Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday: More Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks

October 9, 2014 by WendyB

While writing yesterday’s post about Fleetwood Mac, I delved into the band’s past, so I’ve got lots of recommended reading for you. Start with the band’s March 1977 Rolling Stone cover story. The band members were interviewed separately for the story by the then-19-year-old Cameron Crowe — the same Cameron Crowe who would eventually write…

Throwback Thursday: Updo, Eleven Years Ago

September 18, 2014 by WendyB

For Throwback Thursday, here I am trying to be Audrey Hepburn in an LBD and updo in November 2003. The yellow-diamond earrings and ring I’m wearing were purchased from my late business partner, before we were partners. I didn’t go into the jewelry business until 2005. I think this is the same, very short, black…

Throwback Thursday: My Oldest Friend & Outfit Inspiration

September 4, 2014 by WendyB

When my parents moved out of my childhood home last year, they gave me lots of old photos. I was rummaging through those yesterday when I came across a photo of me with my first-ever friend. I was 10 weeks old when that photo was taken. (Teddy was wearing diapers because my father wanted me…

Throwback Thursday: Miley Cyrus Wearing My Ring

August 21, 2014 by WendyB

I had forgotten this until I wrote about my Victoria buckle ring recently: In 2009, Miley Cyrus borrowed that ring for appearances she was making to promote her Hannah Montana movie. You can see it on her index finger in this photo. #86043282 / gettyimages.com That ring would be even more appropriate for her now….

Throwback Thursday: Marie France Dress in 2014 and 2006

August 7, 2014 by WendyB

Our gorgeous friend Jolie Hunt invited me and MrB to the launch party for her marketing and communications firm, Hunt & Gather, earlier this week. (Is that a great company name, or what?) The event was on a former Navy ship named the Baylander, which was docked at Pier 5 in Brooklyn for the night….

Throwback Thursday: One Gold Dress Over Three Years

July 24, 2014 by WendyB

Last July 29, I attended the Women’s Jewelry Association Gala wearing, appropriately, all gold. I looked up that outfit post while contemplating what to wear to the 2014 WJA event, taking place next Monday. That’s when I realized that I always wore the same gold shoes with the same gold dress. Check it out! The…

What Wendy Wore: A Favorite Versace Dress in 2008 and 2014

July 21, 2014 by WendyB

When I was hanging out with my designing friend Zang Toi on July 4th, I showed him some old pictures of us together. One of the photos was in this post from 2008 and, as I looked at it, I decided another picture in the same post captured one of my favorite fashion moments evah….

Throwback Thursday: Pool Party Style

July 10, 2014 by WendyB

I hope you’re all having a wonderful summer day, complete with everything I loved about summer in the 1980s: pool floats, snake-patterned bathing suits and teased-up hair. Well, maybe not the teased-up hair. That never went well with pools.

Throwback Thursday: Red, White & Blue Outfits for Holidays

July 3, 2014 by WendyB

It’s July 4th tomorrow, so I have some red, white and blue styles from years past for Throwback Thursday. The Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sailor outfit I got in Paris in 2010 always works for a patriotic holiday. The first time I wore it was in Mallorca — not for the 4th, just for fun. In…
