In Wednesday’s vlog about vintage designer Ossie Clark, I said that I hadn’t bought any new Ossie pieces in a long time. The prices were too high for several years, but, even after they came down a bit, I figured I had such a good Ossie collection that I would have to see a new…

Recommended Reading for Women’s Health Week
Mother’s Day marked the start of National Women’s Health Week, duly accompanied by a statement full of lies from the Pussy Grabber in Chief. The connection of National Women’s Health Week to Mother’s Day rubs me the wrong way, because what does it mean? Only mothers are women? Or is it that women’s health should…
Flashback Friday: Last August’s Platinum Video
Last August, I shot a video for Platinum Guild International about platinum jewelry, and the video recently went up on PGI’s site. Before I get to the video, some background: In the 1990s, I worked at CNN business news as a producer. In that role, I occasionally had to shoot those scene-setting B-roll moments that…
Throwback Thursday: Save Allan & Suzi!
I’m distressed by this Vice story about skyrocketing rent leading to the possible shuttering of Allan & Suzi’s consignment/vintage boutique. My relationship with Allan & Suzi goes back more than 20 years. In April 1995, I wrote a Wall Street Journal story about the owners’ local-cable shopping show. (As Vice notes, Golden Globe-winner Tracee Ellis…
Throwback Thursday: What Wendy Wore in January
Yesterday, I finally got around to writing about January’s Columbia Spectator fundraising dinner, at which Dan Rather was the keynote speaker. So it seems like the right time for the outfit post from that evening. This one has a guest star: my right-hand woman and branding chief, Eryn Patton, who joined me for the dinner….
From “Hold My Beer” to Dan Rather at Spectator
People who are on Twitter as much as I am might be getting tired of the “Hold my beer” jokes. (I’m still amused every time, but I’ve seen a few complaints.) On the other hand, if you’re not on social media at all, you might have no idea what “Hold my beer” means. Allow New…
What Wendy Wore: #TheHookUp Pop-Up Shop
A big thank you goes out to all the gorgeous clients who came by our two-day pop-up shop this week! And a YUGE thank you to jewelry designers Julie Lamb and Jackie Cohen, who organized this event, which they named #TheHookUp. As Julie told JCK, she and Jackie were “aiming to hook our guests up…
Jewels of the Month: Signet Rings for Rebel Women
Later today, I’ll be marking both International Women’s Day and A Day Without a Woman by joining a march in downtown Manhattan. Ahead of that, allow me to share March’s Jewels of the Month: signet pinkie rings for rebel women. These rings are completely customizable — you can select your own metal, insignia, and ring…
Good Times at Metal & Smith
The Metal & Smith jewelry show took place on Monday, and a good time was had by all! If you’re looking for an event space in Manhattan, I recommend the Mercantile Annex: I love a modern-looking venue with a white floor and white walls. Great natural light too! My right-hand woman Eryn and I introduced…
RIP, Carrie Fisher
I had a bad feeling about this. When Carrie Fisher’s mother, actress Debbie Reynolds, issued this statement two days after Fisher had a heart attack aboard a plane from London to Los Angeles, I read between the lines. Carrie is in stable condition.If there is a change,we will share it. For all her fans &…
