Last week, MrB and I went to dinner with friends at a not-very-special restaurant. I decided to wear a special outfit anyway — one that was put together during last year’s wardrobe therapy with Stacy Lomman. Stacy wanted to find a way to show off an Ossie Clark piece that I bought in London in…

What Wendy Wore: Women’s Jewelry Association Gala
I’m a member of the Women’s Jewelry Association, so I attended the networking group’s 30th annual Awards for Excellence gala last night. Monica Stephenson of idazzle.com — one of June’s Vegas Gems gang — was nominated for an award in the media category. She didn’t win the award, but her outfit was as WINNING as…
What Wendy Wore: A Shorts Story
I avoided wearing shorts for most of my adult life until 2010, when a New York City heat wave of 100+ degree weather made me break down and buy the first two pairs I saw at the closest air-conditioned store. I don’t know why shorts didn’t appeal to me for so long. I certainly wore…
Customer of the Day: A Is for Amanda
The customer of the day is a member of my Golden Girls Gang: Amanda. Amanda got one of my big, sterling-silver letter rings: an “A” for “Amanda.” I like that Amanda keeps me up-to-date on the ring’s activities. It goes for sushi … … visits Atlantic City … … takes tours of vineyards … ……
Happy Hour With Jorge and Rising Star Panel at FGI
Last month, I wore my sunglasses at night — on a rainy night, no less — while my designing friend Stacy Lomman and I got drunk and taped an interview with Jorge Alvarado of Tampa Bay’s The Jorge Show. Look out, Oprah, here comes Jorge! Jorge wanted his viewers to hear the truth about the…
Thanks for the Love!
I’ve got to thank a bunch of people for sending love my way lately. First, thanks to gorgeous client Beverly for alerting me to an item on my emoji earrings in the Vancouver Sun. She even scanned it for me. How thoughtful! The item originated only with The Kit, which wrote about my swear rings,…
Happy Mother’s Day, BarbaraB! And Week in Review
The Internets have already declared that my mother, BarbaraB, is a style icon, but in case you need further proof, check out this photo of us. My appreciation of towering hair and a good hairpiece must have come from BarbaraB. Look at her rocking that wiglet! You can see more photos of her here. Happy…
What Wendy Wore: Camouflage and Safari Gear in South Africa
It was hard to see this leopard in a tree while on safari at Thornybush Game Lodge in South Africa last week. The wild cat’s excellent camouflage made me wonder if FitzRoy the cat chose his favorite bowl for similar reasons of discretion. If it’s good enough for cats, it’s good enough for me! When…

Fall 2013’s Fur-Skirt Mini-Trend; Plus, Phind Me on Pheed!
The Fall 2013 fashion shows have wrapped up and Eric Wilson of The New York Times, who observed a lot of mini-trends on the runways, picked one that stood out to him: “… most intriguing, both in its pervasiveness and its silliness,” he wrote, “is the fur skirt.” But, Wilson wondered, why does the fur…
