Last night, MrB and I went to the annual International Press Freedom Awards dinner held by the Committee to Protect Journalists. CPJ is a cause near and dear to our hearts — so dear, in fact, that MrB served as chairman for six years. The organization is an independent nonprofit that promotes press freedom worldwide…

What We Wore: Halloween 2017
I celebrated Halloween on Saturday by going to Videology Bar & Cinema in Brooklyn for a screening of the 1980 movie The Shining. MrB had never seen it before! Now I’m wondering what the hell he was thinking all these years whenever he came across pop culture references to “Redrum.” I dressed as one of…
Throwback Thursday: Gigi the Dog Is Sweet 16
Gigi the dog turned sweet 16 this month! We’re not sure exactly what day her birthday is — we got her in February 2003 as a rescue when she was 18 months old — but October 18 keeps popping up in my mind, so let’s pretend she turned 16 yesterday. Naturally, we celebrated with a…
Throwback Thursday: My Anthony Kiedis Hair
A couple of weeks ago, I went to the last day of the Meadows Music and Arts Festival at Citi Field. (Shout out to my girl Gangsta Boo, who was like, “You know you want to go” even though I missed her performance on another day with Run the Jewels.) I saw Nas, who got…
Greetings From the Portland Jewelry Symposium
Thanks to jewelry-industry guru Peggy Jo Donahue, I’m out in Portland, Ore., to participate in a panel at the Portland Jewelry Symposium. This is my second Peggy Jo panel in a week. Last Tuesday, I was in New York talking about using social media as part of a design business at a 7:30 a.m. breakfast….
What Wendy Wore: Vienna, Dressy and Casual
I’ve done Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday posts this week. I’m not sure how today’s post should be categorized. Seen-Before Saturday? Near the end of MrB’s working vacation in Europe, we attended the Global Editors Network Summit’s Data Journalism Awards dinner in Vienna. MrB is president of the awards, so he did some speaking and…
Flashback Friday: Bonn, Vienna, Empress Sisi
After a few days in Paris in June, MrB and I went to Bonn, Germany, where MrB was taking part in the Global Media Forum. I attended a panel he did about Trump and the media, and live-tweeted it; check out his description of the way in which Trump differs from Nixon. Then we went to…
Throwback Thursday: Paris in June
In June, MrB and I visited three cities in Europe. MrB was giving speeches and/or participating in panels everywhere, and I went along for the ride! Paris was first. When MrB wasn’t busy, we walked around by the Eiffel Tower, because I can never take too many pictures of that. On our way there, we…
What Wendy Wore: Musical Patrick Kelly
Remember how Eryn and I went to a jewelry-industry breakfast in July and got caught giving the stink-eye to a totally innocent designer? We took an outfit photo on our way out. What Wendy Wore Jacket: Vintage Patrick Kelly (purchased on eBay in 2010) T-shirt: MaxMara (pre-2005) Jeans: Madewell (2016) Shoes: Onex (2015) Purse: Louis…
Throwback Thursday: Stephen Sprouse Skirt
I can’t remember exactly where or when I got my pink Stephen Sprouse skirt, which is from his Hardcore 1988 collection. I think it was in 2006. The first photo I can find of it is from 2007. This is how I wore it in 2011, while out on the town with my friend Julie….
