I’m a member of the Women’s Jewelry Association<\/a>, so I attended the networking group’s 30th annual Awards for Excellence gala last night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Monica Stephenson<\/a> of idazzle.com<\/a> — one of June’s Vegas Gems<\/a> gang — was nominated for an award in the media category. She didn’t win the award, but her outfit was as WINNING<\/a> as Charlie Sheen with tiger’s blood<\/a>! Check out Monica’s Helmut Lang gown worn with a backwards necklace (aka back-lace).<\/p>\n

This look deserves a prize!<\/p><\/div>\n

Barbara Palumbo<\/a> of Jeff Cooper Designs<\/a> (another Vegas Gem) looked delicious in orange chiffon by Halston Heritage.<\/p>\n

Barbara’s perfect summer look.<\/p><\/div>\n

Barbara and I sat next to each other at dinner and goofed around with our camera phones.<\/p>\n

Mwah!<\/p><\/div>\n

As for me, I figured a jewelry-industry event was a good place to wear all gold everything<\/a>, so I wore a gold dress from gorgeous designer Stacy Lomman<\/a>‘s Spring 2011 “Precious Metals<\/a>” collection.<\/p>\n

What Wendy Wore<\/strong>
\nDress:<\/strong> Stacy Lomman (2011, previously seen here<\/a> and here<\/a>)<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Same Prada shoes I always wear with this dress (2011)<\/em>
\nJewelry:<\/strong> All my own designs<\/a> except for one bracelet from MrB and one bracelet that was a 16th-birthday gift from my grandfather<\/em>
\nLip color:<\/strong> A combination of two very old Trish McEvoy<\/a> lipsticks
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

When I got home that night and got into my building’s elevator, I started fishing around in my cork clutch (seen in this 2010 post<\/a>) for my key. I dropped the purse, everything fell out, and I could only watch in horror while one of my two lipsticks rolled slowly into a narrow crack and fell down the elevator shaft.\u00a0 Luckily, gorgeous Twitter friend Louise<\/a> knew the right way to console me.<\/p>\n

\nThat image cheers me up immensely! Trolls deserve nice lipstick too.<\/p>\n
