The Teen Choice Awards took place on Sunday, and Stephanie Schaefer, a writer for jewelry-industry publication JCK Magazine, hit me up to see what I thought about the fashion. CLICK HERE TO READ JCK’S TEEN CHOICE FASHION STORY. As with the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, Miley Cyrus was a standout for me,…
Rihanna, River Island and Topshop
Rihanna announced her second collection for high-street retailer River Island yesterday. It features lots of camouflage in both traditional green/khaki and black/gray/white. (I hope Valerie Steele, the director and chief curator of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, sees this. Steele and I were recently talking about the lifespan of the camo-print trend.)…
What Wendy Wore: Ossie Clark for Dinner With Friends
Last week, MrB and I went to dinner with friends at a not-very-special restaurant. I decided to wear a special outfit anyway — one that was put together during last year’s wardrobe therapy with Stacy Lomman. Stacy wanted to find a way to show off an Ossie Clark piece that I bought in London in…

One More G-Shock Photo: Eminem in the Air
I’m inordinately proud of this picture of Eminem in mid-air at G-Shock’s “Shock the World” concert on Wednesday. It’s not like my mad camera skillz made it possible; it was pure luck. But it’s still a nice shot, right? I feel like a sports photographer! Other links: There’s a selection of my other top Eminem…
Musical Interlude: Eminem at G-Shock 30th Anniversary Party
MrB keeps asking me, “Who’s your hero?” So far, he’s refrained from answering his own question by indicating himself with both thumbs and saying, “This guy!” That shows how nice he is because he is entitled to do the thumb thing after getting us tickets to attend watch-company G-Shock’s 30th anniversary party in New York…
Dina Rae Is Wearing Wendy Brandes Jewelry
Gorgeous singer Dina Rae is letting her fingers do the talking with the sterling-silver “D RAE” ring set that I custom-made for her. I’m looking forward to getting some pictures that include her fabulous face from her next photoshoot! Maybe the rings will make it into something like this sultry shot. If you don’t know…
What Wendy Wore: Electric Black Horse and Beyoncé
My weekend was full of music. On Saturday, I went to see my friend Kevin Mercado (aka Merx) perform with his band, Electric Black Horse, at Mercury Lounge. It was so dark there that none of my photos came out, so here’s one from a performance last year. I was dressed casually. If this pre-show…
Skylar Grey Is Wearing Wendy Brandes Jewelry
Ta-da! I’m so excited to share this photo of gorgeous singer/songwriter Skylar Grey wearing the crossed-ax necklace I custom-made for her. The crossed axes are Skylar’s logo. You can see it on this sticker. I wrote at length about Skylar when I saw her perform at Le Poisson Rouge during her tour to promote her…
