I’ve always had a thing for shoes with lug soles (thick, rubber, work-boot style soles). I’ve coveted gorgeous designer Stacy Lomman’s white “brothel creeper” shoes for several years. And in 2008, I pined for YSL Trooper Pumps that didn’t come in my size. Sigh. I still want a pump just like this. I was psyched…

What Wendy Wore: Special Jewelry for Skylar Grey
For a couple of weeks, I was so fixated on seeing Skylar Grey perform at Le Poisson Rouge that I hardly know what to do with myself now that the show is over! I’ve been a big fan of Skylar’s since “Love the Way You Lie” came out in 2010. The song was performed by…
What Wendy Wore: A Shorts Story
I avoided wearing shorts for most of my adult life until 2010, when a New York City heat wave of 100+ degree weather made me break down and buy the first two pairs I saw at the closest air-conditioned store. I don’t know why shorts didn’t appeal to me for so long. I certainly wore…

What Wendy Wore: Sprouse, Versace and Jason Wu
I wore my neon-orange Stephen Sprouse jacket in London when I went to the “David Bowie Is” exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It looks washed-out in this weirdly lit photo, but it’s not like that in person. What Wendy Wore to the Museum Jacket: Vintage Stephen Sprouse (first seen in 2008) Top: Versace…
Pimm’s Fest 2013 and Other London Adventures
A week ago today, I was enjoying my annual Pimm’s Fest with my gorgeous London blogger friends. The fest started in 2008, when I met up with Sharon of Thrift My Style and the lovely lady behind the since-abandoned Times of Glory blog to shop Trudie Styler’s castoffs (why didn’t I buy more?! I’ve got…
Prada, My Design Process and Runway Bravery
I like this quote about jewelry from an interview that fashion designer Miuccia Prada did with the New York Times in May: “I’m interested in jewels … I know what it is: I only like antique jewelry because I like the stories attached to them. I like to know who was wearing them. It’s the…
What Wendy Wore: Crazy Castelbajac Coat in London
Remember how I said that while I was in Paris, I discovered an irresistible burlap/lightning-bolt dress at the Castelbajac store while I was in the midst of paying for a completely ridiculous trench coat? CLICK HERE TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY. This is the trench coat, photographed in London last week. What Wendy Wore Unseen sweater:…

Wendy Davis’s Sneakers, Anna Nicole & the Weeks in Review
Texas senator Wendy Davis stood and spoke for nearly 11 hours on Tuesday — a filibuster that derailed an effort to pass a harsh anti-abortion bill in the state senate. During the filibuster, she couldn’t eat, sit or even lean, so she wore pink Mizuno Wave Rider 16 sneakers for comfort. Because my name is Wendy…
