This double-layer Minx manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival (yes, I call her “celebrity manicurist” to her face) is named “Leaf Me Alone.” It’s a transparent layer of Minx adorned with silver leaves applied over an opaque gold layer. (What’s Minx? Click here and here for more information.) In the photo above, I’m holding a…

What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Dress for Tina’s Birthday
My gorgeous friend Tina the Occasional Cook had a Solid Gold-themed birthday party last night. Actually, as I’m writing this, she’s still having the party. I left just minutes ago while an enthusiastic karaoke rendition of Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer” was still in progress. You know that song: The perfect outfit for a…
Houndstooth on Huffington Post
Go over to the Huffington Post’s Stylelist section today for my story about bloggers wearing the houndstooth trend. Don’t forget to leave some nice comments for the participants! I discovered two more houndstooth-wearing bloggers after deadline, so I’ll share them now (click their photos to visit their blogs). Here’s Sal of Already Pretty wearing a…
A Tip of My Hats to You
I’m not a huge hat person, but I do like berets (and hats with Elizabeth Taylor on them). I’ve worn a fuzzy white beret for at least four years. I’m very tempted to upgrade to one of the leopard-spotted Eugenia Kim berets that I saw on Red Carpet Fashion Awards. If I decide to go…
What Wendy Wore: Vintage Peplum Jacket
The peplum has made one of its periodic comebacks as a fashion trend. The look brings back fond memories of a structured black cotton jacket with a peplum that I wore in the early ’90s. I had a few tailored pieces by Teenflo for work back then and the jacket might have been one of…
Style Icon: Walt “Clyde” Frazier
In the ’90s, I lived with a roommate in a nice-enough apartment building. We had a doorman, a marble lobby and the location was decent — not too far from the subway — but it definitely wasn’t Park Avenue. One day, I saw a tall, elegant man in the elevator. He was wearing the most…
Meet the WendyB Team and Bid Adieu to Steve Jobs
After I asked for pictures of people wearing my team colors of black and denim, I didn’t get any photos right away. Instead, I got a couple of comments from fashion bloggers who said they didn’t have any solid black tops or never wore jeans. I started thinking, “Wow! I thought I was dressing in…
Minx by Tracylee Percival, Medici Poison Ring by WendyB

Click here and here for more information.) In the photo, I’m wearing my Medici poison ring. Lindsay Lohan bought one of my Medici rings in…
Anna Wintour’s Genius Comment About Kanye West
The musically talented but otherwise insufferable Kanye “Gay Fish” West showed his first line of women’s clothing in Paris on Saturday, earning reviews such as “Good thing Kanye West has a day job.” I’ve become inured to random-ass celebrities who deem themselves qualified to launch clothing and jewelry lines to great fanfare just because they’ve…
Tom Ford Sunglasses at Bergdorf Goodman
I’m not sure these Tom Ford sunglasses would look good on me, but if I come across them in Bergdorf Goodman, I’ll definitely try them on!
