Enthralled by Versace Pre-Fall

December 29, 2009 by WendyB

Before the holidays, gorgeous blogger Jennine of The Coveted asked me if I would be interested in visiting Versace’s 5th Avenue store to check out the pre-fall collection. Jennine knows I have a good pre-2005 Versace collection thanks to Teresa, who was a stellar sales associate at the now-closed Versace boutique on Madison Avenue. Teresa…

Be Like WendyB in a Hairy Purple Jacket

December 5, 2008 by WendyB

For those of you who have thought, “If only I had a hairy purple jacket, I could be more like WendyB,” Miu Miu’s fringed tartan peacoat is reduced to $1,036 from $1,480 on Net-a-Porter. For inspiration, here I am, wearing my hairy purple jacket by Versace, with BarbaraB in 2007. UPDATED TO ADD: When I…

Old Yeller

November 17, 2008 by WendyB

Before you vote on a J.Crew corduroy color for me in my poll on the right, keep in mind that not only do I have this citron skirt, but I also have this one. I think the above skirt can safely be described as a “vintage” Versace, if we define vintage as “that skirt length…

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…

Paint Splatter Style on eBay

August 21, 2008 by WendyB

For people craving bleached-out jeans, this pair by Vertigo has a “buy it now” price of $72 on eBay. Or, you can get a seriously sex-ay Versace dress for $278. UPDATED TO ADD: A few gorgeous bloggers have created their own bleached-out jeans. Kirsty Lee at That’s Just My Vibe did a fantastic job. Kirsty…

The Color of Royalty

August 15, 2008 by WendyB

When Karla of Karla’s Closet modeled her peach American Apparel skirt recently, this anonymous comment made me laugh out loud: Oh how glad I am you didn’t choose the purple Barney-esque color. I think a lot of your style originality comes from the fact that you can wear just about any brand (I even dare…

Cream of the Cropped on eBay

June 22, 2008 by WendyB

While browsing eBay, this graphic, cropped jacket from Versace’s Versus line caught my eye. Gorgeous jacket, right? However, I don’t like that the seller used “Gianni Versace” in the title of the listing and saved the “Versus” information for the description. The title could have easily said “Versace Versus,” which would have been honest while…

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…
