Throwback Thursday: Dressed for Ricky Martin in 1999

August 29, 2013 by WendyB

I found a 1999 photo of the Tark 1 pants that I’ve worn a couple of times this summer. This was taken at the Delano Hotel in Miami, either right before or after a Ricky Martin concert. That was the year of Ricky’s #1 hit, “Livin’ la Vida Loca,” and he was a hot ticket….

A Tip of My Hats to You

October 25, 2011 by WendyB

I’m not a huge hat person, but I do like berets (and hats with Elizabeth Taylor on them). I’ve worn a fuzzy white beret for at least four years. I’m very tempted to upgrade to one of the leopard-spotted Eugenia Kim berets that I saw on Red Carpet Fashion Awards. If I decide to go…

What Wendy Wore: Double-Vintage Feather Dress

November 18, 2010 by WendyB

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: closet purges are overrated. My interest in vintage clothes led me to the anti-purge epiphany. If I am willing to pay a pretty penny to buy clothes that are 40 years old from a vintage dealer, why should I banish pieces that are a mere five,…

Beautiful Bloggers Buying Baubles

November 13, 2008 by WendyB

When I wrote the title of this post, something about it seemed familiar. I finally realized I was thinking of a line in The Berenstains’ B Book: “beautiful baboon blowing bubbles.” Please note that that is NOT a comment on the appearance of any of my gorgeous blogging clients. However, it might be a sign…

Snipe, Dammit!

April 30, 2008 by WendyB

My peeps, some of you are driving me crazy with your complaints about losing eBay auctions at “the last second.” If you are serious about winning anything, you must snipe. A snipe is an automated, last-second bid. The people who are beating you out are most likely using sniping services (which eBay finds perfectly “legal”)….

Nu Shooz

April 2, 2008 by WendyB

Yesterday, I was annoyed by an anti-flower-feet article in the New York Observer. The article, which is heavy on sarcasm but short on funny, also slammed chunky platform wedges, peep-toe booties and — worst of all — gladiator sandals! The Emperor agrees with me. “Wendy, it vexes me. I’m terribly vexed by this article.” Not…
