If you are a new reader who is visiting due to my Marie Claire story<\/a>, you might be wondering what the hell is going on here. If you’re an old reader who joined me at some point since I started this blog last July, you might be wondering the same thing.<\/p>\n

Please allow me to introduce myself!<\/a><\/p>\n

This is, ostensibly, a fashion\/style blog. You’ll notice that most of the other blogs I link to, over there on the right side of the screen, are fashion\/style blogs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is my favorite look: a vintage dress, a faux-ny tail and a big smile.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I also write about my other interests, including history<\/a>, books<\/a>, feminism<\/a>, dogs<\/a> and things that annoy me. Occasionally, all those topics overlap<\/a>. I swear a lot <\/a>when things annoy me, and also when they don’t. If you have a problem with that, you should visit some other fucking site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This blog is called Wendy Brandes Jewelry<\/a> because I am a jewelry designer and started this to promote my jewelry. Sometimes I remember to do that<\/a>. Luckily, most of my jewelry is inspired by queens<\/a> or other fascinating ladies<\/a>. I write about these women in my Book Club<\/a> posts. Among my favorites are Anne Boleyn<\/a> and the Empresses Wu and Matilda. Here are some links:<\/p>\n
