Playboy Sweater

August 18, 2008 by WendyB

I like an open neckline, even in winter. When I saw this Kitchen Orange Clothing sweater on Mudshark Streetwear, I thought, “Now THAT’S my kind of cold-weather clothing.” “Hello, boys!” Then I realized I had just watched the episode of the Girls Next Door where the Bunnies went to Alaska. That sweater is totally what…

More Rolled-Up Jeans

August 12, 2008 by WendyB

If you want to try the rolled-jeans look but think Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans and Acne’s Generic Girl are too expensive, try J. Crew. New York Magazine points out that J. Crew’s Distressed Vintage Slim jeans are $135. Not a Forever 21 price, to be sure, but less expensive than the premium brands. Buy them here…

Seen on Phoebe

August 3, 2008 by WendyB

The psychedelic See by Chloe dress that I posted a while ago has been ruined for me by Dlisted’s adored Phoebe Price (aka “Chicken Cutlets”). Phoebe Price is to Dlisted what Coco is to me. That’s the answer to a question on next year’s SATs, by the way: “Phoebe Price is to Dlisted as _______…

Never Say Never

August 2, 2008 by WendyB

I’m amused that people are so aghast over Katie Holmes’ recent outings in rolled-up jeans. Embed from Getty Images We all said we would never wear skinny, bell-bottom, high-waisted or acid-washed jeans again, and those have all made a comeback. Basically, never is the next new thing. So why not try roll-ups? Katie’s pair looks…

Keep guessing till you say “Wendy Brandes.” That is the correct answer. Shawn during rehearsal. “Um, yeah, I don’t see that line in the script.” Shawn…
