What We Wore: Halloween 2017

October 30, 2017 by WendyB

What We Wore: Halloween 2017

I celebrated Halloween on Saturday by going to Videology Bar & Cinema in Brooklyn for a screening of the 1980 movie The Shining. MrB had never seen it before! Now I’m wondering what the hell he was thinking all these years whenever he came across pop culture references to “Redrum.” I dressed as one of…

Wendy Brandes Jewelry in the News

A big thank you to Amy Elliott of JCK for including my hockey mask and chainsaw earrings in her Halloween jewelry round-up. I also enjoyed a visit with Severine Ferrari, the editor-in-chief of Engagement 101. She shared a video on the ‘Gram of the 18K yellow gold and black diamond wedding band I created to…

Happy National Pumpkin Day!

October 26, 2017 by WendyB

Happy National Pumpkin Day!

It’s “National Pumpkin Day,” a very special holiday created by who knows. I suspect this is further evidence of the existence of a pumpkin-growers cabal that has also led to the proliferation of pumpkin products every autumn. Eventually we’ll all be living in pumpkin houses, driving in our pumpkin coaches to see the Pumpkin Spice Girls…

Skulls and Other Spooky Jewels

No tricks here, just a treat! To celebrate Halloween, I’ve created a special shopping code that you can apply to all of my in-stock skull jewelry. Enter “PoorYorick” during checkout and I guarantee you’ll shiver with delight. You can also use the code on vampire- and poison-inspired designs. Shop skulls. Shop vampires. Shop poison. Remember,…

Happy Halloween From Bananarama

October 31, 2016 by WendyB

Happy Halloween From Bananarama

If my Halloween costumes continue to be predictors of future trends, prepare yourself for the comeback of massively teased hair. I’ve always loved ’80s pop trio Bananarama … Embed from Getty Images … so I recruited my gorgeous friends Kara and Stacy to dress up as the group for an early Halloween celebration on Saturday….

Throwback Thursday: ’80s Pop-Star Halloween Costumes

Throwback Thursday: ’80s Pop-Star Halloween Costumes

I’m so disappointed that 1980s-themed dance club Culture Club has closed (again)! It was a good Halloween party spot for people dressed like 1980s pop stars. In 2013, my designing friend Stacy Lomman and I acquired official Devo “energy domes” (aka upside-down flowerpot hats) and blended into a Devo mural at Culture Club. It’s still…

It’s Halloween Jewelry Time!

It’s Halloween Jewelry Time!

You know what I like about October? Halloween. And you know what I like about Halloween? It gives me an excuse to repost this gif starring my hockey mask and chainsaw earrings. (The gif was created by the fine folks at Spring, the Instagram-like shopping app.) The combination of a hockey mask and a chainsaw…

What Wendy Wore: The Pre-Halloween Ho Stroll

It’s been a long time since I’ve done the Halloween ho stroll, to borrow a phrase from the highlarious Michael K of Dlisted. I’m more likely to dress for the holiday as a non-sexy Anne Boleyn, Adam Ant, member of Devo, or random Mod girl. That said, I figured that for a drinks date on…

Throwback Thursday: Halloween 2005

Throwback Thursday: Halloween 2005

Ten years ago, for Halloween, I dressed as a Mod in an original 1960s Ossie Clark dress and white vinyl bubble hat. The white go-go boots were reproductions. My hair was shorter then. MrB was … well, I guess he was a guy wearing a mustache. Other favorite Halloween throwbacks: Diamond Doodles’s 2014 doodles with…
