Who Wore Short Shorts in the ’80s?

September 5, 2008 by WendyB

I’m the one in the Deep Purple t-shirt. Thanks (sorta) to my cousin Gary (the kid with bad posture) for digging up this approximately 25-year-old photo. That’s Terri Berry on the left and Gary’s father, David, in the back. Despite my awesome blonde bangs and concert tee (yes, I did go see the band!), I…

New Girl in Town

September 4, 2008 by WendyB

I went to hairstylist-to-the-stars Keith Carpenter today and told him I wanted to look like “the new girl in town.” What does that mean? We don’t know! Anyway, this is how I look. Not much different, I suppose. It is shorter, though.

Thursday Book Club: Inspired by Poland

September 3, 2008 by WendyB

Last week, I told you how my recent trip to Poland inspired me to read Sala’s Gift and The Lost, but I never got around to talking about the books themselves. I’ll rectify that now and, to thank you for your patience, I’ll throw in a number of bonus book suggestions as well. Sala Garncarz…

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…

I’m Uberchic!

September 1, 2008 by WendyB

The lovely folks at Ask a New Yorker named me September’s “Uberchic.” It’s like being Playmate of the Month, but with more clothes and no invitation to swim with Hef in the Grotto. Ask a New Yorker used AltamiraNYC‘s photo of me — as well as several flower molestation shots. You really can ask a…

The Color of Royalty

August 15, 2008 by WendyB

When Karla of Karla’s Closet modeled her peach American Apparel skirt recently, this anonymous comment made me laugh out loud: Oh how glad I am you didn’t choose the purple Barney-esque color. I think a lot of your style originality comes from the fact that you can wear just about any brand (I even dare…

More Rolled-Up Jeans

August 12, 2008 by WendyB

If you want to try the rolled-jeans look but think Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans and Acne’s Generic Girl are too expensive, try J. Crew. New York Magazine points out that J. Crew’s Distressed Vintage Slim jeans are $135. Not a Forever 21 price, to be sure, but less expensive than the premium brands. Buy them here…

Another Short (Skirt) Story

July 29, 2008 by WendyB

I think this American Apparel skirt is short enough to avoid frumpiness, while avoiding the frightening brevity of the Acne Jeans skirt. Please excuse the waist-down photos. I’ve been having some bad face days.

Acne Away!

July 28, 2008 by WendyB

I was unable to resist trying the studded Acne skirt I posted here. Usually, hemlines that are sky-high on tall models are perfect on me. In this case, the skirt was as short as advertised. Yikes! When I told MrB that the skirt had to go back, he practically burst into tears. He thinks this…
