Surely I need this vintage, pink, tulle, mullet skirt for something, right? Maybe it’s time for me to fulfill my ambitions of recreating Pat Benatar’s 1983 “Love Is a Battlefield” video. The skirt would fit right in. This video has so much hilarity in it, but my favorite bit is at the beginning when Pat…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday: Marc by Marc Jacobs may be gone, but I’ll still have my yellow boots. Tuesday: Angelina Jolie, surgery and menopause. Wednesday: Purrkoy the giant kitteh. Thursday: My original emoji face.
Throwback Thursday: Emoji Face
Here’s a Throwback Thursday photos from my younger days. My MUCH younger days. Do you think the tongue-out emoji face was based on me? I demand royalties!
A Matter of Perspective
FitzRoy the cat is closing in on 10,000 Instagram followers, so it shouldn’t surprise you that he and his younger brother, Purrkoy, have fans who are interested in meet-and-greets! Actually, cat-loving Kelli and Aaron have visited before. They were in New York again this weekend and came bearing gifts, including one of the weirdest cat…
Angelina Jolie’s Decision
Actress Angelina Jolie Pitt wrote an essay that was published on the New York Times op-ed page today about her decision to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed. CLICK HERE TO READ THE ESSAY. This comes two years after an essay in which she described her preventative double mastectomy. Jolie Pitt is not removing…
Marc by Marc Jacobs and My Yellow Rain Boots
Marc Jacobs today confirmed that his lower-priced Marc by Marc Jacobs line would be absorbed into the main Marc Jacobs brand. The move was first reported by WWD last week. My main interest in this stems from a Glamour story on the best looks of the Marc by Marc Jacobs line over the years. It…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry on W and Book Riot Sites
Thanks to gorgeous Tina Huynh of W Magazine for including my gold peace-sign earring in “Too Cute for Words,” a slideshow of emoji jewelry. Don’t forget that my latest emoji-inspired stud earrings are the Westside and Eastside signs. They will be on my website soon, but until then you can pre-order the silver versions ($35…
Many Weeks in Review
I haven’t done a week-in-review post since January! Time to catch up. January Monday, Jan. 26: I was having a sale … and I still have some pieces on sale! Tuesday, Jan. 27: Thoughts on Holocaust Memorial Day. Thursday, Jan. 29: Billy Idol at the Beacon Theatre. Friday, Jan. 30: My Maneater ring collection was…
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…
Job Opportunity … With Me!
I’m both happy and sad today. My right-hand woman Eryn has always wanted to try her hand at clothing design and, this month, an apparel company made her an offer she can’t refuse. I’m happy for Eryn, because this is a fantastic opportunity for her to get into that field. But, obviously, I’m sad for…
