Last week, we met friends for dinner at the excellent Lincoln in Lincoln Center. I originally planned to wear jeans due to general lack of energy and the ark-worthy downpour we were having. Then I decided the evening deserved a little more sartorial effort, so I put on an Ossie Clark dress that I haven’t…

Epic Picture Post: Bloggers Looking Grrreat in Leopard
Gorgeous blogger Sheila of Ephemera declared the week of February 28 to be Leopard Week, inspired by my vintage leopard gown by the late Patrick Kelly.

What Wendy Wore: Ho-Hum Except for the Heels
Gorgeous blogger Lexie of Little Boat made a big impression on me last year when she asked for pictures of my casual outfits. Even though my everyday look is pretty “meh,” I still feel compelled to take the occasional photo for Lexie’s sake. At least I can say that I don’t look like the “typical”…
What Wendy Wore: Vanity Fair Oscar Party and Leopard Week
I overcame last week’s moment of doubt and wore my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard print gown to Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party last night. Not only was I glad to wear the dress again — I feel like I’m not done with it! I want to wear yet again soon. I’m obsessed with this dress. Next…
On the Town: Pre-Oscar Party in Los Angeles
MrB and I are on a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles. Last night, we went to The Weinstein Co. pre-Oscar party, where we discreetly ogled the dashing actor Colin Firth, who is sure to win an Oscar for his work in The King’s Speech. I continued my non-wardrobe-remixing tradition by wearing nearly the exact same…
What Wendy Wore: Meeting Editors With Stacy Lomman
Gorgeous clothing designer/blogger Stacy Lomman and I had a joint meet-and-greet with a number of magazine editors, stylists and bloggers on Wednesday. It’s important for journalists to see my designs up close. Even the best photos don’t convey the beauty of jewelry the way seeing a ring on your own finger does. And Stacy’s clothes…
Pondering the Patrick Kelly Leopard Dress, Again
Y’all know that I love to wear my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard gown for a big event on an annual basis. I got the dress on eBay in April 2008 and opened the package just as I was getting dressed for a Tribeca Film Festival party. Before I put on the Ossie Clark dress I…
What Wendy Wore: New York Fashion Week
I barely thought about fashion during New York Fashion Week because I was distracted by my work on a non-fashion event. But I still got out to support two of my friends. Gorgeous blogger Jennine — the founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers — held her Evolving Influence Fashion Bloggers Conference at MAC & Milk Studios…
On the Town: Huffington and Didion at Columbia Spectator Dinner
I work on a lot of non-jewelry and non-blog projects, but I don’t always write about them here. One of those — which I alluded to in this December post but didn’t name — is my chairmanship of the board of alumni trustees of the Columbia Daily Spectator, my alma mater‘s student newspaper. I was…

What Wendy Wore Dress: Moschino (seen previously here and here) Shoes: Lagerfeld (1994) Tights: Wolford Jewelry: My own Diana and Siobhan rings I don’t care for those shiny tights with this dress at all.
