Strike My Pose, There’s Nothing to It! VOGUE!
Earlier this week, I wrote about bitches stealing my trademark crossed-leg pose. Gorgeous blogger of Erin of Work With What You’ve Got commented, “I kind of want to do a tribute pose now, but I’m afraid you’ll rip out my weave!” I was so delighted by the idea of a blogger pose-off that I promised…
WendyB Called. She Wants Her Pose Back.
Once, when my father, GeorgeB, was struggling to take an acceptable outfit photo of me for this blog (“Move! Don’t stand there like a statue!”), I said sadly, “I have only one pose.” “Be thankful,” GeorgeB replied, “Some people don’t even have one.” It was the fashion-blogger version of “I cried because I had no…
What Wendy Wore: Desert Pose
I took a quick trip to Phoenix over the weekend. Thinking of Lexie, the gorgeous blogger who requested casual pictures, I posed with the local flora in the leopard-print Betsey Johnson jacket I’ve had since the early ’90s. Here’s the jacket in 1994. And here’s the jacket now. These days, I wear it with pants…

For a number of years, I’ve celebrated my December 23 birthday with friends on New Year’s Eve. On my actual birthday, I have dinner with the family. This year, for the family dinner, I wanted to wear the L’Wren Scott sequined pants that I last wore in July 2009, just because they were past due…

What the Bride Wore: Sequins and a Big Smile
Our friends Dick and Janice got married Sunday in a lovely ceremony. They read Rumi and Shakespeare to each other, causing me to jab MrB in his side and hiss, “You didn’t read any poetry to me.” Janice looked so glamorous. I was amazed to learn she was wearing J. Crew from head to toe: a…
What Wendy Wore: The Purple Jacket Takes Los Angeles
I sneaked off to Los Angeles for the weekend: MrB and I both had business to attend to, and family to see. The one drawback was that I was too booked to have one of my L.A. blogger fiestas.A Next time, peeps! As you might guess if you read my post on casual outfits, I…
What Wendy Wore: Casual for Thanksgiving in Florida
I spent Thanksgiving weekend at my sister’s house in Florida, wearing my usual black-top-and-jeans combo. Even before my now-two-year-old nephew, Sebastian Berry, was born, I didn’t dress up to hang out with the family at home. Now that Sebastian has joined us, I spend a lot of time sitting on the floor playing, so casual…
