October 20, 2011 by WendyB

The peplum has made one of its periodic comebacks as a fashion trend. The look brings back fond memories of a structured black cotton jacket with a peplum that I wore in the early ’90s. I had a few tailored pieces by Teenflo for work back then and the jacket might have been one of…

Pimm’s, Peekaboo and an eBay Pick

July 10, 2010 by WendyB

Traveling to Europe? Here is my advice: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in London in July, spend five hours drinking Pimm’s with gorgeous blogging bitches.  The latter has become an annual tradition for me. Pimm’s Fest 2008 Pimm’s Fest 2009 Pimm’s Fest 2010 took place Saturday, July 10. My partners-in-crime were…

eBay Pick of the Day

eBay Booty and Pauline Boty

August 3, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger and vintage-clothing purveyor Miss Peelpants (aka Liz) alerted me to an Ossie Clark dress on eBay (aka, as Liz Tweeted, “the Bay of E”) that had the same Celia Birtwell print as an Ossie I recently bought from Miss Peelpants herself. There was a different color scheme though, so if even if you…

Ashish at Browns and Other Sequined Stuff

July 22, 2009 by WendyB

I can’t believe I was just in London and didn’t go to Browns! WTF! Well, I had more important things to do most days. But I love looking at the Browns website and I definitely regret not squeezing in a visit in person. Right now I’m going crazy over a couple of pieces by Ashish,…

June 30, 2009 by WendyB

The seller (who has 100% positive feedback) says she bought the dress from the Quorum boutique and wore it on her wedding day in 1973. She says, “My best…
