A huge thank you goes out to Danielle Prescod of Elle.com for including my emoji single stud earrings in her “Style Splurge, Style Steal” feature today! The $35 earrings are the steal; a gorgeous Sergio Rossi sandal selling for $1,150 is the splurge. I’m glad that Danielle singled out my middle finger emoji earring in…

Customer of the Day: Terri Berry and Her Fruit Necklace
The customer of the day is my own gorgeous sister, Terri Berry. (No, Berry is not her real last name. I wish!) She surprised me with this photo of her 18K yellow gold and garnet pomegranate/peace sign necklace. This design dates back to 2008, if not earlier. I love to see people enjoying their jewelry…
“It’s a Bit Nipply Out”
New York isn’t quite as cold today as it was yesterday, but it’s still “a bit nipply out,” as the dad played by Chevy Chase said to Nicolette Scorsese’s sex-ay saleswoman in the 1989 movie National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. A Bit Nipply Out What better day to buy one of my Mud Flap Jill necklaces…
Customer of the Day: Erica and the Loveliest Bones
During my holiday sale, gorgeous customer Erica purchased my 18K gold-and-diamond Juana crossbones necklace. She sent me two photos in an email with “The Loveliest Bones” in the subject line. It said: “Wanted to let you know that the crossbones necklace is perfection! I have been wearing it nonstop since I got it. The piece…
Customer of the Day: Melissa and Her Squirrel Necklace
Now that the holidays are over and all the gifts have been given, I’m getting great photos of gorgeous clients wearing their new pieces.

Gift-Giving for Teens Made Easy! $200 and Under.
A lot of people have been asking me what to get their teenage daughters/nieces/granddaughters for the holidays. Obviously, your daughters/nieces/granddaughters want my STFU necklace or middle finger emoji earring, but you’re just as obviously not going to get them those. Not to worry! I have alternatives. You can’t go wrong with sterling silver “hugs and…
What Wendy Will Wear: Zang Toi’s Fall 2014 Show
Whenever my designing friend Zang Toi and I do a sale together, we end up buying each others’ wares. Yesterday, Zang bought my heart and bunny stud earrings for the ladies in his office. I tried on a jacket that I’d admired during the runway show for Zang’s Spring 2013 Bouquet D’Amour collection. It’s pinstriped…
What Wendy Wore: Warm-Weather Thanksgiving
I went to Florida to visit family over Thanksgiving. I feel like I could get used to that. It’s definitely harder to get the holiday blahs when you can wear shorts next to a Christmas tree. What Wendy Wore Top: Pucci (2005, previously seen here) Shorts: Castelbajac (2013, previously seen here) Shoes: Prada (2011) Jacket:…
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: New Gun Emoji Stud Earring
I came through on last month’s promise/threat — my newest emoji earring is the little gun. I don’t love real-life guns (except for sport), but I do love the emoji gun and how people use it on Twitter and in text. When I told my friend Jay that I couldn’t decide if I should do…
What We Wore: CPJ International Press Freedom Awards
Every year, the Committee to Protect Journalists presents its International Press Freedom Awards on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The timing is apt, because the event always reminds me how much freedom of expression we do have in the United States — despite efforts to chip away at it — and how thankful we should be…
