Since last summer, I’ve been very open-minded to the beauty and fashion suggestions from all the experts in my life. I figure I trust their taste and I work in a creative industry, so why not go a little wild? Shave a lock of hair off? Count me in. Frizzy ’70s curls and pink eyeshadow?…

Kanye West Does Lady Gaga (No, Not in THAT Way, You Pervs)
Kanye West has irritated me many times with his asshattery, but every so often, his fashion experimentation places him firmly on my good side. Back in November 2011, I approved wholeheartedly when I saw Kanye wearing a Givenchy leather skirt kilt over pants during his and Jay-Z’s “Watch the Throne” concert at Madison Square Garden….
Adam Ant: From Halloween Costume to Concert Attire
Between Hurricane Sandy and work, I didn’t get around to making Halloween plans. I had a great costume in mind too. My favorite part about dressing up is the hair and makeup, so I’m definitely not going to stick a pair of cat ears on my head, draw on some eyeliner whiskers and call it…
Making a Long Story Longer: Update on Topshop, Swear Rings
In the past week, I received a number of emails and tweets from gorgeous readers who are concerned about my situation with Topshop, so I realized I should give you an update. But first I’m going to go way back to the beginning for the sake of those of you who don’t know the story,…
Spartacus, Madonna, Aging Disgracefully and YOLO Rings
I hardly knew what to do with myself last night now that the Starz television show Spartacus is over for the season. Gorgeous blogger/designer/neighbor Stacy Lomman came over every Friday so we could drink pink Champagne while watching Romans and their slaves being killed in ingenious ways. (That guy who got his face cut off?…
Musings on Music, Reality TV and Thierry Mugler
I like to watch music videos while I’m at the gym. Isn’t that quaint? MTV doesn’t play many music videos these days. I remember when it did. The first video the network aired when it debuted right after midnight on August 1, 1981, was “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles. The Buggles need…
What Wendy Wore: Kid Rock at the Beacon Theatre
Ever since I dressed to the teeth for two Lady Gaga concerts last year, I feel kind of naked going to musical events in my everyday jeans and black t-shirt. At a recent Kanye West/Jay-Z concert, Kanye totally outdressed me by wearing a leather skirt over pants, so I was happy to see that Kid…
Flashback to My 2003 MTV VMA Fashion
While I’m watching MTV’s VMA pre-show, I’m reminiscing about the times MrB and I went to the VMAs back in the late ’90s and early 2000s when the show was in New York. I’m pretty sure I wore my white leather wedding outfit to the 2001 show, but that was before I had a digital…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Ferragamo Now and Versace Then
I guess houndstooth checks and glen plaids are never out of fashion, but seeing checks and plaids on practically everything in Ferragamo’s Fifth Avenue store made me think of Versace from a few years back. I think it was about 2004 or 2005 when Versace had a big plaid moment that so entranced me that…
DVF Leopard-Print Dress and Little Monster Paw … in 2002
I’ve been wondering when exactly I got my frequently worn leopard Diane von Furstenberg dress. Last year, when the photo below was taken, I figured that I bought the dress between 2000 and 2003. Good guess! While transferring files off an old computer, I found this photo from 2002. I had worn the dress to…
