My designing friend Zang Toi showed his Spring 2013 line on September 9 during New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. I wore the floor-length, cowboy-print dress I got from Zang’s Spring 2011 collection. I kept the accessories casual with a fringed purse and boots; I’m not sure that the lady in the blue shirt…

Introducing My New Niece: Sabrina Berry
I met my new niece, Sabrina Berry, this weekend. I wore my Damien Hirst diamond-skull t-shirt because I wanted to introduce the baby to all the finer things in life right away: red lipstick, black t-shirts, skulls and diamonds. I should have had a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar in one hand and a glass of…
What Wendy Wore (and Lost): Madonna at Yankee Stadium
I’ve seen Madonna on every tour she’s done since 1985, when I skipped my high-school prom to see her at Radio City. Naturally, I saw her earlier this month when she became the first female performer to headline at Yankee Stadium. A few days later, I put on my new concert t-shirt and went to…
My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Emilia Clarke
Unlike this year’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Emmy Awards didn’t inspire me to bestow my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award upon anyone. Too much cement, too many safe looks. But there was one dress that made me think, “I would wear that”: Emilia Clarke’s (Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones)…
MTV VMA Fashion: Short Hair Don’t Care
I was digging the short hairdos at MTV’s Video Music Awards last night. Of course, Pink has been a devotee of short hair for years. But she had more company than usual at the VMAs. Miley Cyrus went short last month, and her hair looked great glammed up for the event. I’ve adored many of…
What Wendy Wore: Revolving Door of Clothes
I’m happy to wear the same pair of jeans for weeks on end, but today I changed outfits like a D-list celebrity attending New York Fashion Week for the first time. I started out in the red peplum dress made for me earlier this year by designer/blogger Stacy Lomman. I like to wear that one…
Hair Photos Via Instagram
This is how my hair looks naturally … … and this is how I usually wear it. I think straight hair better highlights the interesting details of my haircuts. On the topic of hair, yesterday’s New York Times style section ran an article called “Getting Bolder With Age” about women in their 40s, 50s and…
What Wendy Wore: Still Dotty After All These Years
I wore “homegrown” vintage when I went out with gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman on Monday. I got this polka-dot silk top at the Tahari store in New York’s World Financial Center between 1992 and 1995. There was an Ann Taylor store near the Tahari store. I used to go into those two stores every couple…
What Wendy Wore: Betsey Johnson Punk Label for Dog Walking
I’m glad I’m not a celebrity. I would hate to dress up for the paparazzi every time I take the dogs out or make an emergency Cadbury Dairy Milk run. My standard dog-walking look this summer has been unbrushed hair, an oversize concert t-shirt, bike shorts and flip flops. And that’s chic compared to what…
In Love With Vintage Todd Oldham Beaded Boots
I’ve always been fond of 1990s fashion designer Todd Oldham, and I’ve acquired a number of his pieces, including this tie-dyed velvet skirt. You know what would be a great addition to my Oldham collection? These beaded boots, available from vintage dealer Marilyn Glass via 1stdibs.com. I’m in love. As much as I like Todd,…
