If you’re just tuning in to today’s flurry of blog posts, I’m going through my Oscar and Oscar party looks from 2003 though 2017. Part I: 2003 – 2005 in vintage, plus a compliment from Renee Zellweger. Part II: 2006 – 2009, with a cameo from George Clooney and all kinds of butt adornments. Lo…
My Oscar Gown Archives, Part II
To celebrate tonight’s Academy Awards — and console myself for not being there this year — I’m reminiscing about my personal Oscar fashion archive. Picking up where I left off in Part I, Part II begins in 2006. Beauty-wise, I skipped the faux-ny tail again and, thankfully, opted for straight hair. I had enough going…
Throwback Thursday: Partying Like It’s 1998
MrB and I are celebrating our 20th date-a-versary today. That means that on this day in 1998, he and I started … um … “going steady”? “Became an item”? I’m not sure how to word it in a way that doesn’t make y’all feel like … Phoebe Buffay GIF from Phoebe GIFs It wasn’t our…
Happy Valentine’s Day From Hi-Rez and Me
If you need an emergency Valentine’s Day card, I suggest that you print out this romantic message from rapper Hi-Rez.

Jewelry for My Imaginary Golden Globes Outfit
Yesterday, I showed you the two outfits I would have chosen between if I’d had gone to the Golden Globes last Sunday. Here’s a closer look at the jewelry I would have worn with either outfit — all my own designs, of course. (I had to raid the vault for this little photo shoot!) From…
What Wendy Wore: Iceland Exploration
As I mentioned in this post, I spent New Year’s in Reykjavik, Iceland, with friends. I normally celebrate my birthday with family on the actual day (December 23) and then have a combined New Year’s Eve/birthday celebration with friends. However, this year — as you may recall — was a big birthday. I started contemplating…
Slow-Fashion Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2017
To bring 2017 to a close, I’m taking a look back at 12 “What Wendy Wore” highlights, with an emphasis on slow fashion. Click the photos for the original posts. January began with all gold everything, as I rang in 2017 in a gold gown first worn in 2004. This time, I added a crown….
Throwback Thursday: Eryn Wearing Something Borrowed
My right-hand woman Eryn got engaged in this February and married in September. I previously mentioned that Eryn had her eyes on my opal lariat necklace for her big “something borrowed” jewelry, but wound up selecting a different design. Here’s a belated photo of her mom helping her with my one-of-a-kind Selene moonstone necklace. When…
Back to the ’80s With Jessie’s Girl
I surprised my family by asking to celebrate my big birthday on Saturday with a glamorous 5 p.m. dinner at Bareburger. What can I say? There were two little kids attending, and I enjoy The Standard burger, medium well. In reality, I was just getting warmed up for a midnight show by ’80s cover band…
