The Bag I Didn’t Get and an Amusing Shopping Memory

August 31, 2011 by WendyB

Last week, I showed you the Louis Vuitton bag that MrB got me for our anniversary. Henry the dog helped me with the photo. The Louis Vuitton site has a picture of the bag’s other color scheme. I got my bag at the Vuitton store in Paris. We asked a saleswoman about it after seeing…

Musical Men in Red Pants at the VMAs

August 29, 2011 by WendyB

I first noticed the new popularity of red pants at the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference in February. Soon they were on so many bloggers that I put a red-pants slideshow together for the Huffington Post. At that point, I remembered that I’d grown up watching male rockers on MTV jumping around in tight red pants….

Flashback to My 2003 MTV VMA Fashion

August 28, 2011 by WendyB

While I’m watching MTV’s VMA pre-show, I’m reminiscing about the times MrB and I went to the VMAs back in the late ’90s and early 2000s when the show was in New York. I’m pretty sure I wore my white leather wedding outfit to the 2001 show, but that was before I had a digital…

Glow-in-the-Dark Halston Dress Brightens My Day

August 28, 2011 by WendyB

My love for ’60s electric-dress designer Diana Dew and electric-dress wearer Tiger Morse means I’m always on the lookout for light-up clothes.  Thank you to gorgeous blogger Dawn Del Russo for tweeting Halston’s glow-in-the-dark dress. It doesn’t turn on with a switch like a Diana Dew original, but it’s probably less dangerous. As Richie Berlin…

Waiting for Hurricane Irene

August 27, 2011 by WendyB

While we in New York await the arrival of Hurricane Irene, I keep thinking of another wild woman with a rhyming name.  Here’s Dolly Parton singing her classic song, “Jolene.” Tell me you don’t love that ’70s country-music fashion!

The silver versions of my Memento Mori skull designs have arrived! I gave you a glimpse of the ring earlier this month, but now I have the earrings and necklace as well. Like nearly all of my jewelry, these pieces are produced in very limited quantity here in New York. I made two of each…

“Well, Holo There!” Mani/Pedi by Tracylee Percival

August 24, 2011 by WendyB

Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival named my new holographic nail designs “Well, Holo There!” For the toes, she did two layers of Minx: a silver holographic layer with a silver lace pattern over it. As with my last pedicure, it was difficult to dissuade Henry the dog from “helping” with the photography. Here’s a better look….

Snakes in My Closet

August 23, 2011 by WendyB

Right before Snakes on a Plane came out five years ago, a friend and I were so swayed by the pre-opening online hype that we bet MrB that the movie would be a mega-blockbuster. Well, it turned out that the hype was just hype. According to IMDB, the movie’s domestic gross barely topped the production…
