Two pairs of my earrings — the Mignonette and the Double Sun — have been featured in the regional fall/winter issues of Brides magazine. Thanks, Brides peeps!
Just Thought I’d Share …
I constantly get these actors confused. I blame their names, primarily, but their faces don’t help me much either. It’s especially shocking that I have this problem with Mila Kunis, even though she’s on one of the most important TV shows in the world. Anything confuse you lately?
Jewel of the Month: Terri Berry’s Birthday Ring
Today is my gorgeous sister Terri Berry‘s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TERRI BERRY! Yesterday, TerriB’s husband, Tim Berry, presented her with a custom ring I designed. TerriB was in on the plan. Earlier this year, when gold was at a then-record-high of $1330 an ounce, I started taking the stones out of old jewelry and selling…
Flashback to 1984: Whodini and the Hat
“Freaks Come Out at Night” from Whodini‘s 1984 Escape album has been stuck in my head for days. It’s reawakened my desire for singer Ecstasy’s trademark hat. If I find a hat just like that, I’m getting it no matter how it looks on me. It looks like I might have to fight gorgeous blogger…
What Wendy Wore: Addicted to Castelbajac
In 2009, I wandered into a Jean-Charles de Castelbajac store in London and instantly became a huge fan of his work. My best and most-frequently-worn purchase was definitely the patent rainbow loafers. But I also love my boob-cloud top, sidewalk-traffic-stopping Lego dress, sailor outfit and smiling skirt. When I was in Paris last month, I…
Nero Portoro Manicure by Tracylee Percival
Here’s my latest gel manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival. Tracylee used Gelish colors Black Shadow, Sleek White and Allure. We’re calling this look “Nero Portoro” after a kind of black marble mined in Italy. Here’s another shot of the nails with my hashtag ring. All you Twitter addicts need that ring! Speaking of Twitter,…
Mood Boards R Us: An Interview With “Wicked Halo”
In June, after I read that British It girl Alexa Chung called fashion blogs “ridiculous … just mood boards,” I promised I would interview bloggers who sent me awesome mood boards (aka collages of movie stills, roses, shoes and pensive models holding cigarettes). The first interviewee was gorgeous blogger Megan Mae. I’m finally getting my…

Check out this cheerful vintage Charles Jourdan bag, made with leather, suede and silk. It’s $265 at Frock. This would definitely liven up an all-black outfit. New Yorkers, take note!
What Wendy Wore: Weathering the Last Day of Lollapalooza
After all the Eminem excitement, my sister Terri Berry and I decided to take it easy at Lollapalooza yesterday. We got a couple of Bud Lights, spread our beach towel on the lawn and sat in the sun to listen to the Cars. I wore a Pucci top I got years ago. According to gorgeous…
We Survived Eminem at Lollapalooza
I’ve grudgingly attended only a few general-admission concerts and then only at very small venues. I missed the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art because I couldn’t bear to wait in line for more than an hour. But yesterday I waited — mostly on my feet and with no food — for…
