I’m yearning for warmer weather in part because I miss wearing the vintage Philip Treacy hat I got last year. (It’s a good weight for spring, summer and fall, but too light for New York winters.) The hat has Andy Warhol’s portrait of Elizabeth Taylor on it and I love the way her lips match…

What Wendy Wore: Blanche Devereaux Does New York
For a number of years, I’ve celebrated my December 23 birthday with friends on New Year’s Eve. On my actual birthday, I have dinner with the family. This year, for the family dinner, I wanted to wear the L’Wren Scott sequined pants that I last wore in July 2009, just because they were past due…
Colorful Biker Jackets and ’80s Hair
In the early ’80s, when I was growing up in Mahwah, N.J., my younger sister, Terri Berry, had a weekly dance class in New York City. My mother and I would spend the time at Bloomingdale’s. Week after week, I gazed longingly at a pale pink and gray leather motorcycle-style jacket. I don’t think I…
What Wendy Wore: New Year’s Eve Photobombing
I hope you all had a good time ringing in the new year. I had my traditional New Year’s/belated birthday celebration at Balthazar (check out a decade of New Year’s fashions here). I finally wore the Zang Toi dress that I first ogled in Zang’s September 2009 show. It’s a spring dress so I added…

HostGator, Here I Am
I’ve moved the blog and my website to HostGator from GoDaddy. However, it takes up to 48 hours for the change to propagate. That means that for 48 hours, some of you are seeing the blog — and this message — on HostGator, while other peeps are still looking at the GoDaddy version of the…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Maluca’s Floral Jacket
Singer Maluca sashays down the street with curlers in her hair in her El Tigeraso video, but the style statement that really caught my eye was her orange-red-floral-on-black jacket. The color and print reminds me of the ’80s shirt that I wore in October. Next time I wear that shirt, I’ll pop in some curlers…
Light Up With Tron: Legacy, Tiger Morse and Diana Dew
I was excited to see Tron: Legacy-inspired light sandals by Edmundo Castillo in the New York Times on Sunday. This year was a banner one for light-up clothing. Singer Katy Perry’s multicolor CuteCircuit gown was my favorite fashion statement at May’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Christina Aguilera’s electric crotch at…
Requiescat in Pace
When I mentioned early this month that my Google Reader is a virtual graveyard of dormant, deleted and defunct blogs, a couple of people wanted to know more about the deceased. If you want to place a virtual pebble on a virtual grave, here’s a partial list (some are not linked because the old links…
The Multiple Meanings of Lipstick and Language
Because I’m known for my love of red lipstick, many gorgeous friends emailed me in a congratulatory fashion after scientists at Manchester University announced that men (or at least the 50 men in their study) like to stare at women’s lipsticked mouths, with red lipstick holding their attention the longest. But staring isn’t the same…
