I dropped by my pop-up shop space on Sunday to take some final measurements and found two lovely ladies in temporary residence, doing their own pop-up shop. The owners of Poppet Vintage and Tahir Boutique showed me their vintage wares, including this blouson Koos Van Den Akker Couture dress. When I asked them to show…

Once in a while you put on a dress and think, “This is so ME!” and feel super-special all night. When that happened to me last week, I took an outfit picture so that y’all could share in the super-special feeling. But! I’m going to keep you in suspense for a little bit. I didn’t…
Jimmy Choo for H&M and … Duck!
I walked by H&M on 5th Avenue yesterday and saw workers literally rolling out the red carpet for the launch of the Jimmy Choo collection today. If — no, WHEN! — I do the WendyB line for H&M, I promise that all you blog roll bitches are going to prance down the red carpet and…

Tricky Pick of the Day
I have a weakness for trompe l’oeil clothing: Trompe l’oeil stitched motorcycle jacket Trompe l’oeil safety pin skirt Trompe l’oeil zipper dress Trompe l’oeil ribbon neckline dress Trompe l’oeil Lego dress But I don’t like wearing a “crisp white shirt.” The fact that a “crisp white shirt” is supposed to be a wardrobe staple irks…

Henry Is Coveted
Last week, I had the pleasure of having gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted as my houseguest for the second time in a month. We had grand plans for various photo shoots but they all fell apart. The only picture I got of Jennine was a rare one of her in her lounging-around clothes, hanging…
Outfit Post: A Stitch in Time
I don’t love being in front of a camera. I have one look: a big smile. If I don’t smile, my eyes are still smiling. If my eyes aren’t smiling, I look sad instead of serious or sexy. Plus I’m always disappointed that I don’t look like a young Sophia Loren in the pictures. Inside,…
L’Chaim
Life Magazine, the photojournalism magazine, was launched as a weekly publication by Time Magazine owner Henry Luce in 1936. When I worked at People Magazine, which was started many decades later by the same corporate parent, I was based in the Time-Life building. The weekly version of Life was shut down in 1972, but the…
