In case you missed anything on the blog this week, here’s what I had. Monday: Dressing to please a man who wears skirts and a welcome to the royal baby. Tuesday: My sixth blogversary and lion jewelry for Leos. Wednesday: 12-anniversary outfit post. Thursday: BarbaraB reminds me of Sophia Loren. Friday: Anthony Weiner and Huma…
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, Dream, Dream, Dream
On Wednesday night, I dreamed Bea Arthur and I became the head designers of Pucci. Then I switched to another, more stressful dream: I was in boarding school and Sharon Stone cast me as the lead in a musical, even though I can’t sing. At least I didn’t dream about chocolate hamburgers. Had any interesting…
Go Away, Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin!
I took a day off yesterday from reading about crazy New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, but I was forced to acknowledge the freaky couple again this morning while I was reading the New York Times (in print, of course!). Oh! Instead of sexting with just one woman a…
Throwback Thursday: BarbaraB Doing a Sophia Loren Impression
This photo isn’t in very good condition, but I still love it. I believe it’s from the early ’80s. That’s my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, on the right, and her stylish friend Ursula on the left. BarbaraB doesn’t have a look of disapproval on her face, but something about her expression — plus the angle and…
What Wendy Wore: Dressing to Please a Man, Part II
Because I dressed to make Zang Toi happy on Sunday night, I figured it was only fair to dress in a way that would make MrB happy at our 12th-anniversary dinner on Monday. After all, MrB puts up with a lot more from me than Zang has to. I know MrB is a big fan…
Lion Jewelry for Luxury-Loving Leos
The Leo period of the astrological calendar begins today. You really don’t have to be a Leo to wear my lion-themed jewelry — the pieces weren’t inspired by astrology — but if you ARE a Leo, they’re even more compelling, no? My Eleanor necklace was inspired by Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful…
My Sixth Blogversary and a New Huffington Post Story
Time flies when you’re having fun — and even when you’re not having fun! It’s my sixth blogversary today. To celebrate, I will be lazy: Instead of writing a big post here, allow me to direct you to my latest piece on the Huffington Post, featuring a fashion-blogger slideshow. For a while, I was bummed…
The Royal Baby Boy
I am pleased to see that Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has had a baby boy, though I confess I was hoping for a little queen-to-be. Many of the designs in my signature jewelry line are inspired by queens and other royal wimmins. I don’t usually work with contemporary personalities, so I’m not sure…
What Wendy Wore: Dressing to Please a Man, Part I
I can’t remember the last time I consciously thought, “I’ll wear this because [name of some dude] will like it.” But last night, I did. You see, my designing friend Zang Toi is always trying to get me into shorter skirts and dresses. Whenever I go to his showroom and try on something short, he…
The Week in Review
In case you missed anything, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday: I met singer Skylar Grey after her NYC concert. You can get her new album on iTunes. Tuesday: Stylist Lysa Cooper speaks the truth to Vogue Italia. Thursday: Keith Haring and Madonna. Friday: My new lug sole shoes. I’m still looking…
