I think I should be invited to all major red-carpet events just to prove that I can shop my closet for every occasion! Like on Sunday, when I was watching the Golden Globes, I thought of two outfits immediately. The dress code called for black, and I’ve been in a pantsuit kind of mood, so…
Best Dressed/Wear What You Want Award
My Best Dressed at the 2018 Golden Globes Is …
There was a blackout at the Golden Globes tonight: The majority of the attendees wore black to promote the newly established Time’s Up campaign against sexual harassment in all industries. Embed from Getty Images The Time’s Up initiative was announced Monday with an open letter signed by 300 prominent women in the entertainment industry. It…
My Best Dressed at the 2017 Emmys Is …
I’m disgusted that the 2017 Emmy Awards gave Sean Spicer the opportunity to play all cutesy and “in on the joke” during the broadcast last night. For a time, Spicer was the No. 1 liar for the white-supremacist president who is trying to tear apart our democracy. This freaky eater of gum doesn’t deserve a…
Blonde Machination: Taylor, Miley, Game of Thrones
I’m glad I managed to publish Thursday’s blog post a couple of hours before Taylor Swift’s new single was released. I stand by my praise of Swift’s matter-of-fact testimony against a sexual harasser who had the nerve to sue her for complaining about his bad behavior. It’s too bad that she didn’t set those statements…
Wednesday’s Videos: I’m a WJA Winner!
A huge, huge thank you to the Women’s Jewelry Association for honoring me with an Award for Excellence for design Monday night! I was nominated for this award last year but didn’t win, and I sincerely expected the same result this year. The award recognizes a body of work, rather than a single design, and…
Hathor Swivel Earrings on a Designing Woman
One of my earlier designs has become au courant in 2017! My Hathor swivel earrings — named after an Egyptian goddess — were worn by actress Margaret Anne Florence in March. This week, they were the accessory of choice for someone who really appreciates accessories: costume designer Melissa Toth (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday, May 1: What I would have worn to the Met Gala. Tuesday, May 2: Rihanna was the best-dressed guest at the Met Gala but there were a surprising number of runners-up. Wednesday, May 3: The official introduction to my new YouTube…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Trench Gowns
I’m still not over Monday’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute ball! There are so many interesting looks that didn’t make it onto my Best Dressed/Wear What You Want awards list. One of those is Priyanka Chopra’s trenchcoat gown by Ralph Lauren. Embed from Getty Images I kept coming back to this one, thinking, “I…
My Best Dressed at the 2017 Met Gala Is …
There’s no sense in burying the lede this time: The obvious winner of my prestigious Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award for last night’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute ball is Rihanna, who wore a Fall 2016 Comme des Garçons look. It took her an hour to get into those shoes! Embed from Getty…
What Wendy Would Have Worn: Met Gala 2017
I am normally confident that I already own the right ensemble for most occasions — even the occasions to which I’m not invited! While we regular people don’t get to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute benefit like we used to, that’s the outing I fantasize about the most because it’s an…
