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…
Call Me (an Energy Waster), Maybe
The Wizard of Oz said, “Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain,” but I always like to explore what’s going on behind the scenes. Being online all the time, I was intrigued by two stories in the New York Times about the cost of meeting all of our digital needs. The first story,…
Spuds McBrandes?
I bet I would look like a delicious baked potato in this silver Norma Kamali coat. In case you’re wondering, I think looking like a delicious baked potato is a good thing.
Great Minds Think Alike … About Cutouts
Many designers have done slashed necklines, but I was struck by the fact that I spotted the 1980s Geoffrey Beene online mere seconds after I saw the Spring 2013 Versace. Business-y slashed neckline versus boudoir slashed neckline … which do you prefer?
My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Emilia Clarke
Unlike this year’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Emmy Awards didn’t inspire me to bestow my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award upon anyone. Too much cement, too many safe looks. But there was one dress that made me think, “I would wear that”: Emilia Clarke’s (Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones)…
Cement Strikes Back at the Emmys
Two years ago, I spent the Oscars complaining about the popularity of dresses in hues that reminded me of cement. Alas, the cement-colored dresses are back at tonight’s Emmy Awards. Here are two: Emily Van Camp Connie Britton Also representing the sidewalk were Morena Baccarin of Homeland in Basil Soda, Sarah Hyland of Modern Family…
