Maid in Manhattan?

September 7, 2007 by WendyB

I haven’t worn gloves for years. I prefer to stuff my hands in my pockets and complain about the cold weather. But when I found these woolly fingerless gloves in Bergen, Norway, this summer, I was in love. Then, two days ago, I was on Madison Avenue and walked by Sermoneta Gloves. The brightly colored…

Luscious Leather

September 7, 2007 by WendyB

Isn’t this leather mini-trench by S.W.O.R.D. beautiful? I love it but I definitely can’t get it. I have too many coats and jackets as it is. Here is the back view (in a different color). It’s available at blaec.com. I’ve never bought anything from the site but I like to browse its interesting collection (even…

Go Ahead. Be a Big Girl’s Blouse.

September 4, 2007 by WendyB

Designer Anne Fontaine in her own blouse, via Factio Once in a while I walk by Anne Fontaine’s store on Madison Avenue and feel tempted to go inside. The French designer specializes in white and black blouses. Generally, I don’t like how I look in a button-down top but some of the pieces are pretty…

August 24, 2007 by WendyB

For the folks who find this blog while searching for skinny gold jeans: Good news! Saks has a pair by Converse by John Varvatos for $225. I don’t see them on Saks.com yet, but I am sure you can call the store and tell them you want the jeans advertised on page A3 of the…

Money, Money, Money

August 24, 2007 by WendyB

Yogi Berra once noted that cash is almost as good as money. I’m not in the market for a new wallet to keep my cash in, but if I were, I’d be interested in these two sold at MOMA, both designed by Hester van Eeghen. The Sunrise wallet (above) is $145 ($130.50 for MOMA members)…

(G)Love Is All Around

August 24, 2007 by WendyB

Everyone is loving gloves and shiny clothes for the fall, so I give you … shiny gloves! These patent gloves cost $175 at Neiman Marcus and come in several colors. I’m rather partial to the green and plum, but black patent is always a classic.

Socks Appeal and What Lies Beneath

August 21, 2007 by WendyB

The hosiery industry is rejoicing. Tights (and socks) are back. Sock Dreams has interesting options(thanks to Allure, Style Bubble and several other bloggers for pointing out this site). Meanwhile, if you’re in need of lingerie (whoever you are… male, female…I don’t judge), Bare Necessities has a huge selection.

Buy My Dress at Frock NYC

August 17, 2007 by WendyB

My favorite vintage store, Frock NYC, has relaunched its website! Check out the beautiful selections, including Ossie Clark, Thea Porter, Ungaro and Moschino. Not to mention my very own Versace Couture dress (see above), worn to the Oscars in 2003! And if you’re in NYC, you must stop by the store at 148 Orchard Street…

I like the bold, graphic design on this ’80s snakeskin Carlos Falchi bag. It’s $165 on Poshvintage.com.

Take Good Care of Your Acne

August 14, 2007 by WendyB

I’ve mentioned Acne Jeans a lot, but I forgot to give you an important warning. Wash the jeans as infrequently as possible (a good recommendation for all jeans unless you are striving for the broken-in look) and when you do wash them….hand-wash! With my first pair of these jeans, I debated the cleaning process for…
