MrB and I were invited to a dinner last night that called for “festive dress.” I tried on one dress and decided it was more “book party” than “festive,” so I switched to this Stacy Lomman dress from her Spring 2011 collection. What Wendy Wore Dress: Stacy Lomman (previously seen here) Shoes: Prada (2011) Ring:…
New Spidey Manicure, New Mid-Finger Rings
I finally got to see celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival yesterday. It was our first appointment since August. Between her fashion week and celebrity jobs, Tracylee was a hard woman to find. I think she was sorry so much time had passed when she saw my several ripped cuticles and one weirdly dented thumbnail. (About the…
“That International Zensation … Fraulein Sally Bowles”
I enjoyed reading this 1973 interview with Liza Minnelli, posted by gorgeous blogger Liz of Vintage-a-Peel yesterday. Liza talked custom-made eyelashes and glittery shoes, and showed off some of her Halston outfits. She also namechecked Marchesa Luisa Casati, 30 years before the womenswear label Marchesa was named after the exotically dressed socialite of the early…
A High Heel That’s as Comfortable as a Sneaker, Guaranteed
The “Big City Pump Silhouette Sneaker” by Be&D is highlarious. You’d definitely get the best of both worlds with that one. I’m normally a big fan of trompe l’oeil fashion, but I prefer real heel height, so I’ve been wearing the hell out of my Thelma wedge sneakers by Ash Shoes. I wore them to,…
Holy Halloween Sale, Batman!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. To make yours even more fun this year, I’ve put my three bat necklaces on sale for the month of October. You don’t have to be a Halloween enthusiast to wear one of these. They’re also good for Batman fans (note the face on the pendant!) … or…
What Wendy Wore (and Lost): At Zang Toi’s Spring 2013 Show
My designing friend Zang Toi showed his Spring 2013 line on September 9 during New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. I wore the floor-length, cowboy-print dress I got from Zang’s Spring 2011 collection. I kept the accessories casual with a fringed purse and boots; I’m not sure that the lady in the blue shirt…
Introducing My New Niece: Sabrina Berry
I met my new niece, Sabrina Berry, this weekend. I wore my Damien Hirst diamond-skull t-shirt because I wanted to introduce the baby to all the finer things in life right away: red lipstick, black t-shirts, skulls and diamonds. I should have had a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar in one hand and a glass of…
So What? I’m Still a Rock Star!
Pink’s “So What?” video is so funny and cute. Pink looks especially adorable 25 seconds in, when she’s wearing a denim halter jumpsuit and trying to start a fight with a guy in a guitar store. Is that a good enough reason to get this denim halter jumpsuit from Anthropologie? Pink did say, “I don’t…
Rihanna Likes Nipples
I’m happy to see Rihanna is still enjoying her boobacious Mud Flap Jill necklace from my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes collection. She was wearing it again in London on Wednesday, after being seen with it on in Las Vegas the previous week. Rihanna’s shapely-lady necklace is 18K yellow gold with ruby nipples. A silver version…
What Wendy Wore (and Lost): Madonna at Yankee Stadium
I’ve seen Madonna on every tour she’s done since 1985, when I skipped my high-school prom to see her at Radio City. Naturally, I saw her earlier this month when she became the first female performer to headline at Yankee Stadium. A few days later, I put on my new concert t-shirt and went to…
