What Wendy Wore: Smells Like Teen Spirit
I’ve been listening to Nirvana’s Nevermind album recently. When it came out in 1991, I got it on cassette after work and ran home to listen to it even though I had the beginnings of a headache. In fact, I listened to it over and over on full blast until my headache developed into a…
What Zang Toi Wore: WendyB’s Dragon Cufflinks
My designing friend Zang Toi was honored by a local chapter of the Organization of Chinese Americans on Saturday. When he first found out he was going to receive OCA’s Dynamic Achiever award, he set about trying to organize his friends to attend the awards dinner in Tarrytown, N.Y. But getting 30 or more Manhattanites…
Foot Fetish: Hi-Wedge Sneakers
I’ve wanted a pair of high-wedge sneakers for a long time. Last year, I tried on these happy-looking See by Chloe sneakers, but they didn’t fit. I noticed this pair by Ash on Saks.com last weekend. They don’t make my heart sing so much that I want to order them, but if I wandered by…
I Spy My Yigal Azrouël on Law & Order
I’m hard at work on changes to my website that I hope will be implemented later this month. As always, the computer is on my lap and Law & Order reruns are on the TV. I looked up just in time to recognize a brightly colored dress on a character who was being questioned by…

Do Fashion Bloggers Read Newspapers?
They should, but that’s a post for another day. In the meantime, I wanted to let the newsprint-averse know that the New York Times has a big article about all of your magazine-related idols: Anna Dello Russo, Kate Lanphear, Carine Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia. (Maybe you can read it on your iPads!) I wonder if…
What Wendy Wore: Alleviating Non-Buyer’s Remorse
I rarely suffer from buyer’s remorse. In the past five years, there have been two inexpensive vintage dresses from eBay that even the talented Jean of Ghost Tailor couldn’t get to fit right. Then there was one unflattering dress — Oscar de la Renta, I believe — that a vintage-store owner with whom I’d had…
Jewels of the Month: Hathor Ring and Earrings
Meet Hathor! Hathor was an important — and multitasking — ancient Egyptian goddess. She was the goddess of beauty, joy, romance, dance and incense. She was also the Sovereign of Stars who welcomed the dead into the afterlife. In her spare time, she was the Mistress of Turquoise and the patron saint of miners. She…
Custom Wedding Band for Iron Man Thom
Last year, I had the thrill of doing a custom engagement ring for handsome blogger Thom of The Sunday Best and his gorgeous fiancée, Sharon. It was the first engagement/wedding ring I ever did for a blogger; since then I’ve done many! Thom and Sharon must have brought me good luck. Sharon’s Asscher-cut diamond set…
