I’ve already credited Rihanna with kicking off the trend for voluminous dresses with the pink Giambattista Valli gown she wore to the 2015 Grammys. A full three years later, as celebrities vie to wear not just the best, but the biggest dress on the red carpet, it’s official: Rihanna’s 2015 choice was a true “Never…

Give Me Distance and Respect
I love this tweet. As a woman, I just want the same rights as a rattlesnake. pic.twitter.com/JQIFDoDTUL — Jackie Carbajal (@jackiecarbajal) February 22, 2018 As if I needed another good reason to keep designing snake-themed jewelry! Took my pet snake for a walk yesterday because it was so nice out 🐍 ☀️ #jewelrydesigner #ring #snakering…
What Wendy Wore: Slow Fashion for Valentine’s Week
MrB and I went to Blue Water Grill for a Valentine’s Day dinner last week. I considered taking the holiday theme to the extreme by wearing my vintage Moschino heart dress, but I ultimately opted for Valentine’s-red boots instead. Much to my delight, the next day, Elle declared that red boots are the new white…
Sans Fards Selfie
I’ve always been semi-irritated, semi-amused by celebrity photos shoots that make a big fuss about their subjects being sans fards — wearing no makeup. Maybe it’s because I work for myself, and most days I don’t wear any makeup (or even much in the way of clothing). I see myself bare-faced all the time, so…
My Best Dressed at the 2018 Grammys Is …
While there were many 2018 Grammys fashion statements worthy of honorable mentions, there was one clear winner of my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award. That winner is not Andra Day, but she came so close in her candy-colored, custom-made Victoria Hayes tuxedo gown. Embed from Getty Images This dress was my personal…
My “Almost” Best Dressed at the 2018 Grammys Are …
There’s so much to be said about the 2018 Grammys — who won, who should have won, the way Recording Academy president Neil Portnow said more women would win if they just worked harder (fuck you, Neil, the average woman works twice as hard as a dude like you). I’m going to have to save…
Wednesday’s Video: Get the FACTS
I collect a lot of things — vintage clothes, squish-faced animals, dust — but baseball caps are not on the list. I’m not very sporty, to say the least. In fact, I can’t remember ever noticing a baseball cap until late last year, when I saw a guy wearing a snapback embroidered with the word…
Jewelry for My Imaginary Golden Globes Outfit
Yesterday, I showed you the two outfits I would have chosen between if I’d had gone to the Golden Globes last Sunday. Here’s a closer look at the jewelry I would have worn with either outfit — all my own designs, of course. (I had to raid the vault for this little photo shoot!) From…
Wednesday’s Video: The Golden Globes and Your Vote
I think I should be invited to all major red-carpet events just to prove that I can shop my closet for every occasion! Like on Sunday, when I was watching the Golden Globes, I thought of two outfits immediately. The dress code called for black, and I’ve been in a pantsuit kind of mood, so…
My Best Dressed at the 2018 Golden Globes Is …
There was a blackout at the Golden Globes tonight: The majority of the attendees wore black to promote the newly established Time’s Up campaign against sexual harassment in all industries. Embed from Getty Images The Time’s Up initiative was announced Monday with an open letter signed by 300 prominent women in the entertainment industry. It…
