My designing friend Zang Toi showed his Spring 2013 line on September 9 during New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. I wore the floor-length, cowboy-print dress I got from Zang’s Spring 2011 collection. I kept the accessories casual with a fringed purse and boots; I’m not sure that the lady in the blue shirt…

What Wendy Wore: Revolving Door of Clothes
I’m happy to wear the same pair of jeans for weeks on end, but today I changed outfits like a D-list celebrity attending New York Fashion Week for the first time. I started out in the red peplum dress made for me earlier this year by designer/blogger Stacy Lomman. I like to wear that one…
What Wendy Wore: Still Dotty After All These Years
I wore “homegrown” vintage when I went out with gorgeous blogger/designer Stacy Lomman on Monday. I got this polka-dot silk top at the Tahari store in New York’s World Financial Center between 1992 and 1995. There was an Ann Taylor store near the Tahari store. I used to go into those two stores every couple…
The Bride Wore a Mullet Dress
I posted a pair of wedding bands last month. They got put to good use this Saturday when my friends Shawn and Laurrell got married! The ceremony was held in a beautiful spot in Central Park. Shawn adores hot pink and butterflies, as you can see from this photo of the fans that were given…
In the News: Winners at the Olympics, Non-Winners in Fashion
Swimmer Michael Phelps won his 20th medal at the London Olympics yesterday, but one could argue that his 19th, earned on Tuesday, was a bigger moment. That’s when he became the most decorated Olympian of all time, passing the previous record-holder, Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina, who won 18 medals between 1956 and 1964. If you…
What Wendy Wore: Red Lips for Our Anniversary
MrB and I went to dinner for our 11th wedding anniversary on Sunday. I like theme dressing, so I considered wearing my Gemma Kahng leather vest with the big heart on the back. I’ve worn that for anniversary and Valentine’s Day dinners before. But I opted for a dress with a red-lip print instead. What…
Rising Star Award Speech, Better Late Than Never
Gorgeous blogger/designer/Fashion Group International Rising Star Award finalist Stacy Lomman just stumbled across this video of me accepting my Rising Star Award for jewelry in January. It was strange for me to watch it because I’ve had a lifelong fear of any type of public speaking that I’ve only begun to get over in the…
What We Wore: On the Town With Gangsta Boo
My gorgeous Atlanta-based rapper friend Lola Mitchell, aka Gangsta Boo, came to New York City this weekend to perform with Mach Five on their Ratchet Shit tour. (Best name evah for a tour because you can do any gross thing and blame it on the theme.) The show wasn’t until Sunday, so MrB took me,…
Casting Call for Bloggers Wearing Wedge Sneakers
I’ve been looking for a pair of high-wedge sneakers for years. I tried on these sunny See by Chloe sneakers in 2009, but they didn’t fit. In 2010, I pondered this pair by Ash Shoes, but I wasn’t sure I loved them as much as the Chloes. I wound up with a pair of silver-sequin,…
OMG! Tennille Is So Kinky!
I love this photo of my gorgeous body-painted friend, makeup artist/model Tennille Nielsen, rocking my OMG rings at crotch level. In case you don’t remember the rings from my recent Topshop post, here’s a closeup of them. I’ll share more pictures from Tennille’s shoot later. By the way, Tennille is my go-to girl for makeup…
