Last week, gorgeous blonde blogger The Shoe Girl came to town and took me to the FFANY Shoes on Sale party at Lincoln Center. I wore a strapless Jean-Charles de Castelbajac motorcycle-zipper dress that I got in Paris this summer. The dress made me a little crazy. I was inspired to try a hairstyle that…

Four Reasons to Be Proud
My Mud Flap Jill cufflinks made it into Houston Magazine‘s October 2009 issue. Even better, they’re in a T&A-themed feature.

“Caption This” Contest Winners
I loved all the caption suggestions for the backstage photo from my post on the Francis Spring 2010 look book shoot. I admit I was a bit surprised we got no “The Pet Goat” suggestions, because that’s what Jennine, Christian and I thought of when we first saw the photo. C’mon, people! It’s okay to…

Look, Ma, No Teeth! (Don’t Forget to Vote)
I’m amazed that gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu got a picture of us at the Independent Fashion Bloggers Dress Up Soiree in which I’m smiling but not showing teeth. I’m sure I haven’t taken a picture like that in 20 years. Hmmm. My memory is going. Have I mentioned that Independent Fashion Bloggers is having…
Tavi’s WendyB Polyvore Sets
