I would like this Salvador Dali “Bird in Hand” compact. It reminds me of some of my more complicated jewelry pieces. It’s only $3,800, so what are you waiting for? I would also gladly accept this vintage Moschino faucet jacket. The starting bid is $795 on eBay. Don’t forget to snipe!
California, Here I Come
I’m heading to L.A. today. If you are in the area and want to meet me and some gorgeous bloggers for dinner on Wednesday, let me know ASAP! You’ll get a chance to meet: ENC of Observation Mode La Belette Rouge Alicia from Instant Vintage Sister Wolf from Godammit, I’m Mad Deja Pseu from Une…
The Post Without Any Fireman Photos
It’s my gorgeous sister Terri Berry’s birthday today! I was recently going through some photos from my wedding in July 2001 and would like to share this one of the Berry clowning around in front of me, our parents and the about-to-be-MrB. She had that navy gown already and had only worn it once before,…
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Jean from Ghost Tailor ch-ch-ch-changed the neckline of my favorite Francis graffiti dress. (Don’t worry! Christian approves.) Here’s the new look, paired with my Nuit ring in the ugly hallway. Here’s the old look in sunny Paris. Here’s David Bowie. Speaking of rock stars, I wore the updated dress (get yours at Bloomie’s!) to dinner…
Not Exactly a Dime a Dozen
When I get a particularly amazing piece of clothing, I don’t like to show it to people — or even tell them about it — until I get to wear it. That can take months or, occasionally, years. I’m making an exception to my rule due to gorgeous blogger Couture Carrie, who last month wrote…
Outfit Post: Vintage Ungaro Dress From Frock
It can take me months or, more rarely, years, till I wear certain pieces of clothing. Last night was the first time I wore a vintage Ungaro dress that I got on March 20, 2008. (I remember the date because I got the dress at my friend Evan Ross’s trunk show for his store Frock,…
This Drum Roll Has a Nice Ring to It
Last week, I introduced the Francis Fall ’09 collection with a drum roll of sorts. Gorgeous ex-blogger ENC took pity on me and emailed me to say that her husband, a professional drummer, would kindly do some drum roll videos for me so that I would be able to announce things with the appropriate fanfare…
Summer Colors on Allison
A few weeks ago, I met up with gorgeous interior designer Allison Tick. I loved the chunky coral necklace she was wearing with a blue top. I think that color combination is perfect for summer. It also makes me think of the Caribbean. If I wear blue and coral in February, will I feel like…
Celebrities Wear WendyB and Francis
I’m finally starting to see the results of my plan to take over the world: two hot celebrities are wearing WendyB-approved items this week. The first is Alexa Chung, the MTV It Girl who makes all the fashion bloggers’ hearts go pitter patter. She’s wearing the Matilda sword necklace from my jewelry line on page…
Confession: I Worked for “Birther” Lover Lou Dobbs
Lately, immigrant-hating CNN maniac Lou Dobbs is getting a lot of publicity for giving airtime to “birthers” — people who are convinced by the aliens who control their minds via chips installed during anal probes that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, instead of Hawaii. Some of you know that before I was a jewelry…
