The title of this post refers to Mad Men and sandals, not Mad Men and the “gladiators in suits” populating Scandal. I admit that I have only seen one episode of Scandal, but I’ll have time to catch up now that MrB and I have gotten 72 episodes of Mad Men out of the way….

Marc by Marc Jacobs and My Yellow Rain Boots
Marc Jacobs today confirmed that his lower-priced Marc by Marc Jacobs line would be absorbed into the main Marc Jacobs brand. The move was first reported by WWD last week. My main interest in this stems from a Glamour story on the best looks of the Marc by Marc Jacobs line over the years. It…
What Wendy Wore: Striped Wedges by — Uh-Oh!
While visiting my parents in Florida last week, my gorgeous mother and I scoped out ultra-chic store Marissa Collections. I wanted to see if my jewelry designs would be a good fit for Marissa’s luxury jewelry department (yes!) but, of course, we couldn’t resist browsing the shoe department. I’d been keeping an eye out for…
The Complete Taxi Wardrobe: Ring, Shoes and Purse
I’ve always thought my New York City taxi ring needed a few accessories. I finally found some! You can get these 1980s vintage Moschino shoes on 1stdibs. I also found a taxi purse at a store called The Wind in the Willows in Naples, Fla. I was a big fan of The Wind in the…
What Wendy Wore: Leather, Just Like Santa
The public-relations firm LaForce + Stevens throws holiday parties with highlarious themes. This year’s event was held Monday, Dec. 15. The invitation featured Santa’s hand holding a whip and the dress code was “leather.” I was looking forward to the party until that morning, when I went to the vet with Henry the dog and…
What Wendy Wore: Black and White Always Works
I’ve decided that the vintage Kenneth Cole shoes I wore on Halloween deserve a close-up. The spats-like shoes, combined with the top hat I wore that night, made me feel like Jiminy Cricket … … or Mr. Peanut … … or Scrooge McDuck. Here’s my head-to-toe Halloween look again, this time with more shoe than…
Throwback Thursday: Gladiator Sandals in East Hampton
I’m not reaching too far back for Throwback Thursday — just to the last weekend of August, when I wore this out to dinner in East Hampton, N.Y. What Wendy Wore Puffy shirt: Custom-made by Jean of Ghost Tailor (2013) Shorts: Current/Elliott (2014) Sandals: Purchased in Greece (2014) I got the sandals in Athens in…
Temptation in Paris: Butterscotch Boots
These boots! I thought I was safe from them because the store didn’t have my size, but the sales associate decided to check the other stores. These will be hard to resist!
Wanderlust 2014: Anne Boleyn and Eminem in London
MrB and I love London. We’ve gone there every year since 2008 to visit our many friends who live in the city or close to it. In particular, I like to meet up with gorgeous bloggers and drink Pimm’s. Here are my previous London posts. 2013: Pimm’s fest and a strange trench coat. 2012: Fish…
At Least I’m Consistent: ’80s Influences and Flower Feet
Yesterday, when I wrote (again!) about my enduring fondness for ’80s-style single earrings, I mentioned that I am sometimes more subtly influenced by my love of ’80s fashion. For instance, I was unexpectedly taken down an ’80s path by the floral-printed Givenchy handbag that hyp-mo-tized me during Thanksgiving window-shopping. This weekend, my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB,…
