My old Reebok x Keith Haring sneakers — which were in dire shape to begin with — were beyond repair after I sloshed through a torrential rainstorm recently. So … out with the old-old and in with the new-old! I’m happy that I accidentally got two pairs of these in 2013 when these first came…

What Wendy Wore: Coachella 2017
Coachella kicked off the music-festival season last weekend, which means its time for dozens — or possibly hundreds — of music-festival-fashion stories. I was out there in Indio, Calif., and, as I mentioned on my personal Instagram, I enjoyed checking out what other people were wearing, even though I didn’t emulate the sex-ay looks. Commentary…
Wendy Davis’s Sneakers, Anna Nicole & the Weeks in Review
Texas senator Wendy Davis stood and spoke for nearly 11 hours on Tuesday — a filibuster that derailed an effort to pass a harsh anti-abortion bill in the state senate. During the filibuster, she couldn’t eat, sit or even lean, so she wore pink Mizuno Wave Rider 16 sneakers for comfort. Because my name is Wendy…
What Wendy Wore: In Stitches After Frankenweenie
I’ve been panting to see Tim Burton’s new movie Frankenweenie because I love short, chunky dogs … … and big-eyed cats with tiny mouths. MrB and I went to see the movie at a theater a block away from our apartment last night — within the magic zone of invisibility — so I just threw…
Non-Buyer’s Remorse: Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Sneakers
I very rarely suffer from buyer’s remorse, but every once in a while I come down with a case of non-buyer’s remorse. Right now I have it bad for the silver Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sneakers that Sporty Spice wore at the Olympic closing ceremonies. I loved those sneakers when I saw them, but I sternly…
A High Heel That’s as Comfortable as a Sneaker, Guaranteed
The “Big City Pump Silhouette Sneaker” by Be&D is highlarious. You’d definitely get the best of both worlds with that one. I’m normally a big fan of trompe l’oeil fashion, but I prefer real heel height, so I’ve been wearing the hell out of my Thelma wedge sneakers by Ash Shoes. I wore them to,…
Teenage Dream: Converse Ultra-High-Tops
I tried to get an interview with someone from Converse for my Huffington Post wedge sneaker story, but, unfortunately, it didn’t work out. I wanted to ask the company about its sales because it seems to me that Converse’s classic Chuck Taylor sneaker — whether low-top or high-top — has become more popular than ever…
Bloggers on Huffington Post; the Truth About Sporty Spice
My looooong–awaited post on wedge sneakers is finally live on the Huffington Post’s Stylelist site. CLICK HERE TO READ THE STORY. I started working on this in May! But, as often happens when I hold on to a post for a long time, I got to add some good information to it. During the Spice…
Looking for a Few Good Women (Wearing Wedge Sneakers)
Fashion bloggers: You still have a little time to send me outfit photos featuring your wedge sneakers for a story I’m doing. (I’ll take photos of other fancy-schmancy sneakers too.) I was just in Paris for a few days and saw wedges and other chic kicks everywhere. I know you bloggers are on it! Hit…
Casting Call for Bloggers Wearing Wedge Sneakers
I’ve been looking for a pair of high-wedge sneakers for years. I tried on these sunny See by Chloe sneakers in 2009, but they didn’t fit. In 2010, I pondered this pair by Ash Shoes, but I wasn’t sure I loved them as much as the Chloes. I wound up with a pair of silver-sequin,…
