The Most Interesting Woman in the World

November 30, 2009 by WendyB

After two Mexican beers — including one Dos Equis — at Dos Caminos, I thought it would be a great idea to take a picture between two friendly-looking cacti. I am obsessed with the “The Most Interesting Man in the World” ads for Dos Equis. My favorite one is the ad where we are told…

Francis Graffiti Dress Plus Tights

September 30, 2009 by WendyB

I had a fabulous time tonight with my gorgeous friends Shari and Ashley at Christian Francis Roth‘s studio. But I consumed so much Champagne that I totally forgot to take pictures, even though the ladies looked awesome in his clothes! I hope they will humor me by sending me some photos of their purchases. In…

New York Fashion Week Frocks

September 16, 2009 by WendyB

It’s always fun to dress up for New York Fashion Week. In addition to the two tartan dresses I wore on Friday, I’ve worn dresses I’ll describe as new-old, old-old and new-new. For Fashion’s Night Out, I went with new-old. This Ossie Clark dress was made more than 30 years ago. I won it on…

Tartan Two Ways and a Broken Clock

September 13, 2009 by WendyB

On Friday, I wore Zang Toi’s tartan dress to his Spring 2010 show, then changed into a tartan Francis dress for my Fashion’s Night Out after-party at Christian Francis Roth’s studio. Zang’s presentation was in his showroom. Before it started, I was pondering Miss Universe’s French pedicure until Ivana Trump sat down in front of…

Runway to Bloggers’ Night Out

August 20, 2009 by WendyB

I’ve always liked the “runway to red carpet/editorial/music video” posts — with side-by-side comparisons of a dress on the runway and real life — that beauteous blogger Fashion Critic does at Red Carpet Fashion Awards. Last month’s “runway to red carpet” post on Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman jumped out at me.A  Fashion Critic wrote: “Many…

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

August 13, 2009 by WendyB

Jean from Ghost Tailor ch-ch-ch-changed the neckline of my favorite Francis graffiti dress. (Don’t worry! Christian approves.) Here’s the new look, paired with my Nuit ring in the ugly hallway. Here’s the old look in sunny Paris. Here’s David Bowie. Speaking of rock stars, I wore the updated dress (get yours at Bloomie’s!) to dinner…

Mad, Plaid and Dangerous to Know

June 17, 2009 by WendyB

British poet Lord Byron (1788–1824) was famously described by one lover, Lady Caroline Lamb, as “mad, bad, and dangerous to know.” Do you think that phrase just rolled off her tongue in a “Eureka!” moment? Or did she secretly test out several options before hitting the Bartlett’s jackpot? From the desk of Lady Caroline Lamb…
