Slow-Fashion Sunday: Shoes That Last

September 4, 2022 by WendyB

I’ve had slow-fashion shoes on my mind for about a month now — ever since I took a long-delayed trip to Cobbler Concierge for some shoe repairs. I used to take shoes in need of TLC to “the guy around the corner.” (There’s always a guy around the corner in New York City.) But I’ve…

Throwback Thursday: Cold-Shoulder Top Has Its Moment

March 25, 2021 by WendyB

Ten years ago, I wore an outfit that made me look like Blanche Devereaux if she were trying to dress like a New Yorker. On casual day. That cold-shoulder turtleneck was already “old” to me at the time. I had gotten it on eBay years earlier, thinking it was going to look more punk, only…

What Wendy Wore: New Year’s Eves Through 2021

January 2, 2021 by WendyB

A lot of people say that New Year’s Eve is no fun, they never have anything to do, they’re never invited anywhere, yada yada yada. But why are y’all leaving things to chance? One thing I’ve learned in life is that if you want to have a party, your best bet is to throw your…

Wednesday’s Video: The Gold Lamé Toga Met Its Match

July 10, 2019 by WendyB

My newest YouTube video is a sequel. Part I came out in April, when I confessed that a vintage gold lamé toga by designer Stephen Burrows was a fashion mistake. I don’t make too many of those with vintage, but when I do, it’s a disco doozy. OG blogger Sheila from Ephemera — an expert…

Customer of the Day: A Is for Amanda

June 29, 2013 by WendyB

The customer of the day is a member of my Golden Girls Gang: Amanda. Amanda got one of my big, sterling-silver letter rings: an “A” for “Amanda.” I like that Amanda keeps me up-to-date on the ring’s activities. It goes for sushi … … visits Atlantic City … … takes tours of vineyards … ……

Join the Golden Girls Gang With a DVF Dress

January 11, 2012 by WendyB

Gorgeous food blogger and Golden Girls Gang OG Tina took time out from stalking moody rapper Joe Budden on Twitter to stalk gold dresses online. Okay, I’m the one who stalks Joe Budden but I like to pretend it’s Tina. Tina, however, really did alert me to this gold sequin Diane Von Furstenberg dress on…

What Wendy Wore: Gold Sequins for New Year’s Eve 2012

January 1, 2012 by WendyB

The color gold was on my mind as I got ready for New Year’s Eve. Much to my delight, it was on other people’s minds too. MrB and I gave gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman a ride to our dinner at Indochine. When Stacy turned up at our apartment wearing gold sequins that matched mine, I…

What Wendy Wore: Golden Girls Gang Does Vegas

November 7, 2011 by WendyB

Since 2008 — and inspired by a gold sequin Antik Batik dress — I’ve wanted to organize a terrifying gang called the Golden Girls. Membership would require the wearing of gold sequins, the ability to strike the WendyB pose and maybe a violent initiation ceremony just to keep things lively. I unexpectedly achieved my gangsta…
