I’m glad I’m not a celebrity. I would hate to dress up for the paparazzi every time I take the dogs out or make an emergency Cadbury Dairy Milk run. My standard dog-walking look this summer has been unbrushed hair, an oversize concert t-shirt, bike shorts and flip flops. And that’s chic compared to what…

What Wendy Wore: Red Lips for Our Anniversary
MrB and I went to dinner for our 11th wedding anniversary on Sunday. I like theme dressing, so I considered wearing my Gemma Kahng leather vest with the big heart on the back. I’ve worn that for anniversary and Valentine’s Day dinners before. But I opted for a dress with a red-lip print instead. What…
Great Minds Think Alike: Silver Wedges by Prada & Louboutin
When I wore my silver Prada wedges to Milan Fashion Week in 2007, the shoes were already a couple of years old, so I was amused by all the photographers taking pictures of them. I thought it would be hilarious if that style appeared on someone’s runway the following season thanks to all the publicity….
Casting Call for Bloggers Wearing Wedge Sneakers
I’ve been looking for a pair of high-wedge sneakers for years. I tried on these sunny See by Chloe sneakers in 2009, but they didn’t fit. In 2010, I pondered this pair by Ash Shoes, but I wasn’t sure I loved them as much as the Chloes. I wound up with a pair of silver-sequin,…

What Wendy Wore: Watanabe Jacket, Stacy Lomman Vest
Last night, MrB and I went to an event hosted by The Weinstein Company, so I was inspired to wear the same Junya Watanabe jacket I wore to a Weinstein event in February. I am the anti-wardrobe-remixer. I got this jacket at Bergdorf Goodman. I was very excited to see it on Bergdorf’s homepage recently….
What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Dress, Zang Toi Jacket
MrB and I went to a dinner on Saturday. I was too tired from the excitement of getting FitzRoy on Friday to do much of a photo shoot. (This becoming a trend. I need to get more sleep.) This hallway snapshot is the best I could do. What Wendy Wore Dress: Stacy Lomman (2011. Last…
What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Jacket for Travel
Once I find something I like, I stick with it. I wore this Stacy Lomman jacket and scarf combination nearly every day last week, including travel to and from Los Angeles. I just changed the black t-shirt regularly, and the shoes occasionally. What Wendy Wore Jacket: Stacy Lomman (2011) T-shirt: Splendid Scarf: Alexander McQueen (2010)…
