Throwback Thursday: Pink Sweater and a Black Dog

April 5, 2018 by WendyB

For Throwback Thursday, I present a photo from almost exactly 17 years ago. I still have those 18K gold hoop earrings, but the colorblocked pink turtleneck is long gone. Alas, so is Molly, my parents’ black Pekingese. She lived to a ripe old age and then departed for the big doggy bed in the sky…

Throwback Thursday: Adele in Concert

February 23, 2017 by WendyB

When I was writing about Beyoncé, Adele, and the Grammys on Monday, I wanted to link to my post about Adele’s concert at Madison Square Garden last September.

September 1, 2016 by WendyB

The MTV Video Music Awards have kept Beyoncé on my mind, so it’s a good day to finally do my Beyoncé concert post.  MrB and I caught the Formation Tour at New York’s Citi Field on June 7 — in between my return from the JCK jewelry trade show in Las Vegas and our trip…

Throwback Thursday: Bastille Day in Paris

July 14, 2016 by WendyB

I miss being in Paris for Bastille Day! There was a three-year stretch when we were there. MrB and I were hoping to go revive our tradition and go this year, but we didn’t get ourselves organized in time. I’m looking at some throwback outfit/style photos instead. I keep forgetting that my hair was this…
