from a raspberry jelly-filled donut down the front so it will look like it was shot in the head.” That would be…
Coco Chanel Was Wrong; Broken English Is Right
Coco Chanel supposedly said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.” I’ve always wondered if she really said this. After all, she promoted wearing gobs of costume-jewelry chains. That doesn’t seem very minimalist to me. Anyway, whether or not she said it, people love to quote these alleged words…
New York Fashion Week Frocks
It’s always fun to dress up for New York Fashion Week. In addition to the two tartan dresses I wore on Friday, I’ve worn dresses I’ll describe as new-old, old-old and new-new. For Fashion’s Night Out, I went with new-old. This Ossie Clark dress was made more than 30 years ago. I won it on…

Feeling Like a Winner
I was very excited to get the “Superior Scribbler” award from gorgeous blogger Lizzi. As I read her post, I thought, “Cool, she picked me!” and scrolled down to see the rest of her list. Then I realized I WAS her list. It’s all about ME! Okay, in reality, Lizzi was too tired to think…
More Adventures in California
I’ve moved on from L.A. to Napa Valley. On the way, I stopped in San Francisco and had dinner with four gorgeous bloggers at NOPA. From left to right: Catie of Cuffington, Annie of Poetic & Chic, Mai of Fashioni.st, Patti of CuteMess and me in my Francis sailor dress. In Napa Valley, I helped…
The Guilt Is Killing Me
This blog has become the place where tags go to die. Gorgeous bloggers have been generously including me in tags and giving me awards since January, and I have failed to do the right thing and pass the tags/awards along. It’s not that I don’t appreciate such things. I do! But I ran out of…
In L.A.: Kristin Londgren, Bloggers and Coco
My trip to L.A. full of interesting meetings. On Tuesday, I visited Kristin Londgren, a chic little boutique on West Third Street in Los Angeles.A I had a nice long chat with Kristin Londgren herself, who showed me her own line of clothing as well as the jewelry lines she carries. Here are a few…
