After my Never Is the Next New Thing™ post on mullet dresses — or as I prefer to call them, high/low hemlines — 10 fashion bloggers graciously shared photos of their high/low outfits with me. Check out the slideshow on the Huffington Post and leave some nice comments for the ladies. CLICK HERE TO GO…

It’s That Time of Year Again: Pimm’s Time!
It’s become my July tradition to go to London and drink Pimm’s for hours with gorgeous local bloggers. It all started in 2008 with Sharon Rose and ex-blogger Times of Glory. In 2009, we expanded to five: Sharon Rose, Samantha, Kate, Liz and me. Last year’s Pimm’s-fest featured Liz, Kate, Margaret, Winnie and Disneyrollergirl. Today’s…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Ferragamo Now and Versace Then
I guess houndstooth checks and glen plaids are never out of fashion, but seeing checks and plaids on practically everything in Ferragamo’s Fifth Avenue store made me think of Versace from a few years back. I think it was about 2004 or 2005 when Versace had a big plaid moment that so entranced me that…
Vive la Différence
Here’s my latest look from celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. All the nails are painted red except for the thumbs. I have a Union Jack on the left thumb and a French Tricolor on the right. I’m going to call this one “European Vacation.” All the colors are by Gelish: Ocean Wave (blue), Red Roses (red)…
What Wendy Wore: Independence Day Weekend
I hope all my U.S. readers had a lovely 4th of July weekend. We visited some friends who live on a lake. For a party on Saturday night, I wore a Pucci-esque Versace dress that I’ve had since 2002 or 2003. Here’s how it looked in early 2003. Here’s how it looked this weekend. What…
Never Is the Next New Thing™: High/Low Hems, aka Mullet Dresses
Before stylists and goddess gowns took over, there were a lot of eye-popping fashions at the Oscars. One dress that regularly turns up on everyone’s all-time worst-dressed list is Geena Davis’s 1992 short-in-the-front, long-in-the-back “mullet” dress. After that, mullet dresses were stamped with a big “NEVER!” in my mind, and if you’ve been reading my…
Diana Vreeland, Isabella Blow and Me
In 2008, I wrote this: “A couple of years ago, a much-older male friend annoyed me by asking, ‘What are you going to do when you can’t be cute anymore?’ I privately thought, ‘WTF? My cuteness is eternal AND rust-proof, bitch.’ Out loud, I answered, ‘Then I’ll be old and crazy.’ … I’m going to…
Stuck a Feather in Her Hair and Called It … Over in 5 Minutes
You know how you look at old pictures and wonder, “Why the hell did we think those clothes/makeup/hair looked good?” That usually happens years after the photos were taken. But feather hair extensions? I feel like the sell-by date for those is right around the corner. Seeing them on Park Avenue ladies and their pre-tween…
What Wendy Wore This Weekend: Celebrating the Undead
Once again, I’m thankful that gorgeous blogger and bossypants Jennine from The Coveted told me last year to post more outfit pictures. It comes in handy when I’m working on a couple of complicated posts only to realize it’s Monday and I’ve got nothing ready for publication. But wait! I wore something! Instant post. I…
Superhero Manicure
I’ve got a new nail look from celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. This one reminded us of Captain America … … so we’re calling it “Captain Manhattan.” The left thumb is the only red nail. The thumb on the right hand is blue. All the colors are by Gelish: Ocean Wave (blue), Red Roses (red), and…
