Gorgeous blogger/jewelry muse Sulky Kitten is modeling my Sulky necklace design on her blog today. As I said last week, the letters on this necklace are 10 millimeters. The letters on the smaller version of my word necklace (seen below in its IDGAF version) are 5 millimeters. I’ll have two new sterling-silver IDGAF necklaces available…

Jewels of the Month: Sulky and IDGAF Necklaces
I’m constantly working on new jewelry. I have three 18K gold pieces in the works, as well as one silver ring. I also have wax models made for two other 18K gold pieces and I’ve got ideas for dozens of other designs that I’ll do when I can afford them. Getting started on a new…
Topshop Drama Drags On; Letter Rings for Sale
Topshop has announced a new designer collaboration. Not with me, sillies! Instead, the U.K.-based fast-fashion chain struck a deal with 27-year-old British designer J.W. Anderson. Apparently, he’s an up-and-comer, but he’s certainly not a Margiela, Lagerfeld or Versace as far as name recognition goes. The latter three designers/design houses have all worked with H&M, a…
Today’s Must-Have Accessory: 3D Glasses
Gorgeous rapper Gangsta Boo told me I was going to like “Rollin,” the new video by Drumma Boy, featuring B-Hav and Boo herself. When I saw the video was in 3D, I thought, “Boo was right. This is cool. I need to get some 3D glasses so I can appreciate it.” Then, at about 4:24…
Love Letters: On My Nails and in the Sand
My latest Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips design — applied by celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival — is called “Love Letter.” In this photo, I’m wearing it with my Hathor swivel-ring design, turquoise side up. The turquoise center of the ring flips over to reveal carnelian on the other side. Two rings in one!…
Beauty Shoot With Wendy Brandes Rings
Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival did a beauty shoot with fabulous photographer Anthony Friend, and a couple of my rings participated.

The Clemence ring is available exclusively at Max & Chloe….

Snakes on My Fingers, Snakes on My Lobes
April’s gold manicure — my third with Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips — didn’t last as long as my previous Sally Hansen manicures, so celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival gave me a new look sooner than expected. The “” strips are holding up nicely. Three out of four ain’t bad! I’m enjoying this look….

Beyonce Wins the 2012 Met Gala
My invitation to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art must have gotten lost in the mail — AGAIN! — and, as a result, I’m sitting at home tonight in the XXL “I Heart New York” t-shirt that I bought at JFK one fiendishly hot July day when my plane was delayed…
