The Philadelphia Museum of Art celebrated its Patrick Kelly “Runway of Love” exhibit with an opening night party on Saturday. MrB, gorgeous designing friend Stacy Lomman and I put on our party clothes and drove to Philly for the celebration. I’m a big fan of Kelly, who died — too young, of AIDS — on…

MrB Helps CNBC Celebrate Its 25th Anniversary
CNBC, the business-news cable channel, is celebrating its 25th anniversary. In honor of the landmark, it ranked the 25 people it described as having “the most profound impact on business and finance since 1989, the year CNBC went live.” MrB was on the committee that selected the top list. The committee started with 200 names,…
Throwback Thursday: Wearing Vintage in Dublin in 1997
I recently dug up this photo of me in Dublin in September or October 1997. I’m wearing a vintage Lillie Rubin coat that I got at Allan & Suzi on the Upper West Side. Check out the red-jacket-wearing photobomber in this one, staring at me as if he’d never seen a woman in a great…
Noah, MrB, and the Weather
It rained all weekend in New York City. During the deluge on Saturday, we were inspired to see the movie Noah, starring Russell Crowe. I’m still recovering from that. I don’t know if I liked the movie or hated it. It was … an experience. I supposed my best description is Game of Thrones/original Star…
Throwback Thursday: Pre-Camera-Phone Selfie
While browsing through old photos for last week’s Throwback Thursday post inspired by Marc Jacobs, I came across this pre-camera-phone selfie of me and MrB. This was taken in January 2002, about three months after I got my first digital camera. My technique has improved since then, fortunately!
Family Photos
GeorgeB’s big birthday on Saturday was a lot of fun. After the celebratory dinner, Terri Berry and I lined up with Dad for an updated version of our 1989 birthday photo. Then we gave him kisses … … which inspired his sons-in-law to do the same. My mom and nephew got in on the kissing…
Happy Birthday, GeorgeB!
My handsome father, GeorgeB, is turning 75 today. The family is getting together for a celebration. GeorgeB is expecting us this time, unlike in 1989, when we threw him a surprise 50th birthday party. Back then, there seemed to be an eternity between me and 50. Now it’s around the corner. Saying “time flies” doesn’t…
MrB Gets It a Little Wrong
A big book arrived yesterday from Yale University. It was put together in honor of the 50th anniversary of the class of 1964 — MrB’s graduating class. Everyone had the opportunity to write his biography for the book. (It is “his” biography, rather than “his or her,” because Yale didn’t go coed until 1969.) MrB’s…
Customer of the Day: Terri Berry and Her Fruit Necklace
The customer of the day is my own gorgeous sister, Terri Berry. (No, Berry is not her real last name. I wish!) She surprised me with this photo of her 18K yellow gold and garnet pomegranate/peace sign necklace. This design dates back to 2008, if not earlier. I love to see people enjoying their jewelry…
At Least I’m Consistent: ’80s Influences and Flower Feet
Yesterday, when I wrote (again!) about my enduring fondness for ’80s-style single earrings, I mentioned that I am sometimes more subtly influenced by my love of ’80s fashion. For instance, I was unexpectedly taken down an ’80s path by the floral-printed Givenchy handbag that hyp-mo-tized me during Thanksgiving window-shopping. This weekend, my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB,…
