Fashion bloggers: You still have a little time to send me outfit photos featuring your wedge sneakers for a story I’m doing. (I’ll take photos of other fancy-schmancy sneakers too.) I was just in Paris for a few days and saw wedges and other chic kicks everywhere. I know you bloggers are on it! Hit…

Great Minds Think Alike: Silver Wedges by Prada & Louboutin
When I wore my silver Prada wedges to Milan Fashion Week in 2007, the shoes were already a couple of years old, so I was amused by all the photographers taking pictures of them. I thought it would be hilarious if that style appeared on someone’s runway the following season thanks to all the publicity….
Casting Call for Bloggers Wearing Wedge Sneakers
I’ve been looking for a pair of high-wedge sneakers for years. I tried on these sunny See by Chloe sneakers in 2009, but they didn’t fit. In 2010, I pondered this pair by Ash Shoes, but I wasn’t sure I loved them as much as the Chloes. I wound up with a pair of silver-sequin,…
Surrender to Pink
Studded and spiked shoes have been done to death, and I thought the look would never appeal to me again. Well, you know what I say about the word “never”; I might as well replace it with “definitely” when it comes to fashion. Gorgeous blogger Poochie of Shoe Daydreams posted these shoes by Ruthie Davis,…
What Wendy Wore: Stacy Lomman Jacket for Travel
Once I find something I like, I stick with it. I wore this Stacy Lomman jacket and scarf combination nearly every day last week, including travel to and from Los Angeles. I just changed the black t-shirt regularly, and the shoes occasionally. What Wendy Wore Jacket: Stacy Lomman (2011) T-shirt: Splendid Scarf: Alexander McQueen (2010)…
Never Is the Next New Thing™: Animal-Toe Shoes
My “Never Is the Next New Thing™” fashion theory states that the most provocative/grating/startling looks — the ones that make you say, “I would NEVER wear that!” — are the ones most likely to become trends, big or small. I had my own “Never Is the Next New Thing™ fashion moment in July when, three…
What Wendy Wore: The Committee to Protect Journalists Dinner
Last night, MrB and I attended an event that’s very important to us: the annual International Press Freedom Awards Dinner for the Committee to Protect Journalists. The dinner honors journalists from around the world who risk their lives to report from war zones and in defiance of brutal regimes. On its website, CPJ explains what…
What Wendy Wore: “Vintage” Moschino and Manolo
For dinner with friends on Friday, I wore homegrown vintage. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a photo of this skirt until now. Most of the clothing in this picture predates the blog, which I started in 2007. The dates below are my best guesses as to when I purchased everything. What Wendy Wore Sweater:…
Nicholas Kirkwood Should Read My Blog
Demure is back for fall and spring, declared Christina Binkley in “The Real Housewives,” the lead story in the Off Duty section of the weekend’s Wall Street Journal. “The most startling thing about women’s fashion right right now is how perfectly not-startling it is,” Binkley wrote. “June Cleaver would approve: skirts swish about the shins,…
Snakes in My Closet
Right before Snakes on a Plane came out five years ago, a friend and I were so swayed by the pre-opening online hype that we bet MrB that the movie would be a mega-blockbuster. Well, it turned out that the hype was just hype. According to IMDB, the movie’s domestic gross barely topped the production…
