Have Dust Ruffle, Will Travel

May 8, 2008 by WendyB

Last week, our friend David Ng, the executive editor of the New York Daily News, received an award from the Asian American Federation. I wore a dress by Zang Toi to the celebratory dinner. Isn’t it a little like couch upholstery, complete with dust ruffle? But in a nice way. David told a touching story…

Almost Perfect

May 3, 2008 by WendyB

Wouldn’t this photo be perfectly fashionable if only it had Fernando von Bakonstein in it? Marc Jacobs and Rachel Zoe, photographed by Altamira UPDATED TO ADD: Yay for Altamira AKA Craig! His photos were picked up on Oh No They Didn’t. By the way, I think these are some of the best-ever photos of Rachel.

Christian Francis Roth Archives, Part III

March 12, 2008 by WendyB

Welcome to the end of National Roth Posting Month. It didn’t feel like a month, did it? It felt more like three days. That’s because we were having so much fun! Before I present the rest of my Christian Francis Roth fashion photos, I’d like to make two comments. The first is that Christian Francis…

Best Wishes to the (Soon-to-Be) Bride

March 11, 2008 by WendyB

ENC of Observationmode is too shy to make a big deal of it herself, so I’m making a fuss for her: She’s getting married on March 20! Stop by her blog to leave your best wishes, but not your congratulations. Traditionally, you say “Congratulations” to the groom because he’s managed to find a woman who…

Christian Francis Roth Archives, Part II*

March 10, 2008 by WendyB

Oh, Eliot Spitzer. We are all shaking our heads over you. I have the feeling that at this very moment, Ice-T is kicking back in his La-Z-Boy, reading the Spitzer stories and saying, “Damn! If the dude wanted a ho, I would have hooked him up all discreet-like.” My idol, Coco, is handing her man…

Adventures in Arizona, Part II

February 17, 2008 by WendyB

As I started telling you, I spent last weekend at the Tucson Gem Show before visiting the beauteous sister bloggers Jennifer and Megan in Phoenix. I bought a few great stones, but I never tell people about the pieces I’m working on until they’re finished, so you’ll have to wait! My husband came along. He…

Models and White Powder

February 8, 2008 by WendyB

My adorable designer friend Zang Toi showed his Adirondacks-inspired fall 2008 collection at Bryant Park today. You can see a video of the whole show here. (Select “shows” and then mouse over the images for his name. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the rockin’ music he really used.) Check out the fake snow sprinkled around the…
