For weeks, I’ve been hyp-mo-tized by the New Year’s Eve-themed promo for the second season of the reality show Mob Wives. Ads for the various wives-themed reality shows usually show scenes from an episode, followed by the female stars striking poses in jewel-tone dresses. I was fascinated by the way this ad had the mob…
Jewels of the Month for 2011
I’m going to continue the lazy-ass theme from Tuesday and belatedly do another 2011 wrap-up post. (Actually, I’m working on something for the Huffington Post, so I’m not being 100% lazy.) Here’s a look back at my Jewels of the Month for 2011. I started off last year with a black-diamond Cleves swan ring in…
I’m a Fashion Group International Rising Star Finalist!
I’m thrilled to be a finalist for Fashion Group International‘s Rising Star Award in the fine jewelry category for the second year in a row. The finalists were announced yesterday in Women’s Wear Daily. Here is a scan of the article. Did you see that gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman is a finalist in the women’s…
What Wendy Wore in 2011
I’m not ready to get back to regular, non-holiday life. Also, I just realized that I didn’t do a “what I wore in 2011” wrap-up. So I’m going to fend off reality another day by doing that lazy-ass post. (Click the photos to go to the original posts.) Actually, we can make this exercise useful….
Tiny Supermodel Cat
Before I got dressed for New Year’s Eve, I killed a little time checking out Burberry trench coats online. When I got tired of that, I decided to look in on my stepson’s new kitten, Portia. She’s confined to his bedroom (till they depart for Chicago later today) because she’s only two months old and…
What Wendy Wore: Gold Sequins for New Year’s Eve 2012
The color gold was on my mind as I got ready for New Year’s Eve. Much to my delight, it was on other people’s minds too. MrB and I gave gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman a ride to our dinner at Indochine. When Stacy turned up at our apartment wearing gold sequins that matched mine, I…
Hope Your New Year’s Eve Is Golden
I know 2012 would be a golden age for me if I got my hands on this Burberry trench coat. Lately, I can’t stop ogling Burberry’s less-traditional trenches, and I just had to share this one. Have a happy new year!
Meet Portia, the Tiny Cat
My stepson, an “Arrested Development” fan, got a Ragdoll kitten and named her Portia. They’re staying with us till they go back to Chicago in a couple of days. Hopefully, my allergies won’t act up because I enjoy having Portia on my lap. Once she leaves, I’ll have to go back to poring over the LOLcats…
“Silver to the Third Power” Manicure by Tracylee Percival
Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival and I always name the manicures she gives me, and this one is called “Silver to the Third Power.” Tracylee’s concept was silver on silver on silver. The bottom layer is a gunmetal Minx application. She covered that with clear, long-lasting nail gel, then sprinkled silver glitter on. Finally, she added…
This Week’s Obsession: Marcel the Shell With Shoes On
These videos of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On have been out for a while. The first one was posted in 2010, and the second one was posted last month. I watched them then, so I’m not sure why I’ve watched them over and over this week. Maybe Marcel is just a good antidote to…
