Handsome blogger Thomas of The Sunday Best has proposed to his gorgeous GF Sharon … and yes, she accepted! I’m excited to have created the Asscher-cut engagement ring for the lovely couple. This is the first engagement ring I’ve done for a blogger. Congratulations, Thomas and Sharon!

Designer Pissiness
To me, the most interesting thing about tonight’s Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is designer Azzedine Alaia’s pisstacular reaction to being left out of the “Model as Muse” exhibit: after fitting seven models for dresses, he asked the ladies not to wear them. As a result, Alaia fans Naomi Campbell and…
I Feel Old
I wore these Dolce & Gabbana shoes today. I’m sure I got them over five years ago. I wore them with a black James Perse dress from 2002 and a white leather Jill Stuart jacket from the ’90s. I found this movie ticket stub from 2000 in the jacket pocket. Typically, I’m out of sync…
Dinner and Drinks, Zig-Zag Edition
At dinner last night, my gorgeous friend Angela had the bartender do a customized margarita in my honor. We haven’t finalized the recipe yet, so I can’t reveal the blog-inspired name of my drink. It’s not the WendyB. Drink by AngelaTop by Francis by Christian Francis Roth Enchiladas by Papatzul
Two Jills
In February, gorgeous blogger Jill of Trend de la Creme did a funny post on the evolution of the mud flap girl. Another gorgeous blogger named Jill, who had already purchased two pairs of cufflinks from me for her lucky husband, was inspired. She emailed me to ask if I could make special mud flap…
Zang Toi, Now in Cartoon Form
I previously mentioned that my designing friend Zang Toi made a guest appearance on The Real Housewives of New York City. Thanks to that, he’s now in cartoon form in this Real Housewives parody. I want all my friends to have cartoon alter-egos!
I’ve Seen a Ghost (Tailor)
I’ve mentioned Jean, the proprietress of Ghost Tailor, quite a few times on this blog. I found Jean when I was desperately looking for someone to alter some sweaters for me. No one wants to alter sweaters, which baffles me. It’s not like the sweaters grow on the sheep in ready-to-wear condition. (Designer to sheep:…
Designer and Muse?
Gala Mitchell was one of designer Ossie Clark‘s favorite models. I’m not sure it’s accurate to describe her as his muse — or one of his muses — but she’s definitely striking the right pose in this great picture. Ossie Clark fits a dress on Gala Mitchell.Click to enlarge. Gala’s hair and eyebrows make her…
Acne Outlet
I’m loving that Acne, my favorite jeans brand, now has an online outlet. I finally broke down and got the loose-fitting Generic Girl jeans in peach. I first admired those last July. I wound up getting the style in blue, but always regretted missing the peach. No more regrets!
