Wednesday’s Video: All About Patrick Kelly

March 13, 2019 by WendyB

I’ve been wanting to do a video about the late fashion designer Patrick Kelly since I started doing YouTube videos in 2017. I  did one about my favorite vintage designer, Ossie Clark, right away, but I postponed Patrick because I felt that the video wouldn’t be perfect without great new photos of every Patrick Kelly…

Yesterday, I showed you the two outfits I would have chosen between if I’d had gone to the Golden Globes last Sunday. Here’s a closer look at the jewelry I would have worn with either outfit — all my own designs, of course. (I had to raid the vault for this little photo shoot!) From…

Woman Crush Wednesday Video: Debbie Harry

August 30, 2017 by WendyB

Like one of Stefon’s club recommendations, my YouTube video for this week has everything. I talked about my longtime crush on Blondie lead singer, Debbie Harry; one of her and my favorite designers, Stephen Sprouse; and the history of rap. If you stay for the demonstration of my own straight-fire rapping skills, you get two…

Wednesday’s Video: Vintage Clothing FAQ, Part 2

June 21, 2017 by WendyB

Today’s video is the second in a series in which I answer frequently asked questions about vintage clothes. In this segment, I talk about sizing and alterations. You get a bonus history lesson when I discuss England’s post-World-War-II food rationing! Last week, in the first part of the FAQ, I spoke about where I store…

The Bride Wore a Mullet Dress

August 6, 2012 by WendyB

I posted a pair of wedding bands last month. They got put to good use this Saturday when my friends Shawn and Laurrell got married! The ceremony was held in a beautiful spot in Central Park. Shawn adores hot pink and butterflies, as you can see from this photo of the fans that were given…

Listening to Me

March 25, 2010 by WendyB

See me (but don’t feel me) talking about the ethics panel I moderated for the  Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence conference in February. You also get to see my dollar dress in action. I’ve had a Who song stuck in my head for two days because of this post’s title. I bumped into Roger Daltrey…

Three Bloggers, Two Hats, One Ring

January 29, 2010 by WendyB

One of my jewelers has developed a passion for taking videos with his iPhone.  Here I am looking dubious about it. I’m wearing the hat gorgeous blogger Jennine got for me at Tar-Jay. I think it’s a lot better than this chicken hat that I tried on while out on the town with another gorgeous…
