Three Bloggers, Two Hats, One Ring

January 29, 2010 by WendyB

One of my jewelers has developed a passion for taking videos with his iPhone.  Here I am looking dubious about it. I’m wearing the hat gorgeous blogger Jennine got for me at Tar-Jay. I think it’s a lot better than this chicken hat that I tried on while out on the town with another gorgeous…

Seeing Blue

January 11, 2010 by WendyB

I like! UPDATED TO ADD: How could I mention blue sunglasses without mentioning Anne Slater, who’s famous for her blue glasses? The shame! Thanks to gorgeous blogger Belle de Ville for jogging my memory.

Thanks for Giving (II) and Thanks for Getting

December 20, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Suzanne of Idee Fixe lured me out in a fierce snowstorm last night. How could I resist her? On December 18, she admired my swear rings. On December 19, she bought them. That’s fine decision-making for you. Suzanne and her husband plowed into Manhattan in their four-wheel drive, picked up MrB and me,…

Who Says I’m Hard to Shop For?

December 19, 2009 by WendyB

My birthday is on December 23 and I was excited to tell y’all exactly what I wanted: a metal eye patch like the one worn by Alexander Skarsgard in Lady Gaga‘s Paparazzi video. It was listed for only $102 at Not Just a Label. Unfortunately, someone bought the eye patch before I could post about…

Want to Buy Me a Gift?

August 18, 2009 by WendyB

I would like this Salvador Dali “Bird in Hand” compact. It reminds me of some of my more complicated jewelry pieces. It’s only $3,800, so what are you waiting for? I would also gladly accept this vintage Moschino faucet jacket. The starting bid is $795 on eBay. Don’t forget to snipe!

Leader of the Pack

June 11, 2009 by WendyB

I was amused by yesterday’s New York Times article about how round sunglasses are the hot look this summer. Here’s how it starts: “Was it only last year that round sunglasses were considered square? The hot eyewear look of 2008 was pretty much defined by plastic Wayfarer knockoffs, garish neon trapezoids often seen color-coordinated with…

The Pen Is Pinker Than the Sword

March 31, 2009 by WendyB

I’ve been brightening up the inside of my purse lately. In addition to my purple wallet, I have a red phone, a turquoise business-card holder and a green datebook. I also have a heart-shaped, light-blue keychain by Aspinal, which I got in an issue of Tatler last year. I love that British magazines sometimes include…

A Tip of the Top Hat

March 22, 2009 by WendyB

Those of you who like hair doodads and top hats should check out the Victoria & Albert museum shop. The top-hat hair clips are £8 and the bands are £12. If only 3D will do, BratBoutique sells mini top hats on Etsy. Separately, I tip my imaginary hat to TokyoBunnie for finding the cuteness that…
