Wendy Brandes Jewelry in November ELLE
Where is the year going? October is flying by and my mind is still in July. I’m certainly not ready for November. But the arrival of the November issue of ELLE with Jennifer Aniston on the cover is okay with me, because my 18K gold and diamond Virginia Woolf Whistle necklace is prominently featured on…
Meet the WendyB Team and Bid Adieu to Steve Jobs
After I asked for pictures of people wearing my team colors of black and denim, I didn’t get any photos right away. Instead, I got a couple of comments from fashion bloggers who said they didn’t have any solid black tops or never wore jeans. I started thinking, “Wow! I thought I was dressing in…

My Almost-Husband Paul McCartney Is a Husband
Congratulations to my almost-husband Paul McCartney for marrying the nice-seeming and very attractive Nancy Shevell.

The musically talented but otherwise insufferable Kanye “Gay Fish” West showed his first line of women’s clothing in Paris on Saturday, earning reviews such as “Good thing Kanye West has a day job.” I’ve become inured to random-ass celebrities who deem themselves qualified to launch clothing and jewelry lines to great fanfare just because they’ve…

WendyB’s Team Colors: Black and Denim
Back in July, gorgeous blogger Sal of Already Pretty wrote about the hazards of wearing team colors when you’re not a fan of the team. She said: “If you’re not a sports fan – and I’m not – it’s a challenge to wear this shade of yellow with anything in the purple/red family in Minnesota…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Green Dresses
I jumped when I saw this picture of actress Zooey Deschanel in a lime-green dress with a high neck and gold buttons at the waist. It looks a lot like my vintage Jacques Tiffeau dress, doesn’t it? I’d love to know more about Zooey’s dress. If anyone has any information, let me know in the…
