March 14, 2008 by WendyB

I can’t remember which blog originally tipped me off to the Prada Fairy Bag controversy, but thanks! The ink on the bags can bleed if it gets wet. Prada apparently didn’t know that when they started selling the bags. Now they know, thanks to customer complaints, and hopefully salespeople are warning new customers. There is…

Out to Dinner Outfit

March 5, 2008 by WendyB

I’ve been trying to break my jeans-and-t-shirt-and-lots-of-jewelry habit, so this is what I wore to dinner at Landmarc restaurant last night. That’s my Alexander McQueen sweater and skirt from 2004 with Henry’s new Prada bag. I can’t seem to get the hang of Photoshop (the shame!) so I couldn’t fit in the shoes — the…

A Basic Wardrobe, Part II

February 29, 2008 by WendyB

It’s time to get back to basics. Wardrobe basics. Here is the post I did about my old wardrobe basics. My everyday essentials are red lipstick, heels (or high wedges) and jewelry. For the past year or so, my favorite lipstick has been MAC’s Pro Longwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust. It is the!perfect!red! I recommended…

You Decide

February 21, 2008 by WendyB

Was the WWD headline “Miuccia Plays The Lace Card” offensive? Amusing? Neither? Does it make a difference to you that Prada used its first black runway model in years at the very show that WWD was reviewing? A lacy (not racy) Prada look UPDATED TO ADD GUIDANCE FOR NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS: The headline is a play…

Post #400: A New Handbag Has Arrived

February 7, 2008 by WendyB

I wouldn’t let Henry get close to this new Prada bag because I am dithering about whether to keep it. What to do …. what to do …. “Why do I have to pose with handbags anyway?” Previously, he was allowed to hang out with a Vuitton. “Stephen Sprouse was so genius.” And he got…

Nomi Malone Loves Versace Too

February 1, 2008 by WendyB

Some fashionistas assume Versace always looks like the purple dress below, complete with scary, too-tan makeup. No, there was no time to start over. I had to go out with an orange face and white arms. Shit happens! Get over it. Sometimes peeps have armgina, sometimes they have bad makeup. Orange you glad to see…

Buh-Bye, Louboutin. Hello, lolShoes.

January 29, 2008 by WendyB

I ordered these Louboutins back in July, I think. Whenever they first appeared on Net-a-Porter. Imagine my surprise when they arrived yesterday! Of course, they don’t fit. Now I have to send them back. It’s easier to take the One Ring back to Mount Doom than it is to return something to Net-a-Porter. Wish me…
