Meet the Rightful Queen on My 13th Blogversary

July 23, 2020 by WendyB

In honor of my 13th blogversary today, I’ve overcome some long-running technical problems and broken into my own blog in order to say hello. My dire need for a new website/blog developer (comment with your resume!) reminds me of the good old days of my blog’s random removal from listings by the now-defunct search-engine Technorati…

A “Dirty Dozen” Blogversary

July 23, 2019 by WendyB

It’s my 12th blogversary! It’s Dirty Dozen time! I mean, literally, here’s a video from D12. That video starts with OG rapper Ice-T (the husband of my OG obsession, Coco). His lines include direct quotes from The Warriors, an OG movie. That’s appropriate because I’m an OG blogger from the big burst of fashion blogs…

My 11th Blogversary!

July 23, 2018 by WendyB

I started this blog 11 years ago today with “just a placeholder.” Shout out to Britney Spears, who — a couple of days later — inspired me to start writing a lot more than I’d planned to. Since July 23, 2007, I’ve published 3,746 posts, meaning I’ve added about 250 after celebrating my 10th blogversary…

Ninth Blogversary

July 23, 2016 by WendyB

In 2007, they all told me not to do it. Luxury-goods consultants. The former fashion director of a major department store. My own publicist. Random-ass acquaintances. “Don’t do a blog,” they said. “It will ruin your brand.” “You’re too accessible,” they said. “Luxury is about exclusivity.” Clearly, I didn’t heed their warnings because today this…

Throwback Thursday: Eight Years of Blogging

July 23, 2015 by WendyB

Here’s something for Throwback Thursday: I started blogging eight years ago today. It’s my blogversary! My first post, published on July 23, 2007, was called “Just a placeholder” because I thought I was going to be too busy to devote any time to blogging. Two days later, I found out that Britney Spears had left…

Seven Year Itch? Nah!

July 23, 2014 by WendyB

Today is my SEVENTH blogversary! I started this blog on July 23, 2007, by warning that I wouldn’t be blogging much. Two days later, I discovered Britney Spears had “borrowed” one of my rings without permission. I simply had to share that online, and after that, I was unstoppable.  Since then, I’ve written over 2,600…

My Sixth Blogversary and a New Huffington Post Story

July 23, 2013 by WendyB

Time flies when you’re having fun — and even when you’re not having fun! It’s my sixth blogversary today. To celebrate, I will be lazy: Instead of writing a big post here, allow me to direct you to my latest piece on the Huffington Post, featuring a fashion-blogger slideshow. For a while, I was bummed…

Fifth Blogversary

July 23, 2012 by WendyB

I started this blog five years ago today. In my initial post, I warned that I wouldn’t be blogging much. Two days later, I discovered Britney Spears had “borrowed” one of my rings without permission. Of course, I had to share that online, and after that, I couldn’t stop. Since then, I’ve changed the name…

Fourth Blogversary

July 23, 2011 by WendyB

On this date in 2007, I published a post called “Just a placeholder,” which said, “I’m going to start this blog soon but right now I’m busy redesigning my regular website.” Two days later, Britney Spears stole one of my rings. That simply had to be blogged and suddenly I was off and running. I…
