Nine years ago — minus just one day! — I published a post called, “Why Does Buyer’s Guilt Focus on Fashion?” In it, I wrote: “I’m always annoyed at how a fashion is incorrectly perceived as a woman’s topic, and therefore trivialized and criticized. We’re told we should feel bad about it even though men…

What Wendy Wore: Outfits on Repeat in 2015
I like slow fashion and homegrown vintage. Here are some of my favorite old looks, re-worn in 2015. Whenever I wear my sex-ay Pilgrim dress by Donald Brooks Couture, I enjoy it so much that I wear it again almost immediately. I originally wore the dress in 2004 to the Committee to Protect Journalists awards…
What Wendy Wore: Three Journalism Events
I went to three journalism-related events in eight days last month! The first was a lunch for the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Courage in Journalism Awards on October 21. The IWMF describes the awards as honoring “women journalists who set themselves apart by their extraordinary bravery,” and this year’s awardees are true heroes. Mwape Kumwenda…
Hanging Out With Platinum Guild International
Tonight, the fine folks of Platinum Guild International had a little soirée for designers and press at Parlor. I had designs from my Punk Platinum collection on display. I also brought my one-of-a-kind Luna ring, which is set with 1.90 carats of diamonds and a South Sea pearl. Who knew it would look so good…
What Wendy Wore: Oh, These Old Things
My friend Jim Pensiero retired after 31 years at the Wall Street Journal, and there was a huge party for him tonight at Brasserie Ruhlmann in Rockefeller Center. I belatedly realized that I should have worn the Lolita Lempicka suit and Lillie Rubin coat that I bought when I worked at the Journal from 1992…
What Wendy Wore: Versace to the Loeb Awards
MrB and I went last night’s Gerald Loeb Awards, which, as the Loebs website explains, “honor excellence in business and financial journalism that both informs and protects the private investor and the general public.” I wrote about the Loeb Awards in 2010 when my gorgeous friend Alix Freedman — formerly of the Wall Street Journal,…
What Wendy Wore: Hanging With My Vegas Gems
I’m still recovering from JCK Las Vegas, the gigantic jewelry trade show that took place over the weekend. It’s not Vegas-style partying that exhausts me. It’s seeing hundreds of thousands of jewelry styles in one place that’s exhausting! The highlight of any JCK experience is meeting up with my group of amazing social-media wimmin friends,…

White Hot? Already Got!
I’m pleased to see that US Magazine says white pantsuits are hot. I can shop my closet for that look. I have a white Versace pantsuit that I bought in 2003. The most recent photo I have of it is from 2007 and the picture is really tiny! Time to bring it out again and…
What Wendy Wore: Ben and Beau at Columbia Spectator Dinner
My six-year term as chairman of the Columbia Daily Spectator‘s board of alumni trustees came to a merry end on January 30. That’s when the news organization for Columbia University’s undergraduates held its annual fundraising dinner, which this year featured guest speakers Ben Smith, editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed, and Beau Willimon, showrunner/writer of House of Cards….
