Throwback Thursday: Those Capezio Jazz Shoes

Throwback Thursday: Those Capezio Jazz Shoes

I am STILL looking for that photo of me and Roger Daltrey in England in 1983. I keep finding more photos from that trip, but no Roger yet. WTF. I must have put the picture in a “safe place.” I wish I’d stop putting things there, because the “safe place” and the “Bermuda Triangle” are…

Shoes in Magazines, on TV and on Restaurant Tables

June 3, 2015 by WendyB

Gladiator sandals really are the shoe of the moment. After writing about them in yesterday’s post, I spotted them in today’s New York Observer. This look is going to be wildly overdone this season, but I’m going to take advantage of its pervasiveness and stock up on styles so I have them to wear when…

Minnetonka Upgrade?

Minnetonka Upgrade?

I do love those old-school Minnetonka moccasins from my last post, but what’s a moccasin lover to do when she’s invited to a black-tie soirĂ©e? Upgrade to mirrored Gucci moccasins, of course! These are my kind of crazy, but when it comes to online window shopping, I’m still more in love with the pink mullet…

And Now for Minnetonka Moccasins

April 7, 2015 by WendyB

And Now for Minnetonka Moccasins

Yesterday’s post on knee-high gladiator sandals reminded me of my previously expressed love for knee-high Minnetonka moccasins. That inspired me to check Minnetonka’s site for gladiator sandals. They do have a couple of styles. Not knee-high ones, but you can get the ankle-high look at a reasonable price. There are also summertime variations on the…

Mad Men and Gladiators

April 6, 2015 by WendyB

Mad Men and Gladiators

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 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

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…
