What Wendy Wore: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction
Thanks to a friend’s last-minute invitation, I wound up at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame‘s 2016 induction ceremony at Barclays Center last Friday. It was an incredibly entertaining night in a batshit-crazy kind of way. First of all, an awards show where presenters and honorees can swear as much as they like and…
What Wendy Wore: Ossie Clark to See Shakespeare
This spring is the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. (How did I forget Shakespeare’s wife was named Anne Hathaway? LOL.) To mark the event, the Royal Shakespeare Company has brought the playwright’s Great Cycle of Kings to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Richard II, Henry IV Parts I & II, and Henry V are…
I’m a Jewelers’ Choice Award Finalist!
I’m thrilled to say that I’m a finalist in the 2016 JCK’s Jewelers’ Choice Awards! The engagement/anniversary ring design that I created for my own mother won second place in the Personalized Jewelry $1,000 & Over Category.

Musical Interlude: Andra Day and Rihanna
I’d heard of singer Andra Day before, but I didn’t truly HEAR her until she performed with Ellie Goulding at the Grammy Awards last month. While she was still on the Grammy stage, I was checking for tour dates and I had my tickets for her March 25 show at Webster Hall by the time…

The Wearing of the Green (Gems) for St. Patrick’s Day
I hated the color green for a long time. I wouldn’t consider wearing green clothes. Then, suddenly, something changed and I loved green. That might be due to Zang Toi, who got me into this gown for the 2006 Oscars. I suspect I couldn’t resist the matching peacock-feather fan. Once I committed to green, I…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi and a Big Day for Ears
My designing friend Zang Toi showed his fall 2016 collection on February 13 and I’m just now getting around to writing about it! It was bitterly cold that night and I was thinking, “What could I possibly wear that will keep me warm?” Luckily I was able to squeeze myself into a sweater/dress combination from…
