I have a new obsession: collages of the same outfit in different years. I’ve always shown the outfit photos on my blog, but last month I decided to make some into collages and now I can’t stop! Here is my beloved Patrick Kelly leopard gown, from the late designer’s Fall/Winter 1989 collection, photographed in 2008,…

Wish List: Tom Ford for Gucci Dress From 2003 (NSFW)
Tom Ford’s kimono-inspired Spring/Summer 2003 collection for Gucci was so sex-ay! I always wanted one of the printed mini dresses. In case you’re looking for a gift for me, one of the dresses has turned up on 1stdibs.com. The cut-out back reminds me of back of the Fiorucci dress I loved so much in the…
Throwback Thursday: One Dress in 2002, 2010 and Today
After I did yesterday’s post on “dresses through the years,” I did a collage of the oldest dress — a Versace — for Facebook. Here it is. Click to enlarge! That inspired me to do another collage for Throwback Thursday with an even older dress. This leopard-print Diane von Furstenberg has been on the blog…
My Best Dressed at the Met Gala: Dita, SJP and Lupita
As if there had been any doubt, tonight’s Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala proved that the attendees of this event are very comfortable with “pretty.” Last year’s gala, which celebrated the opening of the “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit, should have inspired a lot of fun theme dressing, but with a few exceptions…
Lupita Wins My “Dress I Want Award” for the MTV Movie Awards
I watched Game of Thrones Sunday night (OMG, right?!!) then switched to the MTV Movie Awards right on time to see Eminem and Rihanna perform “The Monster.” Having seen the only part of the awards I was interested in, I then turned the television off and went out for some non-poisonous wine. I definitely didn’t…
Fashion Repeats Itself: Polka Dots and Flowers
Katy Perry wore a polka-dot-and-floral strapless gown on the red carpet at the American Music Awards. I got all excited, hoping she was wearing a 1980s Patrick Kelly … perhaps a ballgown version of the vintage dress currently available at Shrimpton Couture. Nope! Katy’s gown is actually from Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2014 collection….
Oh, You Big Ham! Cray-Cray Fashion from The Rodnik Band
I do have a passion for highlarious fashion, so I have to thank singer Rita Ora and Fashion Bomb Daily for introducing me to the art/fashion/performance art of The Rodnik Band via Rita’s cheese-slice dress. The Rodnik Band is designed by Philip Colbert, who was interviewed by the site Not Just a Label. The introduction to…
What Wendy Wore: Dolce & Gabbana and Rihanna’s Necklace
I sure do love leopard print, and one of my major fashion regrets is that I missed out on a two-toned leopard-print dress by Dolce & Gabbana in 2010. After I saw this bit of perfection on Rihanna I searched for it everywhere but to no avail. It was sold out in my size. I’m…
My Best Dressed at the Oscars: Naomi Watts
I saw lots of very lovely, appropriate dresses on the Oscar red carpet tonight. (I’ll include Anne Hathaway, whose “nipples” are actually — I think — darts in her Prada dress.) Like the Golden Globes, there was nothing crazy enough to warrant one of my coveted Best Dressed/Wear What You Want combo awards; Helena Bonham…
What Wendy Wore: The Weinstein Company Pre-Oscar Party
I’m in Los Angeles for Oscar festivities! I’m not going to the ceremony this time, but that’s okay. I’ve already lurked seductively behind George Clooney on the Oscar red carpet once in my life — who could ask for anything more? Last night was The Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar part at Soho House. Dorothy Pomerantz, writing…
