What Wendy Wore: Coachella 2017
Coachella kicked off the music-festival season last weekend, which means its time for dozens — or possibly hundreds — of music-festival-fashion stories. I was out there in Indio, Calif., and, as I mentioned on my personal Instagram, I enjoyed checking out what other people were wearing, even though I didn’t emulate the sex-ay looks. Commentary…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry in InStore Magazine
A belated thank you to the lovely Beth Bernstein (aka Beth Bejeweled) for including my Frog and Prince Maneater ring in InStore Magazine’s feature on spring jewelry! The Frog and Prince ring was the first design in my Maneater series and I feel like I’ve neglected it a little. It’s true that it’s not set…
Seen in New York City
It was a beautiful spring day in New York City, so I took a few photos to share with you. I was inspired when I came upon these two models modeling. Then I noticed a window box of flowers. I appreciate these. It’s like, “Yay! Someone’s making an effort.” My favorite flowers are blue ones…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry in The National

(The National is the English-language daily newspaper of the United Arab Emirates, so hello to Abu Dhabi!) I told Panna about one of my jewelry inspirations — a ring I first wrote…

Hippity-Hoppity Easter Earrings
Thank you to Amy Elliott from JCK for including my bunny earrings in her Easter round-up of rabbit jewelry. Amy showed my 18K gold bunnies … … but I also have them in silver. And they’re not just for Easter, you know — they stay cute all year long! Fellow Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans…
Flashback Friday: The 1985 Fiorucci Dress
Four years ago, I shared a photo of my favorite dress from 1985, which I’m convinced came from my very favorite store, Fiorucci. Unfortunately, you could only see part of the dress in the picture, because I was sitting down. Well, a miracle has occurred and I found another photo from the same night. Even…
Throwback Thursday: What Wendy Wore in January
Yesterday, I finally got around to writing about January’s Columbia Spectator fundraising dinner, at which Dan Rather was the keynote speaker. So it seems like the right time for the outfit post from that evening. This one has a guest star: my right-hand woman and branding chief, Eryn Patton, who joined me for the dinner….
