Ten years and five days ago, MrB and I attended the big Times Square premiere of the latest King Kong remake. That’s the one that starred Jack Black, Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody.

What Wendy Wore: Halloween With Ringo Starr
I like to catch Ringo Starr‘s show whenever he’s in town, so I got tickets for his October 31 concert at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn. I figured I’d dress the part of a Beatles fan in the “Mod girl” outfit I’d worn once before for Halloween. It wasn’t until last week that I realized I’d…
Throwback Thursday: Halloween 2005
Ten years ago, for Halloween, I dressed as a Mod in an original 1960s Ossie Clark dress and white vinyl bubble hat. The white go-go boots were reproductions. My hair was shorter then. MrB was … well, I guess he was a guy wearing a mustache. Other favorite Halloween throwbacks: Diamond Doodles’s 2014 doodles with…
Wanderlust 2015: London, Bath and Alexander McQueen
I’m in need of a vacation … from the vacation I just took. MrB and I like to spend our off-time in other cities, especially London and Paris. We wind up dashing from dinners with friends to the theater, from the theater to concerts, from concerts to museums. Last year, we got in some relaxation…

What Wendy Wore: AGTA Spectrum Awards in Tucson
Earlier this month, I was in Arizona for the big Tucson Gem & Mineral Show. The temperature in New York fell to about 5 degrees that week, so I was delighted to be in warmer cactus country. I have excellent gem dealers in New York City, but it can still be tough to find very…

The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday: My friend Al Radley, expert on designer Ossie Clark, said the Ossie dress I wore at the Plaza is printed with a Celia Birtwell design called “Tassels.” It’s a rare dress, he said! Tuesday: Yolandi Li$$er and I share a love…
What Wendy Wore: Maneaters at the Plaza Hotel
I had a private event at the Plaza Hotel last Thursday in order to present my entire Maneater ring collection to press and retailers. The centerpiece of the display was supposed to be my new Pink Elephant and Tipsy Writer ring, but it was absent for a good reason — a photoshoot related to its…
The Weeks in Review
Whoa! I haven’t done a “week in review” post in nearly a month! My big posts since then were the ones I did this week about my travels in Europe in July: We started off in Liverpool, indulging my love for the Beatles. After that, we went to London where, during a whirlwind stay, we…
