Boots That I Won’t Be Buying

January 8, 2008 by WendyB

I was very attracted to a few pairs of gray boots on sale on Net-a-Porter. Luckily, none of them were available in my size. If I had ordered them but they weren’t comfortable, I would have had to tangle with Net-a-Porter’s customer service people in order to return the boots. The last time I had…

Hot Tip for World Leaders

January 4, 2008 by WendyB

People have been hunting for Osama Bin Laden for years, but he is nowhere to be found. This can only mean one thing. He’s in the same “safe place” where I put months of bank statements, two inexpensive necklaces and my thigh-high black suede boots. All we need to do is find that place and…

Too Sick for the Sales

December 26, 2007 by WendyB

I have a bad cold, so I’m not hitting the stores to check out the post-holiday sales. But I always have enough energy to browse online. I like this asymmetrical top even though it’s terrible for jewelry. A necklace is out of the question and earrings might be too. I try to avoid clothes that…

More Shoes in the News

November 28, 2007 by WendyB

While in L.A., I found these Pierre Hardy shoes on sale at Neiman Marcus. Festive! A 37 was too small. A 38 was too big. Apparently, one 37.5 exists in the universe and the store is sending it to me. I’m very particular about how shoes fit, so I suspect I will be returning this…

Did You Miss Me?

November 27, 2007 by WendyB

I have a confession to make. I sneaked away to L.A. for a few days and never told y’all! I didn’t want you peeps to make a scene … all that weeping, wailing and begging me to stay is just not dignified! Snap out of it! While in L.A. , I wore some crazy Alaia…

I Defer to the Authority of the Bootmaker

November 10, 2007 by WendyB

I’m obsessed with these Finnish* boots that Cheap Opulence posted. She also pointed out great striped sweaters by Saint James. On top of that, she makes things for Preloved! I have three pieces by them. Weirdly, I got them in Oslo, though they were made in Canada. Speaking of boots, if you’re a size 39,…

The Fame Clock Is Ticking

November 4, 2007 by WendyB

If you think Andy Warhol’s line, “Everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes” is overused, you’re not alone. Embed from Getty Images In 1979, Warhol himself said, “I’m bored with that line. I never use it anymore. My new line is, “In fifteen minutes everybody will be famous.’” I will now present my most recent…

’60s-Style Patent Boots

October 24, 2007 by WendyB

Shopbop has lots of stylish patent leather accessories. I love patent. In my experience it holds up really well. My 12-year-old Prada Mary Janes are black patent. On Shopbop, these white patent boots caught my eye. Paul & Joe Patent “Flea” Stretch Boot If you’ve ever gone shopping for original ’60s go-go boots, you’ll know…
