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

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

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,…

Pining for Vintage Anne Klein Boots

Pining for Vintage Anne Klein Boots

I’ve been looking for these vintage Anne Klein Couture boots for years, and, finally, found a pair on eBay for a “Buy It Now” price! Alas, they are a European size 38 and I’m a 36.5.  I was thinking that maybe I could make them work anyway, but the heel-to-toe measurement is a full inch…

Throwback Thursday Gladiators, Plus More Miley & Madonna

In 2008, I got a pair of white wedge gladiator sandals by Jil Sander, inspired by my fond memories of the flat white gladiators I wore in 1985. I searched for photos of the original sandals but didn’t find any … until now! Here are the sandals sitting next to me on the beach. I…

Boots for Fall: Daisies and Spikes

Boots for Fall: Daisies and Spikes

I got a pair of short, low-heeled boots in Paris this summer — a “Never Is the Next New Thing™” purchase for me — and now there are more decorated versions of the style catching my eye. These $650 daisy-adorned boots by Red Valentino in the Bergdorf Goodman catalog are tough but sweet. I’m amused…

Fashion Repeats Itself: Black & White Camo, Backwards Heels

Fashion Repeats Itself: Black & White Camo, Backwards Heels

Designer Stephen Sprouse did camouflage-print designs based on screenprints by Andy Warhol in 1987 and 1988. Sprouse was famous for his use of Day-Glo colors, so if I were going to get a vintage Sprouse camo print, I’d probably go for something like this skirt. But, last week, this ’80s Sprouse on 1stdibs.com caught my…

Three Lovely Ladies in Thongs (Thong Sandals, That Is)

Three Lovely Ladies in Thongs (Thong Sandals, That Is)

In June, I saw lots of wimmins in Paris wearing flat, leather, thong sandals everywhere … even though it was raining and the high temperature was in the low 60s. (I was wearing a trench coat and boots.) I thought, “Damn, these ladies are so excited to wear these sandals they’re risking frostbite!” That interested…

What Wendy Wore: Dressing to Please a Man, Part II

Because I dressed to make Zang Toi happy on Sunday night, I figured it was only fair to dress in a way that would make MrB happy at our 12th-anniversary dinner on Monday.  After all, MrB puts up with a lot more from me than Zang has to. I know MrB is a big fan…
