Every so often, I browse the beautiful vintage clothes on 1st Dibs. I’m a little relieved that these two pieces are sold, because if they weren’t, I’d HAVE to have them. I guess I’ll settle for these for now.

Last night, MrB and I attended an event that’s very important to us: the annual International Press Freedom Awards Dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists. The dinner honors journalists from around the world who risk their lives to report from war zones and in defiance of brutal regimes. On its website, CPJ explains what [...]

I’m not a huge hat person, but I do like berets (and hats with Elizabeth Taylor on them). I’ve worn a fuzzy white beret for at least four years. I’m very tempted to upgrade to one of the leopard-spotted Eugenia Kim berets that I saw on Red Carpet Fashion Awards. If I decide to go [...]

Check out this cheerful vintage Charles Jourdan bag, made with leather, suede and silk. It’s $265 at Frock. This would definitely liven up an all-black outfit. New Yorkers, take note!

This vintage Ceil Chapman dress is very delicate, so I rarely wear it. I think yesterday’s brunch was the dress’s first outing since 2008. I was relieved that none of the seams opened this time. (In case they did, I had a tiny sewing kit in my purse.) What Wendy Wore Dress: Silk Ceil Chapman [...]

A gorgeous blogger sent me a link to this vintage suit by Jean-Louis Scherrer ages ago, and suddenly the page is popping up in my browser all the time. I take that as a sign that the suit desperately wants to appear on my blog. The ruffle at the bottom kills me! I remember Scherrer [...]
