This Has Grrrrr-own on Me

September 8, 2008 by WendyB

I’ve gone from being amused by this kitschy Maison Martin Margiela bag to craving it. The style of my bad-ass blonde friend from 1983 must be influencing me, because you know she would have loved this bag. She probably would have hung a feathered roach clip from it. Unfortunately, a wolf bag is not something…

Melissa Goes Gamine

September 7, 2008 by WendyB

When my gorgeous client Melissa told me she had gotten a pixie haircut, I insisted she take a photo. Click to enlarge.Check out Melissa’s previous hairstyle here. I was thrilled by how glamorous she looks. Those big shades are just right with that cut. And I had to agree with her comment, “I think my…

eBay Items of Interest

September 6, 2008 by WendyB

Check out this stunning, star-trimmed trench by Viktor & Rolf. Too bad one of the stars is showing some serious fraying and the starting bid is still 410 pounds ($725.17)! I wouldn’t mind the fraying if the coat had “bargain” potential. I’ll have to keep an eye on this just to see if anyone bids….

Oh. Henry.

September 5, 2008 by WendyB

I managed to fall asleep “early” tonight (before 1 a.m.). Guess who woke me up at 3 a.m. to ask me for a drink of water and a stroll? Now I can’t fall back to sleep. While I’m awake, I may as well thank gorgeous blogger Skybluepink for giving me this award. I heart you…

New Girl in Town

September 4, 2008 by WendyB

I went to hairstylist-to-the-stars Keith Carpenter today and told him I wanted to look like “the new girl in town.” What does that mean? We don’t know! Anyway, this is how I look. Not much different, I suppose. It is shorter, though.

Oh, You Lacy Girl!

September 2, 2008 by WendyB

After being a hot source of latex-look leggings, Kova & T has moved on to lace. I’ve posted the skirt or the leggings, but my favorite is this sex-ay lace dress. Kova & T Renata lace dress$352 on Shopbop If you prefer just a touch of lace, take a look at this beautiful Viktor &…

Fashion Moments in France

September 2, 2008 by WendyB

As I mentioned, we took a quick trip (arrived Friday, left Monday) to St. Tropez to celebrate the marriage of our gorgeous friends Scott and Isabelle. Here I am, blowin’ in the wind in my several-years-old Versace dress, at the beautiful chateau where Scott and Isabelle hosted us. Later, that dog woke up and ate…

Career Options

August 28, 2008 by WendyB

Today’s my lucky day. There is a “quality control technician” job opening at Cadbury. But does “organoleptic testing” mean “eating candy”? Because I could do that. Here’s the description: Provide laboratory technical support for all product preparation and production areas, with respect to the physical, chemical, and organoleptic testing of raw, packaging, and finished product….
