Fashion is an art form all it’s own. You might call it “decorative” or “applied art” as opposed to fine art, but what’s the distinction? The same amount of artistic expression goes into clothes, a piece of pottery, or a painting. Today, fine art at the moment seems less concerned with beauty, so you could say that fashion – which is always about a concept
Dare to Wear: COLOR!
Step outside your comfort zone in some bold-hued pieces! This season, orange is the new black. As are pink, blue, red, green, yellow, and a whole symphony of hues that demand attention.
Launch Into Leather
Knowing how much I’m IN to the texture of everything in my wardrobe, from undergarments to jewelry to handbags, I can’t believe I haven’t written about leather. As integral to winter as white cotton is to summer, black leather has always been my go-to cover up for jackets. But, this season, it dominates our wardrobe from top to toe and day to evening. Here’s how to
Wendi Would… Tell the WENDISTRY Story
Yep, it’s a long one… Mix yourself a cocktail 😉 It started with a date. A Groupon painting class which offered a 20″x20″ canvas, brushes & palette knives, all the paints you could possibly want, wine, crackers, cheese, and fruit snacks, plus a live DJ making the atmosphere completely creative. I signed Scott and me up, and for three hours on a spring Saturday afternoon in

Why It Matters to Dress for the Day
I have to admit… I’m frequently shocked at what people consider “safe for public consumption” when it comes their attire these days. It’s like the communication of clothing has gone the way of cursive handwriting. It seems the only thing that matters is the wearer’s personal comfort. Call me old-fashioned, but I long for the days of my grandmother. Hat, gloves, stockings, lipstick… the final
Prints Charming: How to Carry Head-to-Toe Patterns
As if we needed a reminder that fashion should be fun, this season isn’t bashful with traditional prints (like polka dots and plaids) playing along with whimsical patterns. For every minimalist, there is a MAXimalist dressing with peacock prowess. And, there’s no where better to spot the “Prints-cesses” than on the street at New York Fashion Week. While some of their choices are bit beyond
That Velvet Touch
You know me… I’m all about TOUCH when it comes to my favorite fashions. The feel of fabrics and textures on the body and in the hand is most of what inspired me to create my handbags, and especially to paint them with such a heavy impasto technique. For fall, velvet and brocade are at the forefront with all their rich connotations. These lush and
How to Wear It: Fur Accents
I love the idea that a single item – the new shape of a coat, cat-eye sunnies, a statement bag – can reinvigorate your style in an instant. Owning a good fur (whether real or faux) is a no-brainer for fall, but finding interesting options, other than a coat, can be tough. So, I went in search of some new pieces to add to the mix. Enter ACCESSORIES! From your
