Photo Flashback to Zang Toi’s Showroom

December 4, 2009 by WendyB

I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to post quite a few photos. Time to catch up! House photographer GeorgeB took this picture of me, my designing friend Zang Toi and Zang’s friends at the holiday sale I had at Zang’s showroom last month. From left to right: Don, me, Zang, Jassemine,…

Outfit Post, Almost Starring Jude and Sienna

December 2, 2009 by WendyB

I was amused to read that actors and ex-lovebirds Jude Law and Sienna Miller were spotted last week at the restaurant Emporio, home of my favorite peach sangria. My former employer, People.com, earnestly quotes a restaurant source as saying that couple opted to sit out front rather than in a “private seat in the back…

Vote, Damn You!

November 30, 2009 by WendyB

Last year, after winning both my categories (Blog With the Most Swears and Blog With the Most Pictures of the Blogger) in the “prestigious” Drysdale Awards thanks to an exhausting and exhaustive campaign, I had a Shermanesque attitude about potential future Drysdales. “I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected,” I…

Minx Manicures: Not for the Antisocial

November 23, 2009 by WendyB

I’m wearing a very special dress for a very special occasion tomorrow. While I was combing out my faux-ny tail late last night (it’s not a party without a faux-ny tail!), I realized I urgently needed a metallic Minx manicure to complete the look. Minx is not a polish; it’s a film that’s applied with…

Thank You!

November 22, 2009 by WendyB

I wish I could list all the people who made my holiday sale and pop-up shop such successes, but it would take me so long that — if this were an awards show — the orchestra would play me off stage. So I’ll simply say thank you to everyone who blogged, Tweeted, attended, shopped (both…

Gloriana Necklace, Venus Earrings and…

November 15, 2009 by WendyB

Once in a while you put on a dress and think, “This is so ME!” and feel super-special all night. When that happened to me last week, I took an outfit picture so that y’all could share in the super-special feeling. But! I’m going to keep you in suspense for a little bit. I didn’t…

Jewel of the Month: The Hen in the Egg

November 8, 2009 by WendyB

Welcome to my latest blog feature: starting with this post, I’m going to be introducing a new jewelry design every month. But that doesn’t mean I’ll be beginning a design and finishing it in 30 or 31 days. Instead, I will be presenting designs that may have taken months or years to finish. The jewel…

Featured Jewel: Lotus Necklace With Sapphire

November 5, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Kathy of Fasshonaburu joined me for dinner at sushi restaurant BondSt last night. (We recommend the fried oyster roll.)
