I don’t know how I persuaded petite fashion dynamo Tavi of Style Rookie to use my jewelry in two beautiful Polyvore sets quite some time ago. An even bigger mystery is why I never shared them here. Better late than never, I always say, especially when I’m very late. Here they are. wendy b! by…

Francis Graffiti Dress Plus Tights
I had a fabulous time tonight with my gorgeous friends Shari and Ashley at Christian Francis Roth‘s studio. But I consumed so much Champagne that I totally forgot to take pictures, even though the ladies looked awesome in his clothes! I hope they will humor me by sending me some photos of their purchases. In…

A vintage Patrick Kelly leopard print gown just like mine is available for $725 on 1stdibs.* (Thanks to gorgeous blogger Cherie of Shrimpton Couture for pointing this out to me.)

Smile and the World Smiles With You
I don’t know why I love this Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sweater, but I do. Gorgeous blogger ENC of Observationmode says, “Now you need to get it, put it on, then spill the filling from a raspberry jelly-filled donut down the front so it will look like it was shot in the head.” That would be…
eBay Pick of the Day
I’m mad about this leather jacket by Jean Claude Jitrois. It’s got everything: unusual colors, an asymmetrical zipper, a belt, lacing on the sides and a big ol’ horse (with jockey) on the front. Click here to see all the pictures on eBay. If you bid, don’t forget to snipe! The jacket reminds me of…
Lick It Up, Baby. Lick. It. Up.
Darlings, it’s after 2 AM and I have to get up before noon for a change, so I don’t have time to tell you all that happened to me last night. Here’s the short version: I got an awesome new Francis by Christian Francis Roth piece that I’m calling the “Erica Jong dress.” (Christian’s name…
Coco Chanel Was Wrong; Broken English Is Right
Coco Chanel supposedly said, “Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and remove one accessory.” I’ve always wondered if she really said this. After all, she promoted wearing gobs of costume-jewelry chains. That doesn’t seem very minimalist to me. Anyway, whether or not she said it, people love to quote these alleged words…
New York Fashion Week Frocks
It’s always fun to dress up for New York Fashion Week. In addition to the two tartan dresses I wore on Friday, I’ve worn dresses I’ll describe as new-old, old-old and new-new. For Fashion’s Night Out, I went with new-old. This Ossie Clark dress was made more than 30 years ago. I won it on…
Leader of the Pack, Part III
Gorgeous friend and client Jane emailed me last week to point out an Alexander McQueen poison ring on Net-a-Porter. “You were ahead of the poison ring curve!!!” she exclaimed. Here are pictures of the McQueen ring. If you want more information about it … well, find it yourself! I ain’t gonna link to someone else’s…
Tartan Two Ways and a Broken Clock
On Friday, I wore Zang Toi’s tartan dress to his Spring 2010 show, then changed into a tartan Francis dress for my Fashion’s Night Out after-party at Christian Francis Roth’s studio. Zang’s presentation was in his showroom. Before it started, I was pondering Miss Universe’s French pedicure until Ivana Trump sat down in front of…
