While visiting my parents in Florida last week, my gorgeous mother and I scoped out ultra-chic store Marissa Collections. I wanted to see if my jewelry designs would be a good fit for Marissa’s luxury jewelry department (yes!) but, of course, we couldn’t resist browsing the shoe department. I’d been keeping an eye out for…

This Is as Naked as I’ve Ever Been on This Blog
The blogosphere is amazing. In yesterday’s post, I joked that my next career should be “paper doll.” That career is now underway thanks to the gorgeous and artistic Megan Mae of Megan Mae Daily. Here is the WendyB doll that Megan drew for me. As you can see, Megan nailed my cross-legged pose. The doll…
What We Wore: On the Town With Gangsta Boo
My gorgeous Atlanta-based rapper friend Lola Mitchell, aka Gangsta Boo, came to New York City this weekend to perform with Mach Five on their Ratchet Shit tour. (Best name evah for a tour because you can do any gross thing and blame it on the theme.) The show wasn’t until Sunday, so MrB took me,…
Wednesday’s Video: Skulls, Sharks, and Lipstick
On the surface, this week’s YouTube video is about the casual outfit of a t-shirt and jeans that I wore to a meeting with Brecken Branstrator, a gorgeous senior editor at National Jeweler. It sounds so basic, right? Never fear! As always, I have a story for everything, so the t-shirt and jeans lead to…
Throwback Thursday: 1 Wedding, 1 Anniversary
My gorgeous friend Alyssa Brownell and her fabulous man, Robert, got married last month. Alyssa wore my 18K gold tiara, as I’ve mentioned. The entire day was beautiful.

Wednesday’s Video: Casual Day!
In a recent video, I spoke about the joy of buying (and wearing!) statement clothing instead of basic pieces. But do I wear decades-old Ossie Clark jackets and beaded ’20s-style dresses all the time? Nope! Most of the time, you’ll catch me in jeans and a t-shirt, like this. What Wendy Wore T-shirt: Damien Hirst via…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry in K-Note Magazine
This is certainly my week for international recognition! First, my Pink Elephant and Tipsy Writer Maneater ring was on the cover of Jewellery News Asia. Now, two of my designs are in K-Note, a Turkish magazine that goes to luxury car customers. Hopefully, those readers are luxury jewelry customers too. The pieces are part of…
MTV VMAs Fashion Flashback: Madonna in 1995
In honor of tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards, the always-highlarious Michael K of the blog Dlisted shared a classic clip from the 1995 VMAs, when Courtney Love threw a MAC compact at Madonna before crashing the latter’s pre-show interview with Kurt Loder. “Courtney Love is in dire need of attention right now,” Madonna observed. I…
What Wendy Wore: Lady Gaga Concert at Roseland
Yesterday was Lady Gaga’s 28th birthday, and my designing friend Stacy Lomman and I celebrated by going to the first of seven Gaga concerts at Roseland Ballroom. Gaga’s shows are Roseland’s swan song: The venue, which has been on West 52nd Street since 1958, will be razed and replaced with a residential tower. Roseland has…
Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2013
Here’s a “What Wendy Wore” outfit for each month of 2013. Click the photos for the original posts. I got the year off to a lively start with the vintage dress I wore last New Year’s Eve. I wore fuchsia again in February to Vanity Fair’s Oscar party. My designing friend Zang Toi made this…
