The Footwear Creeps in on Little Mouse Feet

September 20, 2007 by WendyB

Fasshonburu pointed out these mouse shoes by the late Marc Jacobs (he’s not really dead, just late, so please stop crying). I asked myself, “Self, would mouse feet make you happy?” But upon serious reflection, I realized that only fish feet will do. Alas. “Jaws Platform Pumps” aren’t going to appease me either. Fish or…

Thursday Book Club: Anne Boleyn, Continued

September 20, 2007 by WendyB

My interpretation of Anne Boleyn’s famous initial pendant (Boleyn Necklace © Wendy Brandes 2007-2008) (Photo by John Muggenborg) I’m continuing last week’s post on Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII of England, or “Henry teh 8” as I will now call him thanks to whoever hit my blog with that search term. In…

Amusing Gift Ideas From Noted Co.

September 19, 2007 by WendyB

Noted Co. wholesales fun little things to museums, gift shops and snazzy toy stores. I was very taken by the Japanese papercraft kits. All of the pieces have moving parts, which I love, but the darkly humorous names are even better. The fish and carving knife piece pictured is called “Doomed.” Click here to find…

Fish Feet. I Want Them.

September 19, 2007 by WendyB

Christian Louboutin still hasn’t sent me these delightful shoes despite my helpful hints on this blog. Now Shoewawa tortures me with this post. Bad Shoewawa! How could anyone fail to see how perfect my life would be if only I had fish feet? My previous fishy posts: August 23 August 29

Loyalty and Devotion*

September 18, 2007 by WendyB

I am feeling guilty that I have posted many pictures of my dogs Henry and Gigi without posting a picture of my first Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs. This is me holding Mr. Chubbs in 2003. The t-shirt is not a fashion statement. He had allergies and kept scratching himself, so I put a t-shirt on him…

I Hope Angelina Jolie Doesn’t Get Nervous

September 18, 2007 by WendyB

Alas, Jezebel got to this before I could, but two days after the New York Times ran a big story on inconclusive/meaningless science, the Wall Street Journal reported that some pregnant women are freaking out over whether their lower-back tattoos make getting an epidural dangerous. Why are they freaking out? Because Pregnancy magazine ran a…

Perk Up Your Grey Wardrobe

September 17, 2007 by WendyB

I decided I needed a necklace to match all the grey that everyone will be wearing this fall. This is my Papessa Prayer Locket in 18K white gold and pink sapphires. Papessa Prayer Locket © Wendy Brandes 2007-2008(Photos by SquareMoose) The chain is 28″ long, so it will fit over your turtlenecks and chunky knits….

Blogs Are Getting So Much Respect…

September 17, 2007 by WendyB

… that soon they will be considered Old Media and the bloggers will be complaining about a passel of New New Media whippersnappers eating their lunch! Speaking of meals, ParisBreakfasts pointed out a gushy Herald Trib story on fashion bloggers. Congrats to everyone mentioned in it, but I hope this Chris Cholette fella didn’t have…

The Late Marc Jacobs

September 17, 2007 by WendyB

Run, tiny Marc Jacobs, run! The angry villagers are coming with their torches and pitchforks! Yes, that’s him on the left. Last week, I was too outraged by Marc Jacobs’s outrage at our outrage to post about it. Confused? The Marc Jacobs show last Monday started two hours late. Word had gotten out that the…

Edie Falco Wins Best Emmy Hair … IMHO

September 17, 2007 by WendyB

This is NOT how she looked last night. Click here to see last night’s hairdo. Didn’t Edie Falco look great last night? My very own personal hair guru, Keith Carpenter, did her hair. Good job, Keith! And of course I think Edie should have won because I am a huge Sopranos fan.
