Last week, MrB and I were invited to a large dinner that was also attended by various politicians and the people who love politicians. I decided to wear an Ossie Clark dress even though I had the feeling I should be wearing a suit instead. I asked MrB for his opinion. WendyB: “Do you think [...]

My post about panda dresses reminded me of a fashion fad from my childhood: clip-on koalas. For a year or so, it was de rigueur to walk around with a small, stuffed koala toy clipped to one’s shirt or jacket. They came in gray and tan. Eventually there was a clip-on panda too. I was [...]

I used to have a tie-dyed cashmere sweater. It made me look like a rainbow had thrown up on me. Only one tiny photo of it exists. I got rid of the sweater long ago, but I thought of it as soon as I saw these shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem. If I had [...]

On Monday, gorgeous designer/blogger Stacy of taffetadarlings was over at my place cutting patterns for her new dress designs while I put price tags on my jewelry ahead of my sample sale. (You can still contribute money to Stacy’s September fashion show via Kickstarter; lots of expenses need to be covered. Lighting is big bucks, [...]

An acquaintance recently said of my blog, “All you do is post pictures of yourself, right?” I laughed because that comment was a perfect counterbalance to the time that I was rejected from a fashion-blogging network — not the wonderful Independent Fashion Bloggers, obvs — because I’d recently posted about the 7th century’s Empress Wu [...]

Gorgeous clients and would-be clients often ask me if I do custom work. My standard reply is, “If you can describe it and pay for it, I will do it.”* Is your style more traditional than mine? More modern? Less edgy? More edgy? Doesn’t matter. But it can be hard for people to imagine all [...]

Last week, I had the pleasure of having gorgeous blogger Jennine from The Coveted as my houseguest for the second time in a month. We had grand plans for various photo shoots but they all fell apart. The only picture I got of Jennine was a rare one of her in her lounging-around clothes, hanging [...]

In this week’s post about my 2001 wedding, I didn’t mention my two canine guests, though I’d previously done so. I’m sad to tell you that the second of the two dog participants has gone to the great doggy bed in the sky. My Pekingese, Mr. Chubbs, died in 2006. This Wednesday, my parents’ Pekingese, [...]

Since I launched the redesigned blog, I’ve been using a word-verification program that allows me to enter my own words. When you see things like “bikini” or “WendyB” — yes, I picked them. (The program came with “Ikea” for unknown reasons.) I’m not sure if I’m going to keep this particular word-verification style. I prefer [...]

When I first told my dogs, Henry and Gigi, that I would be doing this blog, they said, “Oh noes! We has enuf werk!” (They sometimes speak in loldog.) On my original blog, the dogs are frequently called upon to pose with purses and other objects, so the idea of more camera time overwhelmed them. [...]
