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)…

Love Letters: On My Nails and in the Sand
My latest Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips design — applied by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival — is called “Love Letter.” In this photo, I’m wearing it with my Hathor swivel-ring design, turquoise side up. The turquoise center of the ring flips over to reveal carnelian on the other side. Two rings in one!…
What Wendy Wore: Watanabe Jacket, Stacy Lomman Vest
Last night, MrB and I went to an event hosted by The Weinstein Company, so I was inspired to wear the same Junya Watanabe jacket I wore to a Weinstein event in February. I am the anti-wardrobe-remixer. I got this jacket at Bergdorf Goodman. I was very excited to see it on Bergdorf’s homepage recently….

Introducing FitzRoy
FitzRoy (or Fitzroy) is an Anglo-Norman name that means “son of the king.” Several English monarchs gave it as a surname to their illegitimate children.

Henry and Gigi Get Baths and Possibly a Cat Friend
The air quality in the apartment has improved now that Henry and Gigi have had much-needed baths. They also got haircuts and ribbons. Henry’s ribbons are a very masculine baby blue. I wonder what the plumber would say? The more exciting pet news is that the dogs might be getting a feline companion. The desire…
When Fashion Goes Right
When fashion works, you feel transformed: The LOLcat image is from I Can Has Cheezburger. Since the Wall Street Journal wrote about the original LOLcat site in 2007, Cheezburger has grown into what the New York Times called a “web empire.” One of my favorite Cheezburger-owned sites is This is Photobomb. Gorgeous blogger Jennine of…
A Sally Hansen Manicure and Cat Scratch Fever
When I made an appointment with celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival this week, I warned her that several of my nails were so badly broken that they weren’t suitable canvases for one of her artistic gel manicures. I thought the stubby nails weren’t going to be worth much more than clear polish, but Tracylee cheered me…
Who Ya Gonna Call?
This video reminds me of the Ghostbusters line: “Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!” Except this time there’s a side of Chicken McNuggets. Thanks for Cute Overload for this one. And thanks to the New York Times for some not-cute-at-all moments. They should have renamed this Sunday’s Styles section the “Boys Who…
Just When You Thought It Was Safe…
…and you weren’t going to read anything else about big pussies…. Oh noes!!!! In reality, that cat is one of the most petite pussies I have ever encountered. It’s just the angle of the camera that is making him look so large.
