I like to help people out, so last weekend I threw on my Francis by Christian Francis Roth subway map dress and went to the subway station in order to help lost travelers. Eventually, a nice lady with a yen for peach sangria came by. She needed to go downtown. Luckily, I was there to…

The Post Without Any Fireman Photos
It’s my gorgeous sister Terri Berry’s birthday today! I was recently going through some photos from my wedding in July 2001 and would like to share this one of the Berry clowning around in front of me, our parents and the about-to-be-MrB. She had that navy gown already and had only worn it once before,…
Ashish at Browns and Other Sequined Stuff
I can’t believe I was just in London and didn’t go to Browns! WTF! Well, I had more important things to do most days. But I love looking at the Browns website and I definitely regret not squeezing in a visit in person. Right now I’m going crazy over a couple of pieces by Ashish,…
Paris, Day 2: A Partial Reveal
I was on a secret mission outside Paris yesterday. I’m not ready to tell you the whole story, but here are some bits and pieces. We stayed at the most amazing inn in Corbie. It’s called Le Macassar and we recommend it highly for the wonderfully hospitable proprietors, Miguel and Ian, and their stunning Art…
London, Day 4: Henry VIII and Hamlet
Today I had a make-up date with the guy I stood up yesterday, Henry teh 8. In a moment of fashion insanity, I did NOT wear my Boleyn necklace to the Henry VIII exhibit at the British Library. What was I thinking? To make matters worse, I was wearing my Cleves ring. Sure, Henry had…
London, Day 2: More Naughty Art
I first went to London when I was 15. During that trip, I bleached my bangs blonde and got my left ear pierced for a second time. When I arrived home, my mother was very upset about these things. Good thing I didn’t tell her that I smooched a 20-something guy during the whole flight…
Fresh Air Fund Flashback
Good grief! June flew by — or floated by, given the amount of rain we’ve had in New York — and I never got around to posting the photos from the Fresh Air Fund party that MrB and I went to on June 4 with eight gorgeous friends: Scott, Isabelle, Zang, Melissa, Alix, Jen, Cheryl…
East Coast Ass Flowers
The Metropolitan Museum of Art held its 2009 Corporate Benefit on Wednesday night. The honorees were Michael J. Kowalksi, chairman and chief executive of some non-WendyB jewelry place, and my dear friend, Ambassador Carl Spielvogel. (Carl is married to the gorgeous Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel, previously mentioned here.) I wore the beautiful Zang Toi gown that I…
Keeping It Perv in the Family
For Mother’s Day, my family went to La Baraka, a French restaurant. I dressed in a Catholic schoolgirl skirt so my gorgeous mother, BarbaraB, and I could feel 25 years younger. I gave us the gift of youth! On me: Kilt with trompe l’oeil pins by Francis by Christian Francis Roth Prada Gaufre bag Mid-’90s…
The Matrix Is Everywhere
I went to the New York Women In Communications Matrix Awards on Monday to see MrB present an award to the lovely and talented Monica Langley of the Wall Street Journal. The awards honor “extraordinary achievements of outstanding women in the communications industry,” and they’re quite a big deal. Another one of the honorees was…
