I’m debuting some new jewelry at the trunk show tonight. One of my personal favorites is the Siobhan Ring. This ring was inspired by a story that my friend Siobhan (pronounced “shi-vawn,” not “cee-oh-bahn”) told me about her mother. Back in the day, Mum collected old gold wedding bands and wore all of them stacked…
Blending In
Gorgeous blogger Jill from Trend de la Creme is too good to be true. Yesterday, when I speculated that a dress I saw on eBay MUST match a work of art, she came through with multiple suggestions. Today, she topped that by Photoshopping me and the dress into the art. “Where’s WendyB?” Clearly, if I…
Dame Is Two Letters Away From Dumb
When my former dream client, actress Helen Mirren, said some shizz about date rape to GQ earlier this year, I didn’t say anything because I never read the original article (of course, neither did the majority of the people who were crapping their pants about it). From what I read about the article, it seemed…
Wish List
My birthday is coming up in December. I’m sure many of you are reacting to that news by thinking, “I only have $15,000 to spend on Wendy’s birthday present. What in the world will I get her?” Not to worry. I would be thrilled to get a needlepoint pillow by Brigid Berlin, and what do…
Camouflage on eBay
I would like to wear this dress to a modern art museum and attempt to blend in with a painting. Maybe Jill at Trend de la Creme can find the right painting for me. The shapes remind me of this Picasso but the color scheme is wrong. UPDATED TO ADD: Jill came through for me,…
Old Yeller
Before you vote on a J.Crew corduroy color for me in my poll on the right, keep in mind that not only do I have this citron skirt, but I also have this one. I think the above skirt can safely be described as a “vintage” Versace, if we define vintage as “that skirt length…
Krazy Katt
When my new hero, comedian Katt Williams, forgot to show up for Conan O’Brien and got himself arrested on gun charges all in one week, I assumed the hilarious mofo was hitting the crack pipe a little too hard. Katt Williams says, “Use crack in moderation!” Instead it seems Katt done gone crazy and might…
Best J. Crew Ad Ever
Just as I was posting about J. Crew’s “matchstick”-cut, neon pink corduroys earlier this week, gorgeous blogger Karen of Of a Certain Age was getting the same cords in an intense citron color. How desperately do you want these now? Karen looks amazing! After seeing this photo, I feel like anyone with any sense at…
America’s Lost Band: The Remains
I’ve become intrigued by The Remains, a ’60s group that opened for the Beatles, appeared on Ed Sullivan, put out one album and then broke up. Photo source There’s a Remains documentary called America’s Lost Band that I would love to see. Meanwhile, I’m definitely getting Ticket to Ride, a book about that 1966 tour…
Beautiful Bloggers and Baubles, Part II
I am unable to resist following up yesterday’s post with this exceptionally adorable self-portrait by Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams, who is modeling her new WendyB-designed Diana Ring. If cuteness were against the law, I’d have to make a citizen’s arrest!
