Over the weekend, New York was blessed with a visit from Florida-based Jorge Alvarado, the live-wire host of The Jorge Show. Jorge and his gorgeous producer Claudia invited me and designing lady Stacy Lomman to tape a midnight “Happy Hour” segment at the outdoor bar on the roof of Pod 39 on Saturday night. The…

It’s “Jif,” Bitch!
I love that Steve Wilhite, the inventor of the GIF, got a lifetime achievement award at The Webby Awards. (If you don’t know what a GIF is, click here.) What I love even more is that Wilhite is adamant about the often-disputed pronunciation of his file format. The New York Times quoted him as saying:…
What Wendy Wore: Modernizing Psychedelia
A few years ago, while I was browsing eBay or Etsy, I decided that I desperately needed more psychedelic clothes. I was not on acid at the time, so I don’t know why this happened. I wound up buying a strange-looking top with scalloped edges that I wore once or twice with jeans. I thought it…
What Wendy Wore: Lady Pink Jacket at the Rihanna Concert
I went to see Rihanna at Barclays Center on May 5 and took one of my best-ever concert photos! When Bad Gal RiRi first came out in this costume, it took me a moment to realize what the print was. Then I thought, “Bitch stole my style again!” First, she ran off with a leopard…
What Wendy Wore: The Crazy-Leg Boots Again
It seems that New York City is skipping spring this year. With one or two exceptions, it’s been very chilly here. I have a feeling we will go straight from chilly to sweltering, without pausing at “pleasant.” On the bright side, the cold weather has given me a chance to wear some winter clothes/accessories that…
What Wendy Wore: Camouflage and Safari Gear in South Africa
It was hard to see this leopard in a tree while on safari at Thornybush Game Lodge in South Africa last week. The wild cat’s excellent camouflage made me wonder if FitzRoy the cat chose his favorite bowl for similar reasons of discretion. If it’s good enough for cats, it’s good enough for me! When…
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…
What Wendy Wore: Leopard-Print DVF From 2002
While reading this weekend’s Wall Street Journal, I laughed a little over a story called, “The One That Got Away,” about shopping for past-season, but not-officially-vintage fashion on Yoox, eBay, and a number of recently launched pre-owned clothing sites. In particular, these two sentences amused me: “Buying clothes in this way, however, requires a change…
What Wendy Wore: Warm Climate, White Jeans
MrB and I are in Miami, happy to have escaped New York’s cold weather for a couple of days. Here’s what I wore for dinner with friends last night, styled in advance by Stacy Lomman. What Wendy Wore Top: Kelly Wearstler (2012) Jeans: Acne (2007) Shoes: Miu Miu (2010) I want to go to sleep…
What Wendy Wore: Out and About in Los Angeles
We’re heading back to New York today, though I wish I could stay a few more days in Los Angeles, just to go to the movies if nothing else. I finally saw Django Unchained and Life of Pi while we were out here, because they were playing at the fabulous Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. In…
