Throwback Thursday: Red, White & Blue Outfits for Holidays
It’s July 4th tomorrow, so I have some red, white and blue styles from years past for Throwback Thursday. The Jean-Charles de Castelbajac sailor outfit I got in Paris in 2010 always works for a patriotic holiday. The first time I wore it was in Mallorca — not for the 4th, just for fun. In…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday: Rihanna went nearly naked at the CFDA awards and I loved it. Wednesday: New photos of Skylar Grey and Hi-Rez wearing my jewelry. Thursday: Paris and Spain in 1989. Friday: My adventures at JCK Las Vegas.
Throwback Thursday: What Wendy Wore in Europe in 1989
Twenty-five years ago this month, I went to Paris for the first time. It was chilly and breezy during my stay. Here I am huddled in my denim jacket, wearing the leggings I wore all over Europe that summer. You can see the front view of the outfit here. I also went to London, Spain,…

What Wendy Wore: Patrick Kelly Opening in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Museum of Art celebrated its Patrick Kelly “Runway of Love” exhibit with an opening night party on Saturday. MrB, gorgeous designing friend Stacy Lomman and I put on our party clothes and drove to Philly for the celebration. I’m a big fan of Kelly, who died — too young, of AIDS — on…
Huffing and Puffing to Do My Huffington Puffer Story
The unusually cold and snowy winter we’ve had in New York City had me eager to do one of my Huffington Post fashion round-ups about stylish puffer (aka puffa) jackets, but it wasn’t meant to be. I didn’t get as many volunteers as I would like. Maybe I’ll try again next year. There should be…
What Wendy Wore: Zang Toi’s Fall 2014 Show
My designing friend Zang Toi (pronounced “Toy”) presented his Fall 2014 collection at the tents at Lincoln Center last Wednesday. Zang is often inspired by places and eras, and this season’s inspiration was 1930s Shanghai, aka the “Paris of the Orient.” Highlights included the sleek trouser suits Zang does so well … … brocade ……
Throwback Thursday: Marc Jacobs Show, 10 Years Ago
Marc Jacobs will show his Fall 2014 collection tonight at 8 PM at his usual venue: the armory at 68 Lexington Avenue. I wasn’t invited, but I did go to Marc’s shows for several years, thanks to MrB’s job. I think the last one we went to was in September 2007. That show was memorable…
Jewel of the Month: Susan’s Custom Birthstone Earrings
I enjoy redesigning my customers’ old, unloved jewelry. I’ve even redesigned earlier redesigns. For instance, I made a ring for my gorgeous sister, Terri Berry, in 2011. The stones originally came from my mother’s ruby-and-diamond cocktail ring. Before I was in the jewelry business, I took the cocktail ring to a local jeweler, who did…
