Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival came up with a Minx manicure for me that’s so heavenly we named it “The Divine.” She layered gold lace-patterned Minx — designed by her manicurist friend Naja — over a burgundy layer for a stained-glass effect. Stained glass made us think of cathedrals, which made me think of one of…

Jewel of the Month: WTF Rings (on a Good Girl Gone Bad)
I unofficially revealed February’s Jewel of the Month over the weekend. I just couldn’t resist posting this photo of the WTF ring set — worn by model Tina J for my lookbook shoot — as soon as I got it. Here’s a closer look at the rings. These rings are sterling silver with adjustable bands…
Get Out Your Denim Shirt and Get on the Huffington Post
I’ve decided it’s time for another one of my fashion-blogger trend slideshows on the Huffington Post. My previous ones are: Red legs Leopard print Maxis Mullet (high/low) hemlines Snake print and color blocking Houndstooth Peplums My new theme is button-down denim shirts. I’m seeing them on all of you! If you want your picture to…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Black Mesh
When I saw a mesh-topped Hervé L. Leroux dress in US Magazine, I flashed back to a bodysuit I wore in the summer of 1993. Check out those mom jeans! That’s how we rolled back then. I also had no knowledge of flat irons, as you can tell from my hair. Flat irons are very…
My Best Dressed at the SAG Awards: Rose Byrne
I started watching the red-carpet coverage of the Screen Actors Guild Awards yesterday, but nothing caught my eye, so I moved on. Too many of the same pale shades we saw at the Golden Globes for me. I did see actress Rose Byrne being interviewed, but close-up only, so I just gave her bangs the…
OMG! WTF! I Can’t Control Myself!
My photographer Shane LaVancher just shared this incredible picture from my lookbook shoot. I can’t resist publishing it right this second, even though it gives away February’s Jewel of the Month — the WTF ring set — before that post is ready. I’ll write more about the new WTF rings next week. In addition to…
Behind the Scenes at the Lookbook Shoot
Yesterday, I had an eight-hour photoshoot for my new lookbook with model Tina J of Fusion Models. Every time I am at a shoot, I am shocked anew at how unglamorous a model’s day is. Poor Tina had to wedge rings onto her fingers over and over … then pry them off with some help…
Models and the Fickle Finger(s) of Fate
I had a go-see for models for my new lookbook on Monday. (This is the first time I’m using a model in a lookbook; we’re shooting it later today.) On a go-see, a model comes in with her portfolio, so you can see her in person and look at her photos. If the go-see is…
What Wendy Wore: Terrible Outfit Photo of the Day
Well, the outfit isn’t terrible … just the blurry photo is. It was too windy and cold out for a redo; I ran inside right after this. Whatever! If you want excellent jewelry, you’re on the right blog. If you want excellent outfit photography, go practically anywhere else. I have to pick my battles, and…
My Best Dressed at the Golden Globes: Piper Perabo
I’m giving my newly invented Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for the Golden Globes red carpet to Piper Perabo. The oversize skirt made her sheer ballgown from Theyskens’ Theory Spring 2012 collection fit for a queen. Embed from Getty Images This is the kind of red-carpet dressing I like. Beautiful, risky and totally…
