February 6, 2008 by WendyB

Are you a reporter who needs to write a fashion story? Here’s a helpful outline! Runway TrendsBy I.M. Tedious Find woman in department store. Be sure to make her sound humorless. Explain how said woman can’t find anything office-appropriate in the store. Explain how the coming season is even less office-appropriate. Quote from dismayed retail…

Boob Bow Redux at Luxx

December 10, 2007 by WendyB

Yep! The boob bow is the new hot thing. First it was the butt bow. Now it’s the boob bow. This boob bow was brought to you by Luxx Magazine, published by the Times of London, part of the Murdock/h MegaEmpire. Speaking of MegaEmpires, did I not tell you that Google was going to punish…

New at Topshop

September 7, 2007 by WendyB

Of the Kate Moss pieces available at this moment on Topshop.com, I like this tweed jacket the most. I’d have to see it personally to decide if it was worth 75 pounds. This grey cashmere sweater is also cute, but again, 65 pounds seems like a lot for what I think of as Topshop quality….

Go Ahead. Be a Big Girl’s Blouse.

September 4, 2007 by WendyB

Designer Anne Fontaine in her own blouse, via Factio Once in a while I walk by Anne Fontaine’s store on Madison Avenue and feel tempted to go inside. The French designer specializes in white and black blouses. Generally, I don’t like how I look in a button-down top but some of the pieces are pretty…

No Good Fish Goes Anywhere Without a Porpoise

August 28, 2007 by WendyB

Fasshonaburu brought this fishy Tory Burch skirt to my attention. And here we have a fish watch. Great Gear News posted about this fishy design. But alas, I am still unable to procure my life’s true desire: fish feet. As God is my witness, I shall not rest till I have little carp teeth encircling…

Great Minds Think Alike…About Sashes

August 15, 2007 by WendyB

When I saw this beautiful Jonathan Saunders dress in the window of Bergdorf Goodman …. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DRESS. … the Marc Jacobs dress from 2004 on Liv Tyler immediately sprang to mind. Embed from Getty Images They’re certainly not identical though. It must just be the sash.

Pink J. Crew Jacket

August 13, 2007 by WendyB

I haven’t shopped at J. Crew in years and years (though I remember in those pre-Internet days ordering by phone from their catalog in the middle of the night). But I’m intrigued by this pink jacket. There’s some nice detail on the back and it comes in several other colors as well. Get it here.

Calling All Designing Womyns!

August 9, 2007 by WendyB

Catwalkqueen found this “customize our t-shirt” contest run by Fawcett, a U.K. group campaigning for gender equality. I usually confine slogan t-shirts to the gym, but if someone made me a sex-ay tank out of one of these, I’d wear it all around town! For those who don’t know, Merriam-Webster defines feminism as “the theory…

It’s the Surreal Thing

July 30, 2007 by WendyB

When I was in London a few months ago, I saw a terrific exhibit on surrealism at the V&A. They had some cute tromp l’oeil t-shirts in the gift shops. I got the one shown here for those days I want to feel like I’m in the cast of “Oliver!” I really wanted this one…

Latex Pants (And Pants That Just Look Like Latex)

July 30, 2007 by WendyB

Balenciaga’s ultra-expensive gold leggings seemed like a runway stunt, but shiny legs have crossed over into real-life wardrobes. It seemed to start with Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham. Or was it really American Apparel‘s gold leggings (see above)? Not everyone approves, but it’s now catching on in a big way despite the summer heat:So FASH’onSo…
