Get in My Belly!

August 14, 2007 by WendyB

These food pictures are so cute. Couldn’t you just die? Blogger B.Lush borrowed them from her BF and now I am borrowing them from her. I really hope you don’t mind, B.Lush, but these have to be shared with as many people as possible!

Bluefly Lies About Acne Jeans?

August 13, 2007 by WendyB

I find it very annoying when a store fibs about the original retail price of an item in order to make a sale look better. I recently posted about a sale on Acne Jeans, Hex style, Radison wash. Just now, I spotted some Acne items on Bluefly and was ready to share that information when…

She’s Not a Playboy Bunny

August 13, 2007 by WendyB

She’s a fashionista rabbit! I love the whimsical drawings of Fifi Lapin, who models all the latest styles. I am especially amused by her bio (“I was born one of 257 brothers and sisters…”) but my all-time favorite entry is, of course, Fifi dreaming of Ossie Clark.Above, me in one of my Ossies. I’d like…

Pink J. Crew Jacket

August 13, 2007 by WendyB

I haven’t shopped at J. Crew in years and years (though I remember in those pre-Internet days ordering by phone from their catalog in the middle of the night). But I’m intrigued by this pink jacket. There’s some nice detail on the back and it comes in several other colors as well. Get it here.

Lynn Yeager, Village Voice Fashion Writer

August 13, 2007 by WendyB

Just to show I don’t always wait till someone’s dead to appreciate them, here’s a photo of another great fashion character, Lynn Yeager of the Village Voice. I’ve read an interview where she talks about her unique and (for many people) controversial personal style; I’m desperately trying to find it to share with you. Whatever…

Isabella Blow in September Vanity Fair

August 13, 2007 by WendyB

The current issue of Vanity Fair (Gisele is on the cover) has an interesting article about Isabella Blow, the late, great fashionista and discoverer of Alexander McQueen and Philip Treacy. The article goes into great detail about her depression and the suicide attempts that led to her death. For someone of my macabre nature, I’m…

Green Is Your Dior

August 12, 2007 by WendyB

I was trying to describe these shoes to the charming In Yr Fshn. To make things easier, I’m scanning the ad. If this looks a little blotchy, blame the Snapple I spilled on it, rather than the beautiful Kermit-colored platforms. (The title of this post refers to a fantastic ’70s ad campaign.) UPDATED TO ADD:…

I Can See Clearly Now…

August 11, 2007 by WendyB

the rain is gone. After some bad storms here in NYC, the sun is shining brightly. But if you want to be chic in the next downpour, you should prepare now lest you find yourself buying one of those ugly $5 jobs off the street. Give Rihanna’s umbrella-ella-ellas a pass and check out Rain or…

This One Is for the Dog People

August 10, 2007 by WendyB

This One Is for the Dog People

I found a blog called Dog Art Today, “devoted to daily dog art from around the world.” I should clarify that while I love dogs, I don’t dress mine up in little outfits (well, they each have one winter coat for very, very cold days) or carry them around in my purse. Regarding the purse…
