New York isn’t quite as cold today as it was yesterday, but it’s still “a bit nipply out,” as the dad played by Chevy Chase said to Nicolette Scorsese’s sex-ay saleswoman in the 1989 movie National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. A Bit Nipply Out What better day to buy one of my Mud Flap Jill necklaces…

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: New Gun Emoji Stud Earring
I came through on last month’s promise/threat — my newest emoji earring is the little gun. I don’t love real-life guns (except for sport), but I do love the emoji gun and how people use it on Twitter and in text. When I told my friend Jay that I couldn’t decide if I should do…
Shot Through the Heart: Earrings for “Pulp Fiction” Fans
I sell my stud earrings as singles so customers can mix and match and make their own pairs. For instance, the combination of my silver syringe and anatomical heart studs is perfect for fans of the 1994 classic movie Pulp Fiction. Here’s the clip of the notorious scene where hitman Vincent Vega (John Travolta) plunges…
What Wendy Wore: Castelbajac Lego Dress to a Movie
Tonight, I went to a screening of Inequality for All, a documentary in which former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich explains the causes and effects of the widening income gap in the U.S. Reich is an excellent speaker, so the movie is entertaining as well as educational. I like that vibe. In fact, I strive…
Customer of the Day: Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams
Gorgeous jewelry blogger Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams has been one of my clients since 2008. My silver Diana heart ring is among her past purchases. More recently, she acquired my bunny stud earrings in sterling silver. You can buy those (or their 18K-gold siblings) singly … … or in pairs. As I mentioned in…
Great Gatsby-Inspired Jewelry
Have any of you seen Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby movie? What did you think? The reviews make me disinclined to see it. I hate the grungy, crowded movie theaters in New York City, so I don’t like to venture into them unless I know the movie is worthwhile. If I were out in Los Angeles, however,…
I’m Not Worthy!
There was a 21st-anniversary reunion of the Wayne’s World cast last week. Reading about it, I realized that not only did the people involved in that movie have great taste in music — they had great taste in jewelry too. Check out this picture of Lara Flynn Boyle wearing a “WAYNE” necklace that’s exactly the…
If There’s a Blackout, Blame FitzRoy for Pulling the Plug
I’ve already posted these pictures on a couple of my social-media outlets, but they’re so good I have to share them again here. Gorgeous blogger/designer/stylist Stacy Lomman took this picture of FitzRoy the cat. I immediately saw a similarity to one of the best characters in one of the best movies of all time ……
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…
