Minx Manicures: Not for the Antisocial
I’m wearing a very special dress for a very special occasion tomorrow. While I was combing out my faux-ny tail late last night ( it’s not a party without a faux-ny tail! ), I realized I urgently needed a metallic Minx manicure to complete the look. Minx is not a polish; it’s ...

Up!
I meant to take lots of photos at my pop-up shop yesterday, but I was too busy. Right before I closed, I remembered to take an outfit photo. The dress is a vintage Jacques Tiffeau . The shoes are by Yves Saint Laurent and are a few years old — the only YSLs that have ever fit me. They ...

You Give Me (Nonexistent) Fever
I got a little hoarse yesterday. Not this kind of horse. The throat kind. Considering I have two sales coming up, this hoarseness made me very nervous. I took my temperature and it was 99.1. This is basically normal, but, because it wasn’t exactly 98.6, I decided I must be coming ...

Days of Wine and Cheese and Vintage
I dropped by my pop-up shop space on Sunday to take some final measurements and found two lovely ladies in temporary residence, doing their own pop-up shop. The owners of Poppet Vintage and Tahir Boutique showed me their vintage wares, including this blouson Koos Van Den Akker Couture dress. ...

Jimmy Choo for H&M and … Duck!
I walked by H&M on 5th Avenue yesterday and saw workers literally rolling out the red carpet for the launch of the Jimmy Choo collection today. Boxes in the window. If — no, WHEN! — I do the WendyB line for H&M, I promise that all you blog roll bitches are going to ...

Outfit Post: A Stitch in Time
I don’t love being in front of a camera. I have one look: a big smile . If I don’t smile, my eyes are still smiling. If my eyes aren’t smiling, I look sad instead of serious or sexy. Plus I’m always disappointed that I don’t look like a young Sophia Loren in the ...
