I’ve been panting to see Tim Burton’s new movie Frankenweenie because I love short, chunky dogs … … and big-eyed cats with tiny mouths. MrB and I went to see the movie at a theater a block away from our apartment last night — within the magic zone of invisibility — so I just threw…

A Devilish New Design: The 666 Number Necklace
Forget about those kitsch-y, plastic black-cat earrings and pumpkin pins for Halloween. Get my devilish sterling-silver 666 necklace and you’ll have something you’ll be able to wear after October 31. It’s Satan-chic, baby! This necklace is the same size as the small letter necklaces in my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes diffusion line, such as the…
SRSLY? How Can You Not Love This Necklace?
Here’s the latest addition to my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes diffusion line … the SRSLY? necklace. This necklace looks big in the photo but it’s actually petite. The letters are the same size — 5 millimeters — as those on my other small letter necklaces, such as my IDGAF necklace. I can’t quit turning Internet…
Holy Halloween Sale, Batman!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. To make yours even more fun this year, I’ve put my three bat necklaces on sale for the month of October. You don’t have to be a Halloween enthusiast to wear one of these. They’re also good for Batman fans (note the face on the pendant!) … or…
Rihanna Likes Nipples
I’m happy to see Rihanna is still enjoying her boobacious Mud Flap Jill necklace from my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes collection. She was wearing it again in London on Wednesday, after being seen with it on in Las Vegas the previous week. Rihanna’s shapely-lady necklace is 18K yellow gold with ruby nipples. A silver version…
My Best Dressed at the Emmys: Emilia Clarke
Unlike this year’s Golden Globes and SAG Awards, the Emmy Awards didn’t inspire me to bestow my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo award upon anyone. Too much cement, too many safe looks. But there was one dress that made me think, “I would wear that”: Emilia Clarke’s (Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones)…
Yes, That’s My Mud Flap Jill Necklace on Rihanna!
I’m blowing kisses at Adeline of ShontelleDaily.com, who, after my post yesterday, found photos on Rihanna-Diva.com that prove Rihanna was wearing my Mud Flap Jill necklace at the iHeartMusic festival in Las Vegas. The necklace can be seen clearly in this photo when you enlarge it … … and there’s another photo here. But the…
Who Said “If You Have to Ask the Price, You Can’t Afford It”?
Earlier this week, in my post Get Smart (About $4,000 Suits and $10,000 Rings), I wrote, “Ultra-high-end is a stronger industry sector, so I’ve embarked on a deliberate effort to offer more ‘if you have to ask, you can’t afford it’ 18K-gold signature pieces.” Variations of the line “If you have to ask the price,…
Wendy Brandes Heart Jewelry in Aventura Magazine
Big thanks to South Florida’s Aventura Magazine for including my 18K-gold Diana heart necklace in the September/October issue. The necklace is on the upper right side of the “Jewelry Box” page. If you see the issue with basketball star Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat on the cover, check it out! The necklace, which can…
Get Smart (About $4,000 Suits and $10,000 Rings)
I’ve written plenty about the classic small-business issue of economy of scale: the high cost of producing low quantity (and the even higher cost of producing low quality without a way to distribute the goods). My Huffington Post story, “The Agony and Ecstasy of Small Business,” offers the most concise explanation, but you can get…
