Yesterday’s post on knee-high gladiator sandals reminded me of my previously expressed love for knee-high Minnetonka moccasins. That inspired me to check Minnetonka’s site for gladiator sandals. They do have a couple of styles. Not knee-high ones, but you can get the ankle-high look at a reasonable price. There are also summertime variations on the…
About Wendy
Mad Men and Gladiators
The title of this post refers to Mad Men and sandals, not Mad Men and the “gladiators in suits” populating Scandal. I admit that I have only seen one episode of Scandal, but I’ll have time to catch up now that MrB and I have gotten 72 episodes of Mad Men out of the way….
What Wendy Wore: The Last Winter Look?
We had two warm(ish) days in New York City this week, meaning our dreary winter might finally be ending! Hopefully, this is my last cold-weather “What Wendy Wore” post for a while. This outfit is actually from two weeks ago, when MrB and I had dinner with friends on a 29°F night. I didn’t feel…
Throwback Thursday: KC & the Sunshine Band
Here’s some disco for Throwback Thursday: KC & the Sunshine Band’s 1975 performance of “That’s the Way I Like It.” I watched this video recently and became obsessed with the dancing horn players. More bands need dancing horn players! However, in 1984, I was much more interested in Dead or Alive’s cover of the song….
Throwback Thursday: Emoji Face
Here’s a Throwback Thursday photos from my younger days. My MUCH younger days. Do you think the tongue-out emoji face was based on me? I demand royalties!
Throwback Thursday: Argyle Twinset
It’s still sweater weather here in New York City, so here’s an amusing throwback sweater photo from Thanksgiving. MrB and I were visiting my sister in Chicago. I can’t remember if I instructed MrB to wear his matching sweater that day or if it was coincidence. I probably told him to do it, because…
What Wendy Wore: Striped Wedges by — Uh-Oh!
While visiting my parents in Florida last week, my gorgeous mother and I scoped out ultra-chic store Marissa Collections. I wanted to see if my jewelry designs would be a good fit for Marissa’s luxury jewelry department (yes!) but, of course, we couldn’t resist browsing the shoe department. I’d been keeping an eye out for…
Throwback Thursday: Belated Oscar Commentary
I didn’t get around to finishing my Oscar posts in a timely way, but it’s never too late to talk about jewelry and men’s fashion, right? Anyway, it’s Throwback Thursday so I’m going to go there. My favorite piece of jewelry at the 2015 Oscars was the Piaget ear cuff and matching stud worn by…
What Wendy Wore: New York vs. Florida
At the end of last month — in between New York’s numerous snowstorms — I wore this 2004 sweater-and-skirt set out to dinner with friends. What Wendy Wore in the Cold Sweater: Alexander McQueen (2004, purchased at Bergdorf Goodman) Skirt: McQueen (2004, purchased with sweater) Boots: Prada (2008 or 2009, recently seen here) Purse: Louis…
I Need a Vintage Ozbek Dress … and a Time Machine
You never get over your first love. I don’t mean your middle-school crush or high-school boyfriend/girlfriend. Who cares about those people?! Damn, I can’t even remember any names. The romantic feelings that last are your first music and fashion loves. Even if you don’t listen to those bands or wear those styles any more, I…
