My “Never Is the Next New Thing™”* fashion theory proposes that the most provocative/grating/startling looks — the ones that make you say, “I would NEVER wear that!” — are the ones most likely to become trends, big or small. We need to be jolted out of our fashion complacency before we move in a new…

Jewelry Gift Guide for the Holidays
I’m still selling three jewelry designs to benefit gorgeous blogger Sister Wolf. So far, your purchases of the Little Woolf necklace, the swear rings and the OMG rings have raised $1,180 of the $4,000 she needs to fix her broke-down roof! I know you need (a) holiday gifts for loved ones and (b) gifts for…
Holiday Host Gift for Hieronymus Bosch
With holiday parties upon us and time travel a possibility (well, it is on Family Guy!), I’ve been worried about finding an appropriate host gift for 15th-16th century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. I mean, just in case he invites me to zoom back to 1500 for a festive shindig. Luckily, the Los Angeles Times Magazine…
What Wendy Wore: The Purple Jacket Takes Los Angeles

Happy Thanksgiving!

Red Lipstick #3: MAC’s Prolong
It’s been two years since my last red lipstick post. I’m still devoted to MAC’s Pro Longwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust. I rarely want to wear another red because I love Lasting Lust’s color and the endurance so much. For me, the product works just like MAC’s website promises: it is smudge-, run-, transfer- and…
Jewels of the Month: Halloween Treats
I enlisted what seemed to be friendly neighborhood Peeps to help show off my Halloween-appropriate Jewels of the Month. Click the photos to buy the jewelry. Oh noes! One of these Peeps is not like the others! Luckily, I had my stake necklace, so I could defend myself from the Peep-gone-bad. The moral of the…
