What Wendy Wore: Watanabe Jacket, Stacy Lomman Vest

May 1, 2012 by WendyB

Last night, MrB and I went to an event hosted by The Weinstein Company, so I was inspired to wear the same Junya Watanabe jacket I wore to a Weinstein event in February. I am the anti-wardrobe-remixer. I got this jacket at Bergdorf Goodman. I was very excited to see it on Bergdorf’s homepage recently….

What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Vest & Arm Warmers

April 9, 2012 by WendyB

The best way to predict the next big fashion trend is to remember my catchphrase: “Never is the next new thing™.” The styles that are most hated at first — the ones that make people say, “Never!” — are the ones that are hottest once our eyes adjust. Since I figured this out, whenever I…

Stacy Lomman’s Mod, Mod, Mod, Mod World

March 13, 2012 by WendyB

Gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy Lomman presented her Fall 2012 collection on February 16. The “Modern World” looks of this collection — her fourth — were inspired by ’60s Mod, especially Courrèges, who is a longtime fashion hero of Stacy’s. But the styles weren’t costume-like or vintage-looking. They’re modernized Mod, if you will. Here, let Stacy tell…

Seen at Bergdorfs: Crazy Junya Watanabe Jacket

February 23, 2012 by WendyB

My gorgeous friend Debra and I visited Bergdorf Goodman to do some research for our respective jobs. (Really!) While we were there, I spotted a wild and crazy “motorcycle” jacket by Junya Watanabe: bright blue, ultra-cropped, belted under the bosom, with an explosion of ruffles on the shoulders. We spent a few minutes saying, “What…

I’m a Fashion Group International Rising Star Award Winner!

January 27, 2012 by WendyB

It was great to be a finalist for Fashion Group International‘s Rising Star Award for fine jewelry last year, but it was even better to win the 2012 award yesterday! The fact that gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy Lomman was also a finalist in the women’s ready-to-wear category this year was a bonus.  I wouldn’t have been…

Join the Golden Girls Gang With a DVF Dress

January 11, 2012 by WendyB

Gorgeous food blogger and Golden Girls Gang OG Tina took time out from stalking moody rapper Joe Budden on Twitter to stalk gold dresses online. Okay, I’m the one who stalks Joe Budden but I like to pretend it’s Tina. Tina, however, really did alert me to this gold sequin Diane Von Furstenberg dress on…

On the Town: Seth MacFarlane, Common, Slaughterhouse

January 10, 2012 by WendyB

Due to holiday mayhem, I never blogged about the three nights I spent at Highline Ballroom last month, and I’ve got a picture you just have to see, so let’s catch up. The photo is not one of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. I’m a Family Guy fanatic, and when I read that MacFarlane would…

What Wendy Wore: Gold Sequins for New Year’s Eve 2012

January 1, 2012 by WendyB

The color gold was on my mind as I got ready for New Year’s Eve. Much to my delight, it was on other people’s minds too. MrB and I gave gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman a ride to our dinner at Indochine. When Stacy turned up at our apartment wearing gold sequins that matched mine, I…

What Wendy Wore: Golden Girls Gang Does Vegas

November 7, 2011 by WendyB

Since 2008 — and inspired by a gold sequin Antik Batik dress — I’ve wanted to organize a terrifying gang called the Golden Girls. Membership would require the wearing of gold sequins, the ability to strike the WendyB pose and maybe a violent initiation ceremony just to keep things lively. I unexpectedly achieved my gangsta…
