Last Saturday, I went to an event where I wanted to look serious, so I dug around in my closet for some suits from my (pre-2005) corporate days. First, I tried on a gray skirt suit by Luciano Barbera. I got it at Barneys when I was absolutely desperate for a summer-weight, investment-bank-appropriate suit. I’d…

What Wendy Wore: Doing the Taliban Shuffle, Pantless
On Friday, MrB and I went to our gorgeous friend Kim Barker’s book party. The New York Times raved about Kim’s book, The Taliban Shuffle, calling it “…hilarious and harrowing, witty and illuminating, all at the same time.” So buy it now! I wasn’t sure what to wear that night. I considered a plain black…
Pondering the Patrick Kelly Leopard Dress, Again
Y’all know that I love to wear my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard gown for a big event on an annual basis. I got the dress on eBay in April 2008 and opened the package just as I was getting dressed for a Tribeca Film Festival party. Before I put on the Ossie Clark dress I…
What Wendy Wore: New York Fashion Week
I barely thought about fashion during New York Fashion Week because I was distracted by my work on a non-fashion event. But I still got out to support two of my friends. Gorgeous blogger Jennine — the founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers — held her Evolving Influence Fashion Bloggers Conference at MAC & Milk Studios…

What Wendy Wore: Amazing Belzer
Last night, our generous friends Barney and Kathryn took us out for a belated anniversary dinner at Ouest. I wanted to wear something I hadn’t worn yet this year and picked a purple Black Halo dress from 2008 (see the blue version on Debra Messing here). I was running late as usual, so by the…
Pimm’s, Peekaboo and an eBay Pick
Traveling to Europe? Here is my advice: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in London in July, spend five hours drinking Pimm’s with gorgeous blogging bitches. The latter has become an annual tradition for me. Pimm’s Fest 2008 Pimm’s Fest 2009 Pimm’s Fest 2010 took place Saturday, July 10. My partners-in-crime were…
What Wendy Wore: Encounters With Bad Samaritans
MrB and I went to a dinner celebrating our gorgeous friend Joanna’s @&#th birthday last Thursday. That’s what the menu said: “@&#th Birthday Bash.” Unfortunately, I wasn’t wearing my swear rings to match the menu. Instead, I wore a vintage Ossie Clark maxi that I bought last year from Vintage-a-Peel and the Cleopatra necklace that…
Put the Blame on Kenneth Jay Lane
In 1986 — when I was an undergraduate at Columbia College and some of you weren’t born — I got the book that made the long-forgotten Edie Sedgwick an icon. It was then called Edie: An American Biography (it has since been retitled Edie: American Girl) and it had been out for a few years,…
