Throwback Thursday: Final Summer 2019 Lewks

November 14, 2019 by WendyB

Like I said last month, activism has taken a lot out of me and I didn’t blog my relatively few interesting summer looks in a timely fashion. Even in that October post, I only managed two. So here’s the best of the rest from my slow-fashion summer of 2019. On June 12, I was excited…

Flashback Friday: Bonn, Vienna, Empress Sisi

September 15, 2017 by WendyB

After a few days in Paris in June, MrB and I went to Bonn, Germany, where MrB was taking part in the Global Media Forum. I attended a panel he did about Trump and the media, and live-tweeted it; check out his description of the way in which Trump differs from Nixon. Then we went to…

Wanderlust 2015: What Wendy Wore in Paris

August 13, 2015 by WendyB

We left London for Paris on Monday, August 3. Paris empties out in August because so many Parisians take a nice long holiday. (Several of our Parisian friends were in New York while we were in their city.) I think everyone who was left in the city was sitting along the Seine that night. Whenever…

Wanderlust 2014: I Tuned In to Liverpool

August 11, 2014 by WendyB

Back in 1980, I got a fever and the only prescription was John, Paul, George and Ringo. Since then, I’ve wanted to go to Liverpool, the Fab Four’s hometown. It’s difficult to schedule a trip to Liverpool though. It doesn’t top most non-Beatlemaniac vacation lists, so every year, I’ve told myself, “Maybe next year.” Then…

Just When I Thought I Was Out …

June 5, 2012 by WendyB

… they pull me back in. I truly believed I had quit flower pinching for good. I hadn’t pinched a flower since 2011. But I could not resist these peonies. Send me back to Flower-Pinchers Anonymous!

New Jewelry Collection: Memento Mori Skulls in 18K Gold

July 18, 2011 by WendyB

Because of the soaring prices of gold and silver, many jewelers are using less metal in their work. That means a knuckleduster-size ring feels surprisingly light considering how big it looks. My jewelry has always been about heft, because I like the feel — not just the appearance — of luxury. I have pieces that…

Wangsta Shoe, Purchased in Phoenix

March 20, 2010 by WendyB

My old K. Jacques wedges were so stretched out that they were falling off my feet, so I got these to replace them. I discovered that my summer shoes were in a bad way when I sneaked off to Phoenix for a few days this week. While I was there, I saw gorgeous blogger Practical…

Been There, Done That

September 18, 2008 by WendyB

After I posted a picture of my gorgeous client Melissa’s new pixie hairdo, a few peeps asked me if I would ever consider a pixie. Been there, done that! Here’s proof from October 1992. I was being silly with lipstick in the Great Outdoors at the request of my gorgeous friend Phil, who was wielding…
