Halloween

Happy National Pumpkin Day!

October 26, 2017 by WendyB

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

October 24, 2017 by WendyB

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

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

October 27, 2016 by WendyB

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!

October 5, 2016 by WendyB

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

November 4, 2015 by WendyB

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

October 29, 2015 by WendyB

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…

What Wendy Wore: Halloween With the Damned

November 1, 2014 by WendyB

My gorgeous friend Stacy Lomman got us tickets to see iconic punk band the Damned perform at Irving Plaza on Halloween, so I wasn’t sure what costume I should wear or if I should wear one at all. I mean, what if I decided to wade into the mosh pit and do some crowd surfing?…

A Halloween Doodle

October 31, 2014 by WendyB

I’ve recently become obsessed with the Diamond Doodles account on Instagram after seeing it on the Gem Gossip blog. Gorgeous and funny Hannah Becker works in the jewelry biz and creates clever doodles around both loose gems and finished jewelry designs. Some of my recent favorites are: “My, what big teeth you have!” Frankenstein (look…
