Didn’t get to my Cyber Monday sale yet? Don’t panic, because I’m extending it through Friday, Dec. 4. CLICK HERE TO SHOP THE SALE.

Get Ready for Cyber Monday

November 27, 2015 by WendyB

Are you running around like crazy doing your Black Friday shopping today? I don’t think I’ve ever done Black Friday. I don’t enjoy shopping in crowds.  If I can shop at off hours, I do. When I worked at the Wall Street Journal — which was in the World Financial Center, across from the World…

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26, 2015 by WendyB

Happy Thanksgiving to my U.S. readers! If you’re not into watching football, you can spend game time dressing up your dog or cat as a turkey. Note: If you decide to do a cat-turkey, don’t forget to have disinfectant and Band-Aids nearby. Enjoy! CATS AND DOGS DRESSED AS TURKEYS.

Almost as Good as SkyMall

November 24, 2015 by WendyB

Yesterday, I said getting catalogs in the mail isn’t as fun as getting a letter.  I realized how wrong I was when I got this catalog from Bits and Pieces. Who wouldn’t want these sneaker socks?! Bits and Pieces says, “These novelty sneaker socks are printed to resemble popular hi-tops that cool kids have been…

Better Than a Bill!

November 23, 2015 by WendyB

Before my parents moved out of my childhood home in 2013, I retrieved some of my old things from their basement and various closets.  I found a lot of letters. During high school, I had pen pals in England, and I was always running to the mailbox to look for a blue airmail envelope. Who…

Peace and Love … and Cussing

November 20, 2015 by WendyB

I always appreciate it when people write about my work. Thank you to Cindy Edelstein for including my peace sign emoji earring in her thoughtful Peace and Love TrendTracker report for National Jeweler.

Throwback Thursday: Vintage Gold Dress

November 19, 2015 by WendyB

I feel like I wore my gold, one-sleeved, vintage dress recently but, according to photo evidence, “recently” was seven years ago.  Here I am in 2008 with my friend Melissa at the Committee to Protect Journalists awards dinner. I got this dress at Allan & Suzi’s vintage/consignment store in 2004.  I wore it to the…

Adele Is So Cute

November 18, 2015 by WendyB

Adele has a new song out off her soon-to-be released album 25. The song is called “We Are Young.” Adele named her 2008 debut album 19, to reflect the age she was when she was writing it. Her 2011 album, 21, followed suit, title-wise. It was a monster hit: It topped the Billboard charts for…
