I was digging the short hairdos at MTV’s Video Music Awards last night. Of course, Pink has been a devotee of short hair for years. But she had more company than usual at the VMAs. Miley Cyrus went short last month, and her hair looked great glammed up for the event. I’ve adored many of…

What We Wore: On the Town With Gangsta Boo
My gorgeous Atlanta-based rapper friend Lola Mitchell, aka Gangsta Boo, came to New York City this weekend to perform with Mach Five on their Ratchet Shit tour. (Best name evah for a tour because you can do any gross thing and blame it on the theme.) The show wasn’t until Sunday, so MrB took me,…

I started this blog in 2007 with the motto “Wear What You Want.” As I explain in my FAQ: “I chose ‘Wear What You Want’ as my blog’s motto because I want people to know the style rules … and then break them! Forget the self-appointed fashion police who snark on anyone who shows a…

What Wendy Wore: A Mullet Comes Out of the Closet
A couple of years ago, I bought a 1980s Patrick Kelly dress on eBay. When it arrived, I was surprised that it was a knit. A big, formless knit. I brought the dress to Jean at Ghost Tailor for alterations, then stuck it in my closet until I felt I could cope with a disappointing…
What Wendy Wore: Feeling Like a Real Housewife
Tonight, MrB and I went to the Tribeca Film Festival cocktail party where I debuted my Patrick Kelly leopard-print dress to great acclaim back in 2008. There was no way to top that sartorial experience, so I wore a less-controversial flapper dress that I last wore in 2009. To be a little crazy, I skipped my usual…

What Wendy Wore: Vanity Fair Oscar Party and Leopard Week
I overcame last week’s moment of doubt and wore my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard print gown to Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party last night. Not only was I glad to wear the dress again — I feel like I’m not done with it! I want to wear yet again soon. I’m obsessed with this dress. Next…

What Wendy Wore: New York Fashion Week
I barely thought about fashion during New York Fashion Week because I was distracted by my work on a non-fashion event. But I still got out to support two of my friends. Gorgeous blogger Jennine — the founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers — held her Evolving Influence Fashion Bloggers Conference at MAC & Milk Studios…
