Fashion Moments in France

September 2, 2008 by WendyB

As I mentioned, we took a quick trip (arrived Friday, left Monday) to St. Tropez to celebrate the marriage of our gorgeous friends Scott and Isabelle. Here I am, blowin’ in the wind in my several-years-old Versace dress, at the beautiful chateau where Scott and Isabelle hosted us. Later, that dog woke up and ate…

Greetings From Poland

July 16, 2008 by WendyB

The most gorgeous sight in Warsaw was definitely my friend Monika. I was sad when she went away for a month last fall, so imagine how I felt when she moved here (where she grew up) this spring. I was forced to hunt her down in her native land. At the city wall Cheers!

London, Day 2: The Wizard of Ossie

July 10, 2008 by WendyB

Today was all about Ossie Clark. Ossie obsessives like gorgeous blogger Sharon Rose know that the late designer, who was never good with money, sold his financially troubled line to clothing manufacturer Al Radley in the ’70s. (A large percentage of the vintage Ossies floating around nowadays are from the Ossie Clark for Radley line.)…

Gala Is Darling

June 28, 2008 by WendyB

Whenever a fashion blogger quits, changes URLs or seeks therapy and psychopharmaceuticals due to negative comments on her blog, I think of this lovely, civilized post from Gala Darling. Gala is all ears I agree with everything Gala says, though I would have said it with a lot more cursing.* Anyway, it’s food for thought…

Friends and Family Report

June 25, 2008 by WendyB

My gorgeous friend (and jewelry-selling assistant) Shawn Love has written, produced and directed a play! “Raw Love” had its first staged reading tonight. Guess who her costume designer is? 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…

The News of the Day

June 5, 2008 by WendyB

I was really feeling the love for New York today thanks to a nauseating ride with a horn-honking, cursing cabbie who seemed to be belatedly auditioning for a role in Grand Theft Auto IV. In fact, the experience was so much like Grand Theft Auto that I decided to shoot my driver instead of paying…

Quirking Along

May 10, 2008 by WendyB

I’ve previously done the “six unspectacular quirks” tag, but since gorgeous bloggers Fasshonaburu and Pretty in Black have both tagged me, I’m doing it again. Please note that I will beat a bitch’s ass if anyone else tries to tag me with this. I’m supposed to put the rules here, but I’m not going to….

Have Dust Ruffle, Will Travel

May 8, 2008 by WendyB

Last week, our friend David Ng, the executive editor of the New York Daily News, received an award from the Asian American Federation. I wore a dress by Zang Toi to the celebratory dinner. Isn’t it a little like couch upholstery, complete with dust ruffle? But in a nice way. David told a touching story…
