Here’s a “What Wendy Wore” outfit for each month of 2015. (I’m not including any of the looks from my “Outfits on Repeat in 2015” post.) Click the photos for the original posts. I felt great in the Zang Toi jacket and faux-garter tights that I wore to Zang’s runway show in February 2014, so…

My Jewel of the Month posts highlight my newest — or newsiest — jewelry designs.

The Road to Floral Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions
For my parents’ 50th anniversary yesterday, I was so excited for them to receive the special bouquet I had sent them. I’ve been laughing uncontrollably at the floral disaster that was actually delivered. I stopped laughing long enough to write an email demanding my money back. I’ll use the refund to buy my parents dinner…

Merry Titmas!
On Christmas Day, I like to recycle a post that I did in 2008. Here it is. Why write a new Christmas Day post when I wrote the perfect one in 2008? Here is “Happy Holiday, Goyim!” again, with a new, working version of the video and a couple of other updated links: Every December…
Throwback Thursday Fashion Humor
I love an old joke that’s new to me. I even love an old joke that I’ve heard 100 times before. Anyway, this is the throwback fashion joke my friend Thelma told me recently: A woman is wearing a pencil skirt that is so tight she can’t get up the steps on the bus. She…
What Wendy Wore: Last Birthday at the Four Seasons
New York’s iconic Four Seasons restaurant — which opened in 1959 and for which the term “power lunch” was invented — is being booted from the Seagram Building next year. I’ve had many birthday dinners there (as well as one dinner with Norman Mailer). Tonight was the final Four Seasons birthday dinner. We sat in…
What Wendy Wore: Outfits on Repeat in 2015
I like slow fashion and homegrown vintage. Here are some of my favorite old looks, re-worn in 2015. Whenever I wear my sex-ay Pilgrim dress by Donald Brooks Couture, I enjoy it so much that I wear it again almost immediately. I originally wore the dress in 2004 to the Committee to Protect Journalists awards…
Must-See TV
I’m sure you’ve heard the news about Miss Universe host Steve Harvey mistakenly announcing Miss Colombia as the winner of the pageant last night. He apologetically corrected himself, announcing Miss Philippines instead, as poor Miss Colombia stood there wearing the winner’s crown and sash. I nearly died of second-hand embarrassment for everyone involved, but I…
