Fashion Moments in France

September 2, 2008 by WendyB

As I mentioned, we took a quick trip (arrived Friday, left Monday) to St. Tropez to celebrate the marriage of our gorgeous friends Scott and Isabelle. Here I am, blowin’ in the wind in my several-years-old Versace dress, at the beautiful chateau where Scott and Isabelle hosted us. Later, that dog woke up and ate…

Jaded

August 8, 2008 by WendyB

I guess Henry is tired of posing with beautiful purses, because he couldn’t hold back a yawn despite the beauty of my new lace Prada bag. Thank you to MrB for taking my very subtle hint and getting me this lovely anniversary handbag. (Rest assured he did not pay that inflated eBay price!) Or maybe…

Never Say Never

August 2, 2008 by WendyB

I’m amused that people are so aghast over Katie Holmes’ recent outings in rolled-up jeans. Embed from Getty Images We all said we would never wear skinny, bell-bottom, high-waisted or acid-washed jeans again, and those have all made a comeback. Basically, never is the next new thing. So why not try roll-ups? Katie’s pair looks…
