I’m watching the Oscars now, hoping that Spotlight will win all six of its categories, including Best Picture. Not only was it an excellent movie about investigative journalism, but one of the real-life people portrayed in the movie is someone I’ve known for a long time! That person is Marty Baron, who was played very…
Best Dressed/Wear What You Want Award
Living the Mullet Life
Sometimes, the popular misuse of the word “literally” is mildly annoying. Other times, it’s super annoying, as in this Grammys tweet from MTV. When I read that, I was like … Yes, the actress/singer did look cute with a mullet hairstyle. Embed from Getty Images But she’s definitely not the only one who can work…
Best Dressed at the Grammys, Plus Other Musical Fashions
The music industry is usually much more interesting than Hollywood in terms of fashion, but as I watched the Grammy Awards red carpet tonight, I started to fear that no one would come through for me. Luckily, Lady Gaga showed up in full “Life on Mars” costume for the David Bowie tribute she performed later…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. I’m doing a big Jewels of the Month series: a 14-day Valentine’s Day/anti-Valentine’s Day countdown. I’ve got something for everyone, alternating between Valentine’s Day gift ideas for the lovebirds and anti-Valentine’s Day designs suitable for self-gifting. Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #1 of…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 SAG Awards Is …
Another Hollywood awards show has come and gone without a good candidate for my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award. Like the Critics’ Choice Awards earlier in the month, Saturday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards had a lot of attractive red-carpet looks, but none that gave me that special “so wrong it’s right” feeling….
What Wendy Wore: Red Velvet at the GEM Awards
Glamorous show-business events are great for spotting ultra-high-end jewelry, like the 200 carats of Harry Winston diamonds recently worn by Jennifer Lopez at the Golden Globes. But I swear that the place to see the most exciting fine jewelry is at Jewelers of America’s GEM Awards — “the Academy Awards of the fine jewelry industry”…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 Critics’ Choice Awards Is …
There were lots of pretty looks at tonight’s Critics’ Choice Awards in Santa Monica, Calif. I kept thinking, “I’d wear that,” as I looked at the fashions. For instance, the striped Tracy Reese dress worn by Constance Zimmer of UnREAL is definitely one I’d gravitate to in a store. Embed from Getty Images But nothing…
My Best Dressed at the 2016 Golden Globes Is …
I was browsing 1980s vintage while watching the Golden Globes red carpet, and I had to point out this ruffled Pierre Cardin design to my designing friend Stacy Lomman. Stacy is the one who looked through my closet once and said, “Wow! Even your ruffles have ruffles!” I said, “Do you think this has enough…
Guess Who’s Back? Back Again?
If you tried to visit the blog or website in the past few days, you probably saw a very scary warning about malware. But I’m back, and the malware has been banished. I used Sucuri Security to dig all the bad stuff out. I’m happy with the results, though the process wasn’t that great. The…
My Best Dressed/Wear What You Want Award for 2015
Sasha Charnin Morrison — formerly the fashion director for Us Weekly — called it. My Best Dressed/Wear What You Want award for 2015 has to go to 18-year-old Kyemah McEntyre for her self-designed prom dress. Still my favorite dress of the year. 18 year old designer #kyemahmcentyre 's prom design was the coolest of 2015….
