Gorgeous Barbados-born singer/songwriter Shontelle — Rihanna’s childhood friend — has been out and about during New York Fashion Week, and she’s been wearing my jewelry! You know Shontelle: Her song “Impossible” was a big hit in 2010. Shontelle has been spending quality time with one of my favorite rings: the onyx skull with tsavorite (green…

MTV VMA Fashion: Short Hair Don’t Care
I was digging the short hairdos at MTV’s Video Music Awards last night. Of course, Pink has been a devotee of short hair for years. But she had more company than usual at the VMAs. Miley Cyrus went short last month, and her hair looked great glammed up for the event. I’ve adored many of…
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…
OMG! I’m Such a Trendsetter!
Because I’m a gracious bitch, I want to congratulate my friends at Topshop and DCK Concessions for getting props for their clever three-ring OMG set. I think that is such a cute jewelry concept!

In case you couldn’t tell that human beings have gotten on my last nerve lately, I’ve made two rude and lewd companions for the IDGAF necklace that I added to my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes diffusion line in June. My new STFU and GTFOH necklaces are available in your choice of sterling silver or 18K…
Vogue Paris Features Wendy Brandes Jewelry
In case you missed my excited tweets yesterday, Vogue Paris picked my Empress Wu dragon ring for its “le bijou du jour” website feature. I liked the way the story referred to me as “la créatrice new-yorkaise.” I also liked what supermodel Christy Turlington wrote about my ring on Vogue’s Facebook page. However, “a bit…
Jewel of the Month: Pearl Cufflinks for MrB’s Birthday
Today is MrB’s birthday: He’s turned the big Seven-Oh! A 70th birthday requires serious celebration, so over the weekend I organized a surprise dinner attended by his four children and two grandchildren. (Thanks to the peeps who flew from California and Florida for it.) I held it a few days before his birthday to throw…
