Tomorrow is the 4th of July. Normally, I’d be packing to go to London to visit my peeps there. Then I’d go on to Paris for Bastille Day. But my summer travel got pushed up to June this year. I didn’t have time to blog about the trip as it was happening because I spent…

What Wendy Wore: Casual in Castelbajac
I love to take boat rides when I’m traveling. Maybe I’m a sailor at heart. I certainly dress the part on occasion, thanks to designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. While too many viewings of Titanic have scared me off ocean crossings, I never get tired of the Bateaux Mouches in Paris. During a visit to the…
The Sulky Necklace in Action; Gangsta Boo’s Nameplate
Gorgeous blogger/jewelry muse Sulky Kitten is modeling my Sulky necklace design on her blog today. As I said last week, the letters on this necklace are 10 millimeters. The letters on the smaller version of my word necklace (seen below in its IDGAF version) are 5 millimeters. I’ll have two new sterling-silver IDGAF necklaces available…
Looking for a Few Good Women (Wearing Wedge Sneakers)
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…
What Wendy Wore: Black Halo Five-Peat
Like Marcel the Shell’s sister Marissa, I’m traveling. While packing for the trip, I thought I might need to wear something besides a black t-shirt, so I grabbed my disco-y Black Halo top. During the 36 hours I spent in Los Angeles — we made a pit stop there to visit MrB’s grandsons — I…
Dick Clark, Madonna and My 1980s Jewelry
Dick Clark — the host of American Bandstand and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve — died yesterday at age 82. You’ve probably seen his famous Bandstand chat with Madonna a thousand times in the past 24 hours, but I’m going to link to the clip again anyway. I was glued to the television when this originally…
Whitney Houston Is Gone
There are people who believe that the real Paul McCartney died in a car accident in 1966 and was replaced with a lookalike. I’ve always felt that way about Whitney Houston. I was never able to reconcile this Whitney — — the bubbly, bow-wearing Whitney of 1985’s “How Will I Know” — with what she…
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:…
Throwback Musical Fashions From the Jacksons … and Rihanna?
In 2010, a year after singer Michael Jackson’s death, his family launched the J5 Collection. J5 stands for the Jackson 5 — the family musical group that launched Michael, who ultimately went on to much bigger stardom. The website describes the “collection” as “a unique celebration of The Jacksons achievements as an international mega group.” …
