I finally got an action shot of the giant leopard-print bag that MrB gave me for my birthday. It’s a good thing I work out a lot or I wouldn’t have the strength to carry it! What Wendy Wore Top: Anthropologie (2010) Jacket: Boudicca (not sure when I got it; last posted here) Jeans: Acne…

What Wendy Wore: Posing in Posen as It Pours
MrB and I went out for dinner on Saturday despite the pouring rain. I even forced myself to wear something besides jeans and a black t-shirt. Check out how wet the toes of my shoes are! I think everything I’m wearing in this photo is from 2003 or 2004. What Wendy Wore Sweater: Alberta Ferretti…
Two Pulitzers in Two Years
Congrats to Jesse Eisinger and Jake Bernstein — part of MrB’s team at ProPublica — for winning the Pulitzer for National Reporting!

Stacy Lomman for Fall 2011: Vive Le Résistance!
Gorgeous blogger and clothing designer Stacy Lomman presented her Fall/Winter 2011 collection yesterday and it was spectacular! Her Spring 2011 collection of glamorous cocktail dresses was fabulous, but this sportswear-oriented season was even more impressive. Here’s Stacy’s description of her collection: “Fall 2011 glamorizes and romanticizes the bold and fearless women of the French Resistance…
What Wendy Wore: Doing the Taliban Shuffle, Pantless
On Friday, MrB and I went to our gorgeous friend Kim Barker’s book party. The New York Times raved about Kim’s book, The Taliban Shuffle, calling it “…hilarious and harrowing, witty and illuminating, all at the same time.” So buy it now! I wasn’t sure what to wear that night. I considered a plain black…
Wendy Brandes in Crain’s New York Business
Eilene Zimmerman interviewed me about the jewelry biz for the latest issue of Crain’s New York Business. You can read the story here and leave Eilene a nice comment. The delightful Buck Ennis took my picture for the article. I’m not very comfortable in front of the camera unless I’m doing the WendyB pose, so…
What Wendy Wore: A Week in South Beach
Last week, MrB and I both had business in Miami, so we decided to spend a few extra days in South Beach for relaxation. I hadn’t been there since 2008, and either my memory is failing or the place has totally changed. To the best of my recollection the dress code during my last visit…
Fashion Bloggers Caught Red-Legged, Vintage Edition
I found my own red-pants photo too late for yesterday’s post on red-legged bloggers, so it gets a special post. This was taken in Prague in 1999 or so. I’m a little demoralized to see how long I’ve been dependent on black t-shirts. I had those pants in black too. I gave away the red…
What Wendy Wore: Ossie Clark During a Deluge
Last week, we met friends for dinner at the excellent Lincoln in Lincoln Center. I originally planned to wear jeans due to general lack of energy and the ark-worthy downpour we were having. Then I decided the evening deserved a little more sartorial effort, so I put on an Ossie Clark dress that I haven’t…

Sheila did a round-up of the participants here, but I wanted to give them some extra recognition. Here they are! Click the photos for the original posts. The leopard-wearing…
