Minx Manicure #3: J.Lo, Beyonce and WendyB*
I don’t get manicures as often as I should, considering that wearing large rings is a requirement for my business and people are always looking at my hands. I get so bored during manicures that I delay until I realize that broken-off nails of varying lengths are distracting people from the beauty of, for instance,…
Be Pretty in Pink for Less
As I’ve said before, I’m discontinuing my Mignonette earring style in order to focus on new designs. I have just a few Mignonettes remaining, including my all-time favorite pair in 18K white gold, diamonds and beautiful pink-striped rhodochrosite. This is the only pair I made with rhodochrosite so it is one-of-a-kind! These earrings are normally…
Enthralled by Versace Pre-Fall
Before the holidays, gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted asked me if I would be interested in visiting Versace’s 5th Avenue store to check out the pre-fall collection. Jennine knows I have a good pre-2005 Versace collection thanks to Teresa, who was a stellar sales associate at the now-closed Versace boutique on Madison Avenue. Teresa…
Buy It Now: Wendy Brandes Swear Rings
As I’ve been telling y’all, I have been nominated for three “prestigious” Drysdale awards: Blog With the Most Swearing, Blog That is Clearly Contracted to Endorse a Product or Service, and Blogger of the Year. I deserve to win all three. Not only do I swear plenty myself, but I have created a product that…
Thank You!
I wish I could list all the people who made my holiday sale and pop-up shop such successes, but it would take me so long that — if this were an awards show — the orchestra would play me off stage. So I’ll simply say thank you to everyone who blogged, Tweeted, attended, shopped (both…
Up!
I meant to take lots of photos at my pop-up shop yesterday, but I was too busy. Right before I closed, I remembered to take an outfit photo. The dress is a vintage Jacques Tiffeau. The shoes are by Yves Saint Laurent and are a few years old — the only YSLs that have ever…
The Pop-Up Shop Has Arrived
Hey, New Yorkers! Don’t forget that my pop-up shop will be open from 12 – 8 PM, today (Friday) and Saturday. Come visit me at 48 Greenwich Avenue, near Perry Street. The location is conveniently close to the Union Square subway station. Hey, everyone! I recently gave gorgeous blogger Susanna a little inside information, but…
You Give Me (Nonexistent) Fever
I got a little hoarse yesterday. Considering I have two sales coming up, this hoarseness made me very nervous. I took my temperature and it was 99.1. This is basically normal, but, because it wasn’t exactly 98.6, I decided I must be coming down with swine flu. Normally I don’t worry about such things, because…
Days of Wine and Cheese and Vintage
I dropped by my pop-up shop space on Sunday to take some final measurements and found two lovely ladies in temporary residence, doing their own pop-up shop. The owners of Poppet Vintage and Tahir Boutique showed me their vintage wares, including this blouson Koos Van Den Akker Couture dress. When I asked them to show…
