In the meantime, I told you I…

What Wendy Wore: FNO: The Show
I went to Lincoln Center last night for FNO: The Show, the ginormous, star-studded outdoor fashion show (Gisele! Naomi!) intended to get people jazzed to shop on Fashion’s Night Out this Friday. At first I was sad that I was inside Alice Tully Hall viewing the livestream of the event (courtesy of American Express) rather…
What Wendy Didn’t Wear: A Smile, a Skirt, a Smiling Skirt
According to the calendar, there are two weeks of summer left, but we all know that Labor Day weekend is when the season really ends. I figured I’d go to the beach and hide my depression about the coming cold months and shorter days with the help of a smiling Castelbajac skirt I got in…

What Wendy Will Wear: Dress by Zang Toi
What timing! Right after my post about how sample sizes, by definition, don’t fit the vast majority of people right off the rack, Tia from The Quest for “it” posted about the sample sale I had with my designing friend Zang Toi last month. Conveniently, she took a picture of Zang personally altering a red-cashmere…
One Sample Size Does Not Fit All. Deal With It.
Did you know the world revolved around voluptuous Mad Men star Christina Hendricks? Neither did I! Fortunately, I read New York Magazine’s The Cut blog, which alerted me to the fact via a story about Hendricks that ran in the The Daily Record of Scotland. The Record quoted her as saying: “People have been saying…
Blogs, Brands, Bullshizz
The front-page story in WWD today is “Advertisers Go Social: Brand-Blogger Linkups Marketings’ New Rage.” Gorgeous blogger Jennine (of The Coveted and Independent Fashion Bloggers) is quoted extensively in the article. I’m glad the story highlighted Jennine’s “IFB Fair Compensation Manifesto” and her criticism of the Coach Poppy ad campaign, in which 334 bloggers were…
What Wendy Wore: Nautical for Nautica
Nautica invited a group of fashion bloggers for cocktails and a boat ride last night. Just what I’d been waiting for! A second chance to wear my new Castelbajac sailor outfit. Gorgeous bloggers Midtown Girl, Jordana, Julia and Tricia were amused to see me dressed in costume. What Wendy Wore Top: Castelbajac (2010) Pants: Castelbajac…

Foot Fetish: World’s Sexiest Rain Boots
In 2007, I wrote about my search for attractive rain boots and my high-school-era dislike of duck shoes. If only these over-the-knee, high-heeled duck boots by Tommy Hilfiger had been available back in the day. While I’m in the “if only” mode … if only Sergio Rossi made these over-the-knee rain boots with heels! You’d…
