Our gorgeous friend Jolie Hunt invited me and MrB to the launch party for her marketing and communications firm, Hunt & Gather, earlier this week. (Is that a great company name, or what?) The event was on a former Navy ship named the Baylander, which was docked at Pier 5 in Brooklyn for the night….

Nicki Minaj’s Other Inspiration(s)
OG 1990s rapper Lil’ Kim is angry — and not for the first time — because she feels newer girl Nicki Minaj is biting her style. Kim, also known as the “Queen Bee,” has been a busy bee this week, putting out two diss tracks, and the week ain’t over! Today’s track makes the cause…
For Doors Stans: Pamela Courson’s Mother Has Died
I like to look over the obituaries in the print edition of the New York Times — there are a lot of interesting stories there. Today, I couldn’t help noticing this beautiful face in the paid death notices section. Figuring this lady had to have been an actress, I glanced at the information: died aged…
New Emoji Earrings Available at Nylon; Plus, Katy Perry
If you love emojis and gold, I’ve got good news for you. Some of my most popular emoji single stud earrings — including the middle finger — are now being made in gold-plated silver and, for the moment, they’re available exclusively at Nylon Magazine’s online shop. Nylon did this awesome gif with four of the…
Throwback Thursday: Patrick Kelly Dress X 5, Plus Shania & Kylie
I have a new obsession: collages of the same outfit in different years. I’ve always shown the outfit photos on my blog, but last month I decided to make some into collages and now I can’t stop! Here is my beloved Patrick Kelly leopard gown, from the late designer’s Fall/Winter 1989 collection, photographed in 2008,…
What Wendy Wore: Next Season’s Earrings … Big Hoops
I’ve been loving the ear jewelry that’s emerged in the past year. There are so many options! But the trend that’s (thankfully) replaced the statement necklace started, as many trends do, quite slowly. Miley Cyrus flaunted her ear cuffs in 2012, when she cut her hair short. But Miley’s style is risky — her short…
Pharrell Does It Again
Singer/songwriter/producer/everything Pharrell Williams sure knows how to get everyone talking with his fashion choices. In January, his Vivienne Westwood hat stole the show at the Grammys. In March, his tuxedo shorts made a big statement at the Oscars. Tonight, I was watching True Blood instead of the BET Awards, but when I saw “Uggs” trending…
Lana Del Rey and WendyB: Similarities and Differences
My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw a photo of the possibly-death-obsessed singer Lana Del Rey in London. Check it out! Her t-shirt features the 1990 “Women of Twin Peaks” Rolling Stone cover that hung on my wall for many years. I can imagine pouty Lana being an Audrey Horne fan like…
Who Wore It Best: Maleficent or …
Angelina Jolie wears an impressive set of horns in her starring role in Maleficent, Disney’s retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story. The horned headpiece originated in the 1959 animated Sleeping Beauty movie. But I kept thinking that someone else had worn some hot-looking horns relatively recently. And I was right! Here is a still of…
My Music Peeps Wearing WendyB Jewelry
I love seeing my musician clients wearing the custom jewelry designs I made for them. I already previewed the issue of Inked Magazine with gorgeous singer/songwriter Skylar Grey on the cover. Now the magazine is out and I’ve gotten to see more fabulous photos featuring the double-ax necklace I made for Skylar. How hot is…
