Throwback Thursday: OG Bloggers and Leopard Week

March 21, 2019 by WendyB

I’m so thankful that a few other “original gangster” fashion bloggers are still blogging away, just like me. I share a decade-long history with people like Judith from Style Crone and Sheila from Ephemera. Those mutual memories are treasures, as illustrated by Sheila after she watched my recent video about designer Patrick Kelly The video…

What Wendy Wore: Vienna, Dressy and Casual

September 16, 2017 by WendyB

I’ve done Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday posts this week. I’m not sure how today’s post should be categorized. Seen-Before Saturday? Near the end of MrB’s working vacation in Europe, we attended the Global Editors Network Summit’s Data Journalism Awards dinner in Vienna. MrB is president of the awards, so he did some speaking and…

Wednesday’s Video: Betsey Johnson and More Edie

May 24, 2017 by WendyB

Catch me talking about my “homegrown vintage” Betsey Johnson leopard jacket in my new YouTube video! This video builds on last week’s, which referenced style icon Edie Sedgwick, because Edie was Betsey’s fit model in the 1960s. This jacket is especially dear to me because the late New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham photographed me…

Throwback Thursday: Patrick Kelly Dress X 5, Plus Shania & Kylie

July 17, 2014 by WendyB

I have a new obsession: collages of the same outfit in different years. I’ve always shown the outfit photos on my blog, but last month I decided to make some into collages and now I can’t stop! Here is my beloved Patrick Kelly leopard gown, from the late designer’s Fall/Winter 1989 collection, photographed in 2008,…

Throwback Thursday: One Dress in 2002, 2010 and Today

June 26, 2014 by WendyB

After I did yesterday’s post on “dresses through the years,” I did a collage of the oldest dress — a Versace — for Facebook. Here it is. Click to enlarge! That inspired me to do another collage for Throwback Thursday with an even older dress. This leopard-print Diane von Furstenberg has been on the blog…

The Weeks in Review

May 4, 2014 by WendyB

The past two weeks have been wild around here! The big news was the announcement that the Columbia Daily Spectator — the undergraduate newspaper of my alma mater, Columbia University — would focus on its website, while reducing its printing schedule from five times a week to once a week. As the chairman of the…

The Philadelphia Museum of Art celebrated its Patrick Kelly “Runway of Love” exhibit with an opening night party on Saturday. MrB, gorgeous designing friend Stacy Lomman and I put on our party clothes and drove to Philly for the celebration. I’m a big fan of Kelly, who died — too young, of AIDS — on…

What Wendy Wore: Dolce & Gabbana and Rihanna’s Necklace

March 25, 2013 by WendyB

I sure do love leopard print, and one of my major fashion regrets is that I missed out on a two-toned leopard-print dress by Dolce & Gabbana in 2010. After I saw this bit of perfection on Rihanna I searched for it everywhere but to no avail. It was sold out in my size. I’m…
