What Eryn Wore: Wendy’s Chris Benz Dress

February 24, 2016 by WendyB

Job Opportunity … With Me!

Hot Earring Trends in the Mainstream Media

July 31, 2014 by WendyB

Last year, I wrote a Huffington Post story called, “Not So Fast There! The Surprisingly Long Life of Fashion Trends,” in which I observed that fashion trends don’t come and go as quickly as we think they do. In fact, trends can take seasons — or even years — to develop, and then linger for…

Introducing Eryn and the New Instagram Account

October 25, 2013 by WendyB

As I mentioned earlier this week, I have hired my very first full-time employee after eight years in business. Meet Eryn Patton!
