Here I am wearing a Versace top and skirt in 2004. Here I am wearing the same top and skirt last week, while doing a modified Angelina Jolie leg-thrusting pose. I’m carrying a Louis Vuitton bag from 2001 in both photos. In the earlier picture, I’m wearing patent Prada Mary Janes that I bought in…

I’m Thankful for the Committee to Protect Journalists
For me, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving is always about the annual International Press Freedom Awards dinner, hosted by the Committee to Protect Journalists. The black-tie dinner, held at the Waldorf-Astoria, honors journalists from around the world who risk their lives to report from war zones and in defiance of brutal regimes. It also raises money…
Stacy Lomman Wardrobe Therapy: Outfit #4
The Yelawolf concert/nor’easter on Wednesday kicked my ass. I was knocked out with a bad cold for days. Fortunately, I was able to pull myself together to go to a screening of Silver Linings Playbook last night. Knowing that I had a Stacy Lomman-styled outfit to wear helped me get out of bed. As I…
Non-Buyer’s Remorse: Giuseppe Zanotti Wedge Sneakers
I very rarely suffer from buyer’s remorse, but every once in a while I come down with a case of non-buyer’s remorse. Right now I have it bad for the silver Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sneakers that Sporty Spice wore at the Olympic closing ceremonies. I loved those sneakers when I saw them, but I sternly…
Great Minds Think Alike … About Cutouts
Many designers have done slashed necklines, but I was struck by the fact that I spotted the 1980s Geoffrey Beene online mere seconds after I saw the Spring 2013 Versace. Business-y slashed neckline versus boudoir slashed neckline … which do you prefer?

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: Watanabe to the Weinstein Party
Remember that crazy Junya Watanabe jacket I tried on at Bergdorf Goodman earlier this week? I bought it, of course, and wore it to the Weinstein Company pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles last night. The event was fabulous! Tony Bennett was there and sang “Autumn Leaves” to the Weinstein brothers’ mother. And I spotted Meryl…
What Wendy Wore: Vintage Peplum Jacket
The peplum has made one of its periodic comebacks as a fashion trend. The look brings back fond memories of a structured black cotton jacket with a peplum that I wore in the early ’90s. I had a few tailored pieces by Teenflo for work back then and the jacket might have been one of…
