Throwback Thursday: Slow-Fashion Summer

October 24, 2019 by WendyB

I never got around to blogging a bunch of summer outfits. Honestly, the activism is taking a lot out of me these days, and blogging has definitely suffered. Anyway, here are my two most notable looks for July — both with #slowfashion elements, of course. I was casual for our 18th anniversary dinner on July…

What Wendy Wore: Slow Fashion for Valentine’s Week

February 19, 2018 by WendyB

MrB and I went to Blue Water Grill for a Valentine’s Day dinner last week. I considered taking the holiday theme to the extreme by wearing my vintage Moschino heart dress, but I ultimately opted for Valentine’s-red boots instead. Much to my delight, the next day, Elle declared that red boots are the new white…

Throwback Thursday: 1 Wedding, 1 Anniversary

August 3, 2017 by WendyB

My gorgeous friend Alyssa Brownell and her fabulous man, Robert, got married last month. Alyssa wore my 18K gold tiara, as I’ve mentioned. The entire day was beautiful. There were a lot of happy tears during the ceremony in the awe-inspiring Church of St. Francis Xavier. Saturday afternoon church … #notmyusualsaturday #wedding A post shared…

What Wendy Wore: Halloween With Ringo Starr

November 2, 2015 by WendyB

I like to catch Ringo Starr‘s show whenever he’s in town, so I got tickets for his October 31 concert at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn. I figured I’d dress the part of a Beatles fan in the “Mod girl” outfit I’d worn once before for Halloween. It wasn’t until last week that I realized I’d…

What Wendy Wore: George Wein’s 90th Birthday Celebration

October 12, 2015 by WendyB

Last Thursday, MrB and I went to a dinner in honor of George Wein’s 90th birthday. George produced the first Newport Jazz Festival in 1954, and the celebration at City Winery doubled as a fundraiser for the nonprofit Newport Festivals Foundation. There were amazing musical performances throughout the evening. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a program…

What Wendy Wore: Vintage Ungaro to “Hamilton”

September 22, 2015 by WendyB

MrB and I went to the Broadway production of hot-hot-hot musical Hamilton tonight. Despite the uniformly rave reviews for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop interpretation of Ron Chernow’s 2005 biography of Alexander Hamilton, I was dreading the evening a little. I was originally supposed to see Hamilton on March 26, when it was downtown at the Public…

What Wendy Wore: Southpaw Premiere

July 21, 2015 by WendyB

People say that every boxing movie has the same plot and maybe that’s true (except for Million Dollar Baby, because the hero normally doesn’t get killed by adrenaline injection), but it doesn’t mean a movie can’t excel within that range. I was blown away by the Southpaw premiere last night, as was everyone around me…

What Wendy Wore: That 4th of July Outfit Again

July 4, 2015 by WendyB

I got my Independence Day look on one day early, for last night’s outing to the rooftop lounge at Ink48. I highly recommend the view there. I wore my Castelbajac sailor outfit, which I like to get out on or around July 4. I mean, when else can you wear something like this? What Wendy…

What Wendy Wore: Versace Dress From 2004 New Year’s Eve

January 2, 2015 by WendyB

If you read this post about what I wore for New Year’s Eve in 1994 and 2004, you must have figured out that I was going to wear the red Versace dress from 2004 again. I can’t resist a 10-year fashion anniversary. What Wendy Wore for New Year’s Eve Dress: Versace (2004) Shoes: Prada (pre-2005)…
