Give Me Distance and Respect

February 26, 2018 by WendyB

I love this tweet. As a woman, I just want the same rights as a rattlesnake. pic.twitter.com/JQIFDoDTUL — Jackie Carbajal (@jackiecarbajal) February 22, 2018 As if I needed another good reason to keep designing snake-themed jewelry! Took my pet snake for a walk yesterday because it was so nice out šŸ ā˜€ļø #jewelrydesigner #ring #snakering…

Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #8 of 14

February 8, 2016 by WendyB

I’m definitely NOT feeling the love today, which is good, because it’s time for an anti-Valentine’s Day choice for my Valentine’s Day/anti-Valentine’s Day jewelry gift-guide countdown. I’ve got a few suggestions today, starting with my GTFOH necklace. GTFOH is what I thought when someone pointed out this Louis Vuitton hashtag earring to me last night….

The Weeks in Review

May 4, 2014 by WendyB

The past two weeks have been wild around here! The big news was the announcement that the Columbia Daily Spectator — the undergraduate newspaper of my alma mater, Columbia University — would focus on its website, while reducing its printing schedule from five times a week to once a week. As the chairman of the…

Advance Notice: Cyber Monday Sale

Start saving your money now, because I’m going to have a great Cyber Monday sale on select pieces* on December 2.

My Take on Kim and Kanye’s Engagement Ring

October 22, 2013 by WendyB

Kanye West popped the question to Kim Kardashian with a 15-carat diamond ring by Lorraine Schwartz. I appreciate his timing, because yesterday I launched another Instagram account — @WendyBrandesJewelry — which focuses solely on my jewelry designs and other jewelry news. No cats and dogs (you need to follow @fitzroy_the_cat for those) and no concert…

I Love My Peeps

October 5, 2013 by WendyB

I’m trying to clean up my computer desktop, which is almost as messy as my real desktop, and that’s saying a lot. I just like to keep files there (on the computer) for easy access. Screencaps are among the things that pile up. I laughed out loud when I saw this screencapped tweet from gorgeous…

Jewels of the Month: Skulls, a Heart & Other Doctor-Worthy Studs

October 4, 2013 by WendyB

I just can’t stop adding stud earring designs to my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes line! Last week, I introduced my Heisenberg hat stud in honor of Breaking Bad‘s finale. Now, in time for Halloween, I’ve got a miniaturized earring version of the skull design that first appeared in my Juana peekaboo skull ring and Juana…

The Unofficial Twitter Policy. And Miley Cyrus.

August 27, 2013 by WendyB

I came across this description of social-media attitudes on MetaFilter recently, and I thought it was high!larious! “OTHER PEOPLE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENJOY THINGS THAT I DO NOT ENJOY.” That line sums up a vast number of conversations on Twitter. I’m always amazed that people have the time and energy to aggressively tell strangers…

Thanks for the Emoji Earring Love

April 17, 2013 by WendyB

Big thanks to gorgeous blogger Marie Denee of The Curvy Fashionista, who wrote about my emoji stud earrings today. She said: “I mean, feeling like F the world? There is an earring for that. Need to be reminded that everything is okay? You guessed it, there is an earring for that!“ Thanks also to Hearty,…

The Week in Review: Express Yourself

April 7, 2013 by WendyB

This week, most of my blog posts offered suggestions for how to express yourself stylistically. Monday: You could go the club-kid route and wear these ridiculous Jeffrey Campbell shoes (but I know you won’t). Tuesday: My new emoji stud earrings are clearly a better choice than rainbow platform shoes. Wednesday: Like my emoji designs but…
