I love an excuse for a themed outfit. Accordingly, on many 4th of July holidays, I’ve worn the Castelbajac sailor outfit I got in 2010. This year, I don’t feel costume-y. Instead, I’ve acknowledged the day by texting the word RESIST to 50409 and using Resistbot to tell Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney and New York senators…

Greetings From the Portland Jewelry Symposium
Thanks to jewelry-industry guru Peggy Jo Donahue, I’m out in Portland, Ore., to participate in a panel at the Portland Jewelry Symposium. This is my second Peggy Jo panel in a week. Last Tuesday, I was in New York talking about using social media as part of a design business at a 7:30 a.m. breakfast….

Holiday Video: Happy 4th of July!
You saw my special Independence Day outfit in yesterday’s post — now you can watch a video to see what else I have to say about this look. As I mention in the video, it does amuse me to wear this outfit for little boat trips and there’s proof of that here. Have a happy…

Two Fashion Favorites, Two Big Magazines
My favorite model of all time is Linda Evangelista — and I especially like her Harper’s Bazaar covers from the 1990s, when the late Liz Tilberis was editor in chief. The September 1992 issue electrified the industry. I still have the January 1995 cover framed and hanging on my wall. It’s appropriate that the first…
First Day of Fall, Last Dresses of Summer
Every year, as fall approaches, I realize I haven’t worn all my summer dresses. I raced to squeeze in a few of them recently. For a nonprofit organization’s cocktail party and dinner, I wore a JC de Castelbajac dress that I bought in Paris in 2013. What Wendy Wore Dress (with pockets!): JC de Castelbajac…
