In Wednesday’s vlog about vintage designer Ossie Clark, I said that I hadn’t bought any new Ossie pieces in a long time. The prices were too high for several years, but, even after they came down a bit, I figured I had such a good Ossie collection that I would have to see a new…

Throwback Thursday: Argyle Twinset
It’s still sweater weather here in New York City, so here’s an amusing throwback sweater photo from Thanksgiving. MrB and I were visiting my sister in Chicago. I can’t remember if I instructed MrB to wear his matching sweater that day or if it was coincidence. I probably told him to do it, because…

What Wendy Wore: Golden Girls Gang Does Vegas
Since 2008 — and inspired by a gold sequin Antik Batik dress — I’ve wanted to organize a terrifying gang called the Golden Girls. Membership would require the wearing of gold sequins, the ability to strike the WendyB pose and maybe a violent initiation ceremony just to keep things lively. I unexpectedly achieved my gangsta…
Bookends
My brother-in-law ,Tim Berry, posted this 2009 photo of me with my sister, Terri Berry, and my nephew, Sebastian Berry, on Facebook. I had to share it here because I think Terri and I look even more matchy-matchy than usual. Background information: We aren’t twins (though we do both wear MAC’s Lasting Lust lip color)….
Single White Female X 2
The title of the 1992 thriller Single White Female always bothered me due to its lack of realism. In the movie, an attractive New York chick played by Bridget Fonda needs a roommate, so she places this ad. A less attractive chick played by Jennifer Jason Leigh moves in and starts copying Bridget’s entire life,…
Great Minds Think Alike … About L.A.M.B.
Earlier this year, I ogled a L.A.M.B. dress on the soon-to-be-defunct eLuxury. I didn’t plan to get it, but when it was reduced further I couldn’t resist. More recently, I was rummaging through my gorgeous client Melissa‘s closet (she was rummaging with me — I didn’t break into her house) and I found she had…
What Do You Think?
Do you prefer my hair straight like usual or wavy like this? UPDATED TO ADD: Darn you, first commenter Cherie of Shrimpton Couture! I figured since my gorgeous sister Terri Berry was wearing red lipstick with black and leopard last night, I’d be able to pass her off as myself. Here she is in all…
Twinset
I finally wore my J. Crew argyle sweater out to dinner last night. Hopefully this sweater won’t disintegrate like the other J. Crew sweater did. But even if it does, I will always treasure a photo that gives new meaning to the word “twinset.” Bonding with a charming employee of Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar &…
