MrB and I were in Los Angeles for the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday. (Thanks for inviting us, Graydon Carter!) We watched the Oscars as we got dressed, and we were standing in front of the television, ready to walk out, just as Best Picture was announced. I was disappointed that La La Land…
My Best Dressed at the 2017 Oscars Is …
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about tiaras lately, so I loved seeing a major ruby headpiece, designed by Irene Neuwirth, on Best Actress nominee Ruth Negga at the Oscars. Embed from Getty Images Some people say that red doesn’t stand out on a red carpet, but Ruth killed it with not just the…
What Wendy Tried: Oscar de la Renta on Oscar Weekend
I hadn’t visited Decades in Los Angeles — aka vintage-gown heaven — in forever, and I rectified that yesterday. I emailed fabulous sales associate Helena before I went in and told her I only wanted to see over-the-top designs. I believe this one was by Oscar de la Renta. I tried on a lot of…
Throwback Thursday: Adele in Concert
When I was writing about Beyoncé, Adele, and the Grammys on Monday, I wanted to link to my post about Adele’s concert at Madison Square Garden last September. However, such a post was nowhere to be found! Adele wasn’t even mentioned in my year-end list of all the 2016 concerts I hadn’t written about earlier….
The Maneater Collection Gets Some Lovin’
A huge thank you goes out to image consultant Amy Roseveare for interviewing me at length about my Maneater collection for her Jewelry Fashion Tips blog!

Recommended Reading: Milo the Troll as Peter Pan
There have already been plenty of think pieces about Milo Yiannopoulos, the Trump-supporting professional provocateur and banned Twitter troll who finally took it too far with his comments about “cross-generational relationships.” His foul statements about women, African-Americans, Muslims, gay and transgender people, immigrants, and fat people were fine with his audience at the hate-spreading site…
Beyoncé Should Be a Grammys Wake-Up Call
I haven’t stopped thinking about the Grammys since they aired just over a week ago — and by “the Grammys” I mean “Beyoncé.” Embed from Getty Images The show belonged to Beyoncé — now the most nominated female artist in Grammy history — even though she only won two of her nine categories: best urban…
The Week in Review
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Sunday: Big earrings were the big jewelry trend at the NAACP Image Awards, the BAFTAs, and the Grammys. Monday: One way to get my attention at the Grammys is to dress like C-3PO. Good job, Cee Lo. Tuesday: Whether you celebrate Valentine’s…
What Wendy Wore: Valentine’s Day
On Valentine’s Day, I wore my 1990s leather vest by Gemma Kahng. I’ve worn it before for Valentine’s Day and anniversaries. It’s got heart buttons too. My Diana heart ring went well with the vest. You know I love theme dressing! MrB and I went to Aquagrill. They have a great oysters there. MrB likes…
What Wendy Wore: The Low-Cut Moschino Jacket
For a meeting with an editor at W Magazine today, I wore a boobacious vintage Moschino jacket. Actually, it’s double-vintage, because it was already vintage when I bought it in 2007. Here’s a picture taken today in the Condé Nast lobby. What Wendy Wore Jacket: Moschino (acquired in 2007) Jeans: Madewell (2016) Boots: Celine (2012)…
