Grow Your Own Vintage by Breaking the Rules

February 8, 2010 by WendyB

This might come as a shock to some of you no one, but I like to break the rules. That’s because a lot of rules are not hard-and-fast rules at all, but misinterpreted suggestions or theories. One of those is the need for eight glasses of water a day. Not true. Feel free to go…

Gloria in Alaia

February 6, 2010 by WendyB

I met fellow jewelry designer Gloria at a dinner party. When she came in, everyone stopped chatting to admire her exquisite Alaia coat. I was hoping our coats would get mixed up in the closet so that she would get mine and I would get hers, but no such luck.

My Carnac Moment With Zac Posen

February 4, 2010 by WendyB

Former Tonight Show host Johnny Carson used to do a bit about a psychic named Carnac the Magnificent. Get me a giant turban, people, because I am having a Carnac moment after reading today’s New York Times story on Zac Posen, The Trials of a Former Boy Wonder. It quotes Posen, a pre-crash success story…

Lady Gaga at the Grammys

January 31, 2010 by WendyB

I was half-asleep next to a coffee-table book about the Hours of Catherine of Cleves when I realized the Grammy red carpet must be underway. I dashed to the TV and turned it on just in time to hear, “And that was Lady Gaga.” Luckily, gorgeous blogger Karen of Where Did U Get That tweeted…

Three Bloggers, Two Hats, One Ring

January 29, 2010 by WendyB

One of my jewelers has developed a passion for taking videos with his iPhone.  Here I am looking dubious about it. I’m wearing the hat gorgeous blogger Jennine got for me at Tar-Jay. I think it’s a lot better than this chicken hat that I tried on while out on the town with another gorgeous…

Stripes Gone Wild

January 28, 2010 by WendyB

I want to wear this dress the next time I see stripe-loving blogger Deja Pseu. The Wall Street Journal says stripes are in, and I believe everything I read in the Wall Street Journal … except for the editorial page, of course.

Epic Outfit Post: Electric Lady Gaga Land

January 22, 2010 by WendyB

I saw Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday and she kicked so much ass that I’m traumatized … traumatized that I didn’t get tickets for a second night. What was I thinking? I should have known once wasn’t enough! I realized that about Madonna years ago and now I always buy tickets…

Roma-Ro-Ma-Ma! Gaga-Ooh-La-La!

January 22, 2010 by WendyB

Honest to God, I was a very shy child… …but that was a long time ago, little monsters. More about the Lady Gaga concert soon (that’s my souvenir t-shirt above). Also, thanks to all of you who have posted and tweeted about Janet, as well as everyone who has generously donated and/or purchased a Teeny…

Help a Blogger in Need

January 21, 2010 by WendyB

I’ve got bad news for you. Blogger Janet of Je Ne Sais Quoi (also known by her blogging identity, iheartfashion) suffered a tragic loss this week when her husband took his own life. He had been unemployed for a period of time. Janet has two children, ages 7 and 9. She needs some financial help….

Minx Manicure #3: J.Lo, Beyonce and WendyB*

January 20, 2010 by WendyB

I don’t get manicures as often as I should, considering that wearing large rings is a requirement for my business and people are always looking at my hands. I get so bored during manicures that I delay until I realize that broken-off nails of varying lengths are distracting people from the beauty of, for instance,…
