I’m starting to think I might be some kind of rap goddess … or maybe just a prophet, leading nonbelievers to the promised land of hip-hop. Last year, I got my non-rap-fan sister to stand 9 1/2 hours with me to see Eminem at Lollapalooza. This summer, I took MrB to his first rap concert…

Stacy Lomman Wardrobe Therapy: Election Night Outfit
Early yesterday morning, I went to vote at my local Mormon church. It was mayhem. The lines weaved in and out of the pews so that confused people were constantly getting on the wrong queue; instead of the voting machines we had in the past, we got SAT-like forms with bubbles to color in with…
Stacy Lomman Wardrobe Therapy: Outfits #1 and #2
When I first graduated from college, I was very practical. My wardrobe was all about the basics: black, black and more black. Then, about 10 years ago, I decided I had enough basics and I started to collect “statement” items. Especially funny ones. I do like to laugh. Crazy dresses, like the vintage Moschino seen…
Non-Buyer’s Remorse: Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Sneakers
I very rarely suffer from buyer’s remorse, but every once in a while I come down with a case of non-buyer’s remorse. Right now I have it bad for the silver Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sneakers that Sporty Spice wore at the Olympic closing ceremonies. I loved those sneakers when I saw them, but I sternly…

What Wendy Wore: Festive Dress for a Knight Out
MrB and I were invited to a dinner last night that called for “festive dress.” I tried on one dress and decided it was more “book party” than “festive,” so I switched to this Stacy Lomman dress from her Spring 2011 collection. What Wendy Wore Dress: Stacy Lomman (previously seen here) Shoes: Prada (2011) Ring:…
A High Heel That’s as Comfortable as a Sneaker, Guaranteed
The “Big City Pump Silhouette Sneaker” by Be&D is highlarious. You’d definitely get the best of both worlds with that one. I’m normally a big fan of trompe l’oeil fashion, but I prefer real heel height, so I’ve been wearing the hell out of my Thelma wedge sneakers by Ash Shoes. I wore them to,…
What Wendy Wore (and Lost): At Zang Toi’s Spring 2013 Show
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…
