I overcame last week’s moment of doubt and wore my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard print gown to Vanity Fair’s Oscar Party last night. Not only was I glad to wear the dress again — I feel like I’m not done with it! I want to wear yet again soon. I’m obsessed with this dress. Next…

On the Town: Pre-Oscar Party in Los Angeles
MrB and I are on a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles. Last night, we went to The Weinstein Co. pre-Oscar party, where we discreetly ogled the dashing actor Colin Firth, who is sure to win an Oscar for his work in The King’s Speech. I continued my non-wardrobe-remixing tradition by wearing nearly the exact same…
What Wendy Wore: Meeting Editors With Stacy Lomman
Gorgeous clothing designer/blogger Stacy Lomman and I had a joint meet-and-greet with a number of magazine editors, stylists and bloggers on Wednesday. It’s important for journalists to see my designs up close. Even the best photos don’t convey the beauty of jewelry the way seeing a ring on your own finger does. And Stacy’s clothes…
Fashion Bloggers Caught Red-Legged
Earlier this week, I invited y’all to send me pictures of yourselves wearing red tights, leggings or pants. I was inspired by the red legs on display at the Independent Fashion Bloggers Evolving Influence conference on February 10. Here are the gorgeous fashion bloggers I’ve caught red-legged. Click their photos to visit their blogs. I…
Two Heads Below André Leon Talley in The Daily
I didn’t get a chance to post about it during Fashion Week, but I was very excited to be mentioned in the February 10, 2011, issue of The Daily, the must-read magazine handed out at the fashion shows. A Daily reporter asked me for my opinion of WikiLeaks back in January at the Fashion Group…
Pondering the Patrick Kelly Leopard Dress, Again
Y’all know that I love to wear my vintage Patrick Kelly leopard gown for a big event on an annual basis. I got the dress on eBay in April 2008 and opened the package just as I was getting dressed for a Tribeca Film Festival party. Before I put on the Ossie Clark dress I…
What Wendy Wore: New York Fashion Week
I barely thought about fashion during New York Fashion Week because I was distracted by my work on a non-fashion event. But I still got out to support two of my friends. Gorgeous blogger Jennine — the founder of Independent Fashion Bloggers — held her Evolving Influence Fashion Bloggers Conference at MAC & Milk Studios…
On the Town: Huffington and Didion at Columbia Spectator Dinner
I work on a lot of non-jewelry and non-blog projects, but I don’t always write about them here. One of those — which I alluded to in this December post but didn’t name — is my chairmanship of the board of alumni trustees of the Columbia Daily Spectator, my alma mater‘s student newspaper. I was…
Thoughts on Lara Logan
On Sunday, I wrote about how I’ve learned to save my wrath for real-life sexist outrages instead of getting agitated over songs and movies. I’m devastated that an example of the former has come to light so soon. CBS reported that its foreign correspondent Lara Logan “was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual…
Lady Gaga Gives Me Crazy Jewelry Ideas
Last year, I made myself a special set of rings to wear to a Lady Gaga concert. I’ve posted them before on this blog, but here’s another look at them just for the hell of it. After I saw the photos of Gaga’s egg-tacular entrance at the Grammys on Sunday, I kept thinking, “This reminds…
