I almost forgot to report that Sam Waterston wasn’t the only interesting person I spotted in my hotel in Los Angeles last week. The first night we were there, MrB and I went to get a drink at the bar. I was excited to see a large white dog snoozing on the floor by a…
The Weeks in Review
Here’s what I had on the blog in the past two weeks. Feb. 18: I wore a gold conehead-worthy hat to Zang Toi’s runway show. Feb. 19: Wardrobe inspired by Seinfeld. Feb. 20: Browsing museum gift shops. Feb. 21: C’mon people … send me pictures of your puffy shirts! Feb. 22: Two examples of my…
What Wendy Wore: Out and About in Los Angeles
We’re heading back to New York today, though I wish I could stay a few more days in Los Angeles, just to go to the movies if nothing else. I finally saw Django Unchained and Life of Pi while we were out here, because they were playing at the fabulous Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. In…
Reporting From Cloud Nine
In 2009, I saw my idol, Coco, and her hot pimp, Ice-T, in a Los Angeles hotel, but I was too shy to say anything to them. I’m proud to say I learned from that experience. Today, when I saw actor Sam Waterston and his beauteous eyebrows in a (different) hotel, I took action. He…
What Wendy Wore: Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Part II
On Monday, I posted my outfit for Sunday’s Vanity Fair Oscar party. It was the same ensemble I wore to the Committee to Protect Journalists dinner in November. What Wendy Wore Dress: Zang Toi (2012) Jacket: Junya Watanabe (2012) Unseen shoes: Versace (2003) It turns out that I had a couple of higher-profile sisters in…
WWD Likes Social-Media Jewelry; Buy Yours From Me!
I was excited to see today’s Women’s Wear Daily story about the social-media-influenced fine-jewelry designs. While my signature Wendy Brandes line is inspired by women’s history, my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes diffusion line is all about pop culture, particularly the online world. My first design for the diffusion line was the four-ring swear ring set…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi to Vanity Fair Oscar Party
I was super-excited to go to the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. This event is a major thrill for me … but that doesn’t always mean I get a new dress for the occasion. I actually enjoy wearing the same dress to events that are just a few months apart, especially…
My Best Dressed at the Oscars: Naomi Watts
I saw lots of very lovely, appropriate dresses on the Oscar red carpet tonight. (I’ll include Anne Hathaway, whose “nipples” are actually — I think — darts in her Prada dress.) Like the Golden Globes, there was nothing crazy enough to warrant one of my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo awards; Helena Bonham…
What Wendy Wore: The Weinstein Company Pre-Oscar Party
I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay. I’ve already lurked seductively behind George Clooney on the Oscar red carpet once in my life — who could ask for anything more? Last night was The Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar part at Soho House. Dorothy Pomerantz, writing…
Tiffany Taylor, She’s What You Want Her to Be
It strikes with no warning. Every so often, I wake up with the jingle for the 1970s Tiffany Taylor doll stuck in my head. Tiffany’s gimmick was a rotating scalp with dual hair colors. White Tiffany could be changed from blonde to brunette; African-American Tiffany switched between auburn and black. These dolls were produced by…
