Fashion Repeats Itself: Rihanna Wears Black Mesh

February 8, 2012 by WendyB

Just a week ago, I did a Fashion Repeats Itself post comparing new black, mesh-topped dresses to a bodysuit I wore in 1993. On Sunday, Rihanna outdid the dress-wearing ladies by sporting a bodysuit JUST LIKE ME! Well, maybe not just like me. She forgot the mom jeans. The other thing Rihanna is missing is…

What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Peplum Dress, Again

February 7, 2012 by WendyB

Last week, gorgeous Mitria, who works at Fashion Group International, sent me one more photo from the January 26 Rising Star Awards. Here I am with jewelry designer and previous Rising Star winner Monica Rich Kosann, who presented me with my award. Monica was so sweet. After the lunch, she found me to give me…

Minx Manicure and Valentine’s Day Countdown, Day 3

February 3, 2012 by WendyB

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)

February 1, 2012 by WendyB

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…

Fashion Repeats Itself: Black Mesh

January 31, 2012 by WendyB

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

January 30, 2012 by WendyB

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!

January 28, 2012 by WendyB

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

January 26, 2012 by WendyB

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

January 25, 2012 by WendyB

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…
