What Wendy Wore: A Week in South Beach
Last week, MrB and I both had business in Miami, so we decided to spend a few extra days in South Beach for relaxation. I hadn’t been there since 2008, and either my memory is failing or the place has totally changed. To the best of my recollection the dress code during my last visit…

Elizabeth Taylor: A Diamond’s Best Friend
The world lost a screen goddess today: actress Elizabeth Taylor has died at the age of 79. She lived an amazingly long life considering her myriad health problems, which included a bout of pneumonia and an emergency tracheotomy in 1961. Shortly after that crisis, Taylor won her first Academy Award for Best Actress for her…
Fashion Bloggers Caught Red-Legged, Vintage Edition
I found my own red-pants photo too late for yesterday’s post on red-legged bloggers, so it gets a special post. This was taken in Prague in 1999 or so. I’m a little demoralized to see how long I’ve been dependent on black t-shirts. I had those pants in black too. I gave away the red…

I’m in a Rush Today
It’s been like 1982 around here because I can’t stop listening to Rush. “Subdivisions” sure rang true for me in high school. My best friend and I had crushes on Rush vocalist/keyboardist/bassist Geddy Lee. The bassists always get to me.
A Badge for Your Blog: Fashion Bloggers Helping Japan
People have responded to the disaster in Japan in myriad ways via social media, just as they have in real life. Some have tweeted and blogged about it, some haven’t. Some people care passionately about what’s happening in the world, some continue to be entirely engrossed in their own lives. Several fashion bloggers, including the…
Mariel’s Engagement Ring Reminds Me of ABBA
When gorgeous blogger Mariel of Preppy With a Twist asked me to create her engagement ring, I immediately got ABBA’s “Waterloo” stuck in my head. It took me a while to recall that the song was featured in a key scene of the 1994 movie Muriel’s Wedding. In the movie, Toni Collette is shy Muriel…
