Wednesday’s Video: The Golden Globes and Your Vote
I think I should be invited to all major red-carpet events just to prove that I can shop my closet for every occasion! Like on Sunday, when I was watching the Golden Globes, I thought of two outfits immediately. The dress code called for black, and I’ve been in a pantsuit kind of mood, so…
How Tiffany Haddish Got One Woman on Inside Edition
Over the weekend, Tiffany Haddish became the first female African-American comedian to host Saturday Night Live in its 42-year existence (and she killed it!).

What Wendy Wore: Prada Lip Dress From 2012
On Wednesday, I went to the 50th-anniversary fundraising dinner for the State University of New York’s Educational Opportunity Program. The EOP provides college access and support to low-income students in New York State — young adults who are often the first ones in their families to go to college. These students haven’t had the advantages…
Throwback Thursday: What Wendy Wore in January
Yesterday, I finally got around to writing about January’s Columbia Spectator fundraising dinner, at which Dan Rather was the keynote speaker. So it seems like the right time for the outfit post from that evening. This one has a guest star: my right-hand woman and branding chief, Eryn Patton, who joined me for the dinner….
