Yesterday, I showed you the two outfits I would have chosen between if I’d had gone to the Golden Globes last Sunday. Here’s a closer look at the jewelry I would have worn with either outfit — all my own designs, of course. (I had to raid the vault for this little photo shoot!) From…

Wednesday’s Video: The Golden Globes and Your Vote
I think I should be invited to all major red-carpet events just to prove that I can shop my closet for every occasion! Like on Sunday, when I was watching the Golden Globes, I thought of two outfits immediately. The dress code called for black, and I’ve been in a pantsuit kind of mood, so…
What Wendy Wore: Iceland Exploration
As I mentioned in this post, I spent New Year’s in Reykjavik, Iceland, with friends. I normally celebrate my birthday with family on the actual day (December 23) and then have a combined New Year’s Eve/birthday celebration with friends. However, this year — as you may recall — was a big birthday. I started contemplating…
New Year’s Greetings From Iceland
Happy New Year! I am in Reykjavík, Iceland, continuing my big birthday celebration with MrB and a few friends. I wouldn’t normally choose to wear snow boots with this fringed, suede skirt … A post shared by Wendy Brandes (@wendybrandes) on Dec 31, 2017 at 5:50pm PST … but I didn’t mind sacrificing style for…
Slow-Fashion Year in Review: What Wendy Wore in 2017
To bring 2017 to a close, I’m taking a look back at 12 “What Wendy Wore” highlights, with an emphasis on slow fashion. Click the photos for the original posts. January began with all gold everything, as I rang in 2017 in a gold gown first worn in 2004. This time, I added a crown….
What Wendy Wore: Casual on Repeat for Jumanji
MrB and I went to a screening of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle tonight and we laughed our heads off. Go see it, because who among us doesn’t desperately need a funny movie these days? Not only that, but my stepdaughter Laura Yanovich was the first assistant editor, so the editing is extra-extra-good. Also, Jack…
Throwback Thursday: CPJ Outfits From 2007-2017
Last night, MrB and I went to the annual International Press Freedom Awards dinner held by the Committee to Protect Journalists. CPJ is a cause near and dear to our hearts — so dear, in fact, that MrB served as chairman for six years. The organization is an independent nonprofit that promotes press freedom worldwide…
What Wendy Wore: Poynter’s Bowtie Ball
This weekend, MrB and I went to Tampa, Fla., for the Poynter Institute’s Bowtie Ball. The Poynter Institute is a top resource on journalism for working journalists, people who teach journalism, students, and consumers. As the Poynter website says, “We teach leadership, ethical decision-making and fact-checking; we teach editing, writing, reporting and digital media skills;…
Greetings From the Portland Jewelry Symposium
Thanks to jewelry-industry guru Peggy Jo Donahue, I’m out in Portland, Ore., to participate in a panel at the Portland Jewelry Symposium. This is my second Peggy Jo panel in a week. Last Tuesday, I was in New York talking about using social media as part of a design business at a 7:30 a.m. breakfast….
What Wendy Wore: Vienna, Dressy and Casual
I’ve done Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday posts this week. I’m not sure how today’s post should be categorized. Seen-Before Saturday? Near the end of MrB’s working vacation in Europe, we attended the Global Editors Network Summit’s Data Journalism Awards dinner in Vienna. MrB is president of the awards, so he did some speaking and…
