Remember that crazy Junya Watanabe jacket I tried on at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week? I bought it, of course, and wore it to the Weinstein Company pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. The event was fabulous! Tony Bennett was there and sang “Autumn Leaves” to the Weinstein brothers’ mother. And I spotted Meryl…

What Wendy Wore: Patrick Kelly, Kanye West, King Lear
This seems to be my month for dusting off dresses that have been hibernating in my closet for two years. On Saturday, I wore my gold-sequin Antik Batik dress — last worn in December 2009 — in Las Vegas. Then, on Monday, I wore the bow-covered vintage Patrick Kelly dress that I last wore out…
What Wendy Wore: Vintage Peplum Jacket
The peplum has made one of its periodic comebacks as a fashion trend. The look brings back fond memories of a structured black cotton jacket with a peplum that I wore in the early ’90s. I had a few tailored pieces by Teenflo for work back then and the jacket might have been one of…
What Wendy Wore: A Cursed Versace
A friend of mine had his 60th birthday party at the Copacabana last Friday. I thought it was the perfect occasion for a Versace dress that I haven’t worn since the premiere of the movie Along Came Polly in Los Angeles in 2004 (my film-editor stepdaughter worked on the movie). My dress picked up bad…

Yesterday was the sixth Independent Fashion Bloggers conference. IFB was founded in 2007 by my gorgeous friend Jennine of The Coveted to provide fashion bloggers with the resources to build better blogs. It now has 30,000 members. Jennine first did a blogger get-together with a panel of speakers in a bar in September 2009. I…
Snakes in My Closet
Right before Snakes on a Plane came out five years ago, a friend and I were so swayed by the pre-opening online hype that we bet MrB that the movie would be a mega-blockbuster. Well, it turned out that the hype was just hype. According to IMDB, the movie’s domestic gross barely topped the production…
What Wendy Wore: Weathering the Last Day of Lollapalooza
After all the Eminem excitement, my sister Terri Berry and I decided to take it easy at Lollapalooza yesterday. We got a couple of Bud Lights, spread our beach towel on the lawn and sat in the sun to listen to the Cars. I wore a Pucci top I got years ago. According to gorgeous…
What Wendy Wore: Old Uniform and New Uniform
Before I quit the corporate world in February 2005, I wore a lot of suits. They were my weekday uniform. The ones I got between 2000 and 2005 were particularly nice, and I couldn’t bear to part with them. Recently, I’ve been making an effort to wear them. I took an Alexander McQueen skirt suit…
What Wendy Wore: Meeting Susu in Paris
I’m leaving Paris today, which means I’m going to cry at some point. I always cry when I leave Paris! One of the highlights of the trip was getting together with gorgeous blogger Susu of Susu Paris Chic. We met on a busy street corner near City Hall and I was worried that I would…
