I’m a big fan of Cakespy and her L’il Cuppie cupcake character. It made my day to find out that Bakerella had baked a L’il Cuppie of her own a while back. As if it that weren’t enough, she made a cute video with it. Where was I the day someone was handing out all…

I’d Like to Thank the Little People
I’d like to thank the little people — the dwarfs AND the midgets — who helped me on my way to the top. Now that I’ve won this prestigious award, I promise I won’t change a bit except for the fact that I won’t return your calls and I’m only going to hang out with…

Miu Miu’s Lady Harlequins
I like to look at these Lady Harlequin tunics from Miu Miu, both available on sale at Net-a-Porter. (They’ve been marked down further since the beginning of the week. Exciting!) Luxenoir has a photo of Anna Dello Russo from Vogue Nippon wearing the first one here. And Fashion Birdcage has a post about the harlequin…
Surprise!
I didn’t expect this, but my Marie Claire essay is now available online. I hope you peeps who bought the magazine won’t be demanding a refund. You did get an extra photo in the print version. Maybe that counts for something. I will give you two more photos here. When we did the shoot for…

A Tribute to YSL’s Mondrian Tribute
One of the most memorable pieces designed by the late Yves Saint Laurent was his Mondrian dress. Photo from the Metropolitan Museum of Art Since the original isn’t too easy to come by, you can pay tribute in Diane Von Furstenberg’s Mondian dress. The red version is on sale at Bergdorf Goodman for $251, down…
Hello, Gorgeous!
Still love these shoes. They’ve gone on sale since I first noticed them in April. If you wear a 40 or a 41, you can buy them here. If you’re not the right size, you can console yourself with this hilarious post from Grant Miller. Speaking of shoes, I’ve been getting a lot of use…
WendyB in Marie Claire
I finally have seen my essay in the July issue of Marie Claire! First of all, I must thank my wonderful editor, Abby Pesta, for taking such good care of me. Secondly, I must call my dermatologist for Restylane and/or a face lift. I’m a little traumatized by the photos, especially since I haven’t seen…
Unite to Fight Content Thieves
Lately, I’ve been plagued by “blogs” that are picking up my content and presenting it as their own. In at least one case, the entire “blog” consisted of posts that were lifted from all of you fashion-blogging bitches. I recognized all the posts! That one was on WordPress. I reported it via this link and…
