It was hard to see this leopard in a tree while on safari at Thornybush Game Lodge in South Africa last week. The wild cat’s excellent camouflage made me wonder if FitzRoy the cat chose his favorite bowl for similar reasons of discretion. If it’s good enough for cats, it’s good enough for me! When…

Thornybush: More Fun Than a Pool Full of Monkeys
Our trip to South Africa comes to an end tomorrow. I’m sad to be going home — there’s still so much to see here. The highlight for me was the safari at Thornybush Game Lodge. MrB and I went on two late-afternoon drives and two early-morning drives. I’ve already posted photos of the two cheetahs…
What Wendy Wore: Leopard-Print Booties in Leopard Country
Guess what? I’m in South Africa. Here’s what I wore to a dinner in Johannesburg on Saturday night. What Wendy Wore Dress: James Perse (late ’90s) Shoes: Prada (2012) Jewelry: All my own designs Animal prints are very hot here. I saw a lot of them after we left Joburg to go on safari. First,…
Throwback Thursday: 1996 Dress, Hair and Photobomb
I’ve always had a passion for cherry prints. I got a Louis Vuitton Cerise cherry-print bag in 2005 in part because it reminded me of a satin-y Cynthia Rowley cherry-print dress that I wore in 1996. I got the dress at a sample sale and I was so happy with it. I wore it with…
What Wendy Wore: Dolce & Gabbana and Rihanna’s Necklace
I sure do love leopard print, and one of my major fashion regrets is that I missed out on a two-toned leopard-print dress by Dolce & Gabbana in 2010. After I saw this bit of perfection on Rihanna I searched for it everywhere but to no avail. It was sold out in my size. I’m…
Another Interesting Sighting in Los Angeles
I almost forgot to report that Sam Waterston wasn’t the only interesting person I spotted in my hotel in Los Angeles last week. The first night we were there, MrB and I went to get a drink at the bar. I was excited to see a large white dog snoozing on the floor by a…
What Wendy Wore: Out and About in Los Angeles
We’re heading back to New York today, though I wish I could stay a few more days in Los Angeles, just to go to the movies if nothing else. I finally saw Django Unchained and Life of Pi while we were out here, because they were playing at the fabulous Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. In…
What Wendy Wore: The Weinstein Company Pre-Oscar Party
I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay. I’ve already lurked seductively behind George Clooney on the Oscar red carpet once in my life — who could ask for anything more? Last night was The Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar part at Soho House. Dorothy Pomerantz, writing…
A High Heel That’s as Comfortable as a Sneaker, Guaranteed
The “Big City Pump Silhouette Sneaker” by Be&D is highlarious. You’d definitely get the best of both worlds with that one. I’m normally a big fan of trompe l’oeil fashion, but I prefer real heel height, so I’ve been wearing the hell out of my Thelma wedge sneakers by Ash Shoes. I wore them to,…
Recent Paris Memories for Bastille Day
I feel like I should be in Paris today because, for the past three years, MrB and I spent Bastille Day (aka quatorze julliet) there. Here’s a little video of last year’s fireworks. The twinkling in the beginning is the Eiffel Tower. This year, our travel plans got pushed up and we went to Paris…
