MrB and I were in Los Angeles for the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday. (Thanks for inviting us, Graydon Carter!) We watched the Oscars as we got dressed, and we were standing in front of the television, ready to walk out, just as Best Picture was announced. I was disappointed that La La Land…

10 Years Ago Tonight: New Year’s Eve Throwback
Ten years ago tonight, I rang in the New Year with MrB and a group of our friends at Balthazar. I had a fabulous time … … but I have never forgotten that one guest complimented my pinkish/lavender lipstick, then added, “That’s much better on you than red.” Humph! If we ever have memory-erasing options…
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…

What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi and a Big Day for Ears
My designing friend Zang Toi showed his fall 2016 collection on February 13 and I’m just now getting around to writing about it! It was bitterly cold that night and I was thinking, “What could I possibly wear that will keep me warm?” Luckily I was able to squeeze myself into a sweater/dress combination from…
Throwback Thursday: The 2006 Photo of My 2016 Oscars Dress
I always thought I was missing an old photo of the vintage Lillie Rubin dress that I wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Feb. 28. While looking for a different picture, I found it! This is from May 2006. I don’t know what event I wore it to that year. But I’m now…
What Eryn Wore: Wendy’s Chris Benz Dress
In 2012, I received two Chris Benz dresses that I’d ordered from a trunk show the previous fall. This was one and this was the other. I never loved the black dress. The sample fit great, but the final product didn’t live up to the original’s promise. Jean from Ghost Tailor improved it immensely, but…
Bitch Stole My Moschino!
I’m mad that I didn’t see this vintage Moschino dress on 1stdibs.com before someone else bought it. I already have two Moschino “message” dresses. I wore my “You Can Dress Me Up But You Can’t Take Me Out” dress for the first time in 2010. In 2014, I got the “Not Just a Pretty Dress”…
Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2015
Here’s a “What Wendy Wore” outfit for each month of 2015. (I’m not including any of the looks from my “Outfits on Repeat in 2015” post.) Click the photos for the original posts. I felt great in the Zang Toi jacket and faux-garter tights that I wore to Zang’s runway show in February 2014, so…
