I’ve always had trouble describing my personal style, but this year designer/blogger/stylist Stacy Lomman declared I have an “affinity toward femininity,” including “low necklines adorned with drapey cascading ruffles or bias-cut fluttery skirts with flared gores.” Here’s one outfit for each month of 2012. Click the photos for the original post. So what do you…

The Rihanna Plane Has Landed
All good things must come to an end, and so it goes for the entertaining Twitter hashtag #rihannaplane. For her 777 tour — seven concerts in seven cities in seven countries in seven days to promote her seventh album, Unapologetic — Rihanna took a planeload of journalists along. The journalists kinda lost their minds (and…
Yelawolf and WendyB, the Goddess of Rap
I’m starting to think I might be some kind of rap goddess … or maybe just a prophet, leading nonbelievers to the promised land of hip-hop. Last year, I got my non-rap-fan sister to stand 9 1/2 hours with me to see Eminem at Lollapalooza. This summer, I took MrB to his first rap concert…
Stacy Lomman Wardrobe Therapy: Election Night Outfit
Early yesterday morning, I went to vote at my local Mormon church. It was mayhem. The lines weaved in and out of the pews so that confused people were constantly getting on the wrong queue; instead of the voting machines we had in the past, we got SAT-like forms with bubbles to color in with…
“That International Zensation … Fraulein Sally Bowles”
I enjoyed reading this 1973 interview with Liza Minnelli, posted by gorgeous blogger Liz of Vintage-a-Peel yesterday. Liza talked custom-made eyelashes and glittery shoes, and showed off some of her Halston outfits. She also namechecked Marchesa Luisa Casati, 30 years before the womenswear label Marchesa was named after the exotically dressed socialite of the early…
Get Smart (About $4,000 Suits and $10,000 Rings)
I’ve written plenty about the classic small-business issue of economy of scale: the high cost of producing low quantity (and the even higher cost of producing low quality without a way to distribute the goods). My Huffington Post story, “The Agony and Ecstasy of Small Business,” offers the most concise explanation, but you can get…
What Wendy Wore: Revolving Door of Clothes
I’m happy to wear the same pair of jeans for weeks on end, but today I changed outfits like a D-list celebrity attending New York Fashion Week for the first time. I started out in the red peplum dress made for me earlier this year by designer/blogger Stacy Lomman. I like to wear that one…
Teenage Dream: Converse Ultra-High-Tops
I tried to get an interview with someone from Converse for my Huffington Post wedge sneaker story, but, unfortunately, it didn’t work out. I wanted to ask the company about its sales because it seems to me that Converse’s classic Chuck Taylor sneaker — whether low-top or high-top — has become more popular than ever…
Bloggers on Huffington Post; the Truth About Sporty Spice
My looooong–awaited post on wedge sneakers is finally live on the Huffington Post’s Stylelist site. CLICK HERE TO READ THE STORY. I started working on this in May! But, as often happens when I hold on to a post for a long time, I got to add some good information to it. During the Spice…
What Wendy Wore: Happy 4th of July!
Yesterday, I said I wouldn’t show you my new Terry de Havilland shoes until today. The reason for that should now be obvious: They’re perfect for the 4th of July. Terry’s wife Liz told me that the flag shoes were originally designed in 1972, but that this particular pair was made for the 2004 opening…
